Mom: Son making slow recovery after hit while on bike
To the community,
I wanted to give you an update on our son, Adam. He has been released from Renown and is at home, trying to heal as best he can.
He sustained a compound fracture of his left arm and has a steel rod implanted along with seven screws and a plate. He also sustained a compound fracture of two bones in his right leg and almost lost the lower leg and his right foot. That leg has a titanium rod, six pins, bolts and a plate. He has more than 100 sutures and staples and multiple abrasions and bruises. We are amazed he did not suffer any head trauma.
In the midst of such an incredibly difficult time, I have been so impressed by Adam’s attitude. I have not heard him complain one time.
Not only is he dealing with the physical pain and trauma, he has to come to grips with the way this will affect his ability to earn a living. He is trying to be upbeat and positive. We are so very proud of him.
Thanks once again to South Lake Tahoe residents for their wonderful help and support.
Kind regards,
Terry Soule
Publisher’s note: Adam Rose, 38, was on his bicycle Aug. 21 when he was hit by an alleged hit-and-run drunken driver.
My thoughts and prayers are with Adam and your family. Sounds like his special outlook and attitude with help you all through this trying time. Best Wishes.
Thank you for the update on your son’s recovery. We all wish him a speedy and full recovery.
Thanks so much for the update Terry. Please convey my best wishes for Adam’s continued recovery. You might want to look into a formula from Jarrow called ‘Bone Up’. It’s a supplement loaded with substances the body needs to build /repair bone. Grass Roots carries it. I’m currently taking it for my leg fracture and have used it in the past with good results. Others who’ve used it also report good results. Again, best wishes for a good recovery Adam..keep your spirits high!
Thank you for the update on Adam. We, in the area were devistated by what happened that day… And so relieved to know Adam survived! There are many organizations in the community that will be avail for fund raiser’s for Adam when ready! (moose lodge, American legion, etc)!! We,in south lake, can really come through during times like this..! Our best to Adam..!
I am holding Adam and your family in my prayers.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Much love to you all!
This is Adam Rose, thank you all for the prayers, thoughts, and comments. As my mom said, I’m home and healing, taking it day by day. Thanks again to all who were involved when I was hit, everyone played a part in saving my life and my leg. Thank you also to the entire staff at Renown.
