Our flight home from Krabi was on Monday so we had to wait until then to get John to a large and private hospital to get checked out. Monday night at about 3AM he was complaining of leg pain. I went to look at it and he had developed a hematoma the size of a dessert palate behind his left knee. It was some some concern to me as was aware of compartmental syndrom and the seriousness of that. We made it on the earliest flight home and went straight to the hospital in Bangkok. After seeing 4 different Doctors, having test run and an MRI - we were allowed to take John home. They wanted to keep him over night but John felt that he would rest better at home.
John is a very lucky young man. He was truly watched over and protected from any major harm. These are actually pictures taken TEN days after the accident. It looks as if he has a knee cap on the back of his knee cap!

John has been in pain and it hasn't been easy for him. He was confined to a wheel chair for the first two weeks at school. He could afford to miss any classes as it is the end of the year and finals are next week. He has tried to do his best and I am very proud of him. I am very grateful for protecting hand that watched over him through all of this. It could have been so much worse. He was bruised and battered but NOT broken and I grateful for that.
