This is what he saw, an amazing view of Bellingham & Mt Baker.
This is how he ended up- Broken.
He was going down hill, hit some gravel, his back tire slid out from under him and wham. He broke his helmet, his collarbone and probably some ribs which poked a whole in his right lung. So here he is in the ER at the start of his 3 day hospital stint waiting for his lung to heal so his chest tube could be removed. (the hole in his lung leaked air to the sac around the lung causing it to compress and collapse part of the lung. A chest tube is inserted to suck the air out of the sac allowing the lung to reinflate and heal) There is not much they can do for collarbones, surgery would make it heal faster but with no better outcome. So for now Greg's arms in a sling and he's having some forced down time, 6-8 weeks This shouldn't effect our travel for B, although it may give us the perk of more travel time and time for Greg to bond with B once we're home.

That's AWFUL!!! Sean and I are moaning in sympathetic agony. I'm so glad you had that helmet on. Here's to a quick recovery!
Oh my word!!! That's just insane! I hope he is healing nicely...
