What happened?

Several people have been asking and wondering what happened to Bud so this is an attempt to answer some questions for all those who love him so dearly.
This past weekend Bud was in a snow mobiling accident. Several hours later he was life flighted to the hospital where he was diagnosed with broken ribs and a broken back and some bruising in his spinal chord. He received a major surgery on his back earlier this week and doctors say that it was a successful surgery, all went as planned. As of right now, his injuries have left him with no feeling in his legs but we are still hopeful and prayerful that as time will pass, his body will have a chance to heal. We all know Bud is a fighter and he never ceases to amaze us so we will hope for the best. Already, within this tragedy, it seems there have been several small miracles and we will continue to pray for more in behalf of Bud, Alyssa, and their family.
