On Sunday afternoon the phone rang. Caller ID showed our son Cameron's name.
I immediately knew something was not right..he's a quiet guy and doesn't call much. We keep in touch with him through messaging.
He told me he had gotten in an accident riding his bike.

Cam lives in Brooklyn. I think he called from the sidewalk at the accident scene, since he mentioned something about an EMT and waiting for an ambulance. It was a confusing phone call, to say the least.
A few hours later he called from the ER to tell me he had fractured his hip.
Long story short our boy called me around 1:20 a.m. to say he was out of surgery. He has pins in his hip now. I don't know all the details yet.
This morning he messaged me he had eaten breakfast and a friend would be bringing him a phone charger, so I know he's doing OK.
Cameron never got badly hurt when he was growing up; he wasn't the most active or athletic kid around..he was much more of a computer geek from a young age!
But that geekiness has paid off for him in the workplace, I'm happy to say. We're very proud of our guy.
But today I feel so badly for him. He recently has gotten into biking and running and working on getting healthier.
Life isn't fair - to use another trite saying in this post.
So glad to hear he's doing well after surgery. Continued prayers for a speedy recovery.
