Alex goes to the Hospital

Our vacation to Queenstown was a true adventure. Queenstown is "Home of the Bungy" and literally the "extreme sport capital of the world. For Alex, a dream come true. We did a ton of biking. The choices were just endless and the tracks were all "cherry".
However on the 5th day of riding hard, Alex caught his bike shorts on his seat of his bike on a big jump which flipped his weight forward and he wrecked hard. As a result he sprained both wrists, bruised his kidney, smashed the front of his helmet (mild concussion) and acquired alot of bruises and cuts on his shoulder, face and arms.
We took him to the emergency room even though he was not knocked out and he got right up after the wreck.  He had to spend the night in the hospital while they monitored his internal injuries (mom too) We enjoyed the old man in the room next to ours yelling "Milo! Milo!" all through the night and day :-) Smile!

Not feeling too hot
