My husband had an accident Saturday night.  He was painting at the new house we are building and lost his footing, falling about 15 ft.  It took him an hour to crawl to the cell phone which was 10 feet away.  He called me and I called the ambulance.  He was taken to Westchester Medical center in Valhalla because they have the trauma center.  He ended up breaking his lower right leg and one of the vertebrae in his back.  Thankfully the spinal cord was not damaged, and he still has all feeling and movement in his arms and legs.  He is getting a body brace today and if it keeps his spine aligned than he won't need surgery. He will have to be in the brace for 6 - 12 weeks, as well as have the cast on his leg from his ankle to the top of his thigh for 3 months.  Then there is rehab and physical therapy afterwards.  He has a long road ahead of him, but all in all, he should make a full recovery.  

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
