It Was All Fun and Games Until...



Garett was having a wonderful time with Jackson…until he wasn't.  They went out for a longboarding ride (fast, downhill skateboarding).  Jackson hit a pothole and Garett tried to go around him and hit one himself.  Jackson called 911 because Garett's arm was not supposed to look like that.  :)  Jackson's mom was in Chicago dropping off a friend and so the pair went to the hospital (parentless!).  Kevin was in Connecticut and immediately hopped in the car to get down there.  Jackson's parents stayed with him as did our dear friend, Julie Bridge.  Two broken bones, compound break through the skin, and an additional fracture.   He endured a 3 hour surgery to insert 14 screws, 2 plates and irrigate to prevent infection.
