Episode 4 - Getting Back To Life

 Back to school

When I came home, the next day I just went straight back to school because i was determined to talk with my friends and get back to a normal life. However, it was not as easy as I thought! A BUNCH OF KIDS were asking me, Hudson-Hudson what happened to your hand and I was so so tired of telling everybody but, I also thought it would be rude to just ignore them so I was just MISERABLE. 

I could not just go back and play basketball just like that because my hand was very injured, so if I got hit with the ball, I'm dead meat. After a while I got to get back to baseketball but it wasn't easy it was HARD I MEAN HARD. My mom had to get a doctors note then give it to the principal, but then whenever i tried to play baseketball the supervisors would say- hey you are not allowed to play because of your hand, but my mom had just gave me a doctors note so i pulled it out and said this is the doctor's note.

Struggles of living with an injured hand

I always have people come and ask  me about my hand and I've i told everybody so many times, i think "why do i have to do this". I also have been struggling with so much other stuff. For example, the most hardest thing i try to play basketball and everyone is just underestimating me and not passing to me.

Struggles of the dressing changes

[note dressing changes are referring the the daily(ish) times Hudson's wrappings and ointments on his injury had to be changed out]

The dressing changes were one of the most hardest things about my accident. It hurt so bad there was gauze and some wrap that would cover my injury. The guze would get stuck to my hand and when my parents took it off it hurt SO SO BAD. I would just cry and cry and cry it hurt but i had to do it every day, but thankfully after so long i finally got to stop doing dressing changes.


Dad's note:

This has been an especially hard week for Hudson. He found out at a Dr.'s appointment there is a chance he may have to have another surgery and/or he may not get full functionality out of his middle finger. He's been working so hard on his physical therapy to get his fingers functioning again, so it was a pretty heavy blow. While that's certainly made for a harder week for all of us, I'm so proud of Hudson for sticking with his blog this week and finding it within himself to both feel the weight of his feelings and talk about the hard stuff, while also looking for silver linings and working to find things to be positive about.

    You’re really brave man I can’t imagine what you’re going through. When people ask you can just give them the link to your blog when they ask & say you put everything there.

    I finally figured out how to get logged in so that I can comment :)

    You are so brave to share your story. I know it must be annoying to keep explaining your hand, but it’s really nice of you to do it anyway—your friends care about you a lot!

    It’s awesome that you’re sticking with basketball, even though it’s hard. That moment with the doctor’s note? So cool! You’re showing everyone how strong you are.

    I’m sorry the dressing changes hurt so much, but you got through it like a warrior. Keep being amazing, Hudson—I’m cheering you on!

Episode 1- The day that changed my life forever

 Hello my name is Hudson and I am 9 years old. I had a big accident on October 19 2024 in Helendale. What happened was I was driving an ATV and my cousin Sadie was in with me and I was going on a big jump and after I landed my jump there was another bump and some rocks and the tires broke so I flipped over! Luckily my cousin was not injured but I was and my left hand flew out the window and the ATV landed on my hand so my pinky ring and middle finger FELL OFF and my palm cut open an I saw my bone! It was a freak accident that I only felt a little amount of pain when it first happened.  The best miracle that ever happened to me because my dad my brother Hyrum were there to help flip the ATV over and my dad was trying to call 911but it was loud in my dads ATV, so he was driving super fast to the fire station because he could not hear the 911 people speaking. The firemen gave me a IV (which is a shot) in my right hand and they put this sticky stuff over it and they attached a lit...

Episode 2- The Hospital

The hospital was a really hard experience, but there was some ups and downs. I stayed in two different rooms during my 10 days. The first room was REALLY REALLY BAD because it was tiny and the bed was uncomfortable and the bathroom was very small.  I am still very very grateful that I got a place to stay while I was healing.  My second room that I stayed in was GREAT! It was so big and it had a large TV.  The bed was really comfortable and it also had a huge bathroom. Now I can tell you what happened in between. When I was in my first room I had two IV's. One was in my foot and the other in my hand. I was on an antibiotic because my hand was so dirty. The IVs were connected to a cart with long tubes that got medicine into my body. The cart is this thing that attaches to my ivs on a long tube, whenever I go to the bathroom I have to walk with it. After I go to the bathroom I go on a walk to exercise my legs and I went around the hospital. I always see these inside-out...

Episode 3- Accident Photos & Jumping Video!

This is me when I was doing my jumps. This is also the jump right before the accident. I loved riding the atv so much whenever I had a chance to ride on it I did. I plan on riding again but I am a little scared to because if the tires break again it would not be fun. This is me when I was at the firestation and when they put my iv in. I was feeling fine because it was such a freak accident. It only hurt a little bit but the shot that they gave me really hurt. They were touching me on my arms legs and head to see if any other part of my body was injured, but luckily no other part of my body was injured, but there was a burn on my leg. This is the helicopter that took me to loma linda. It was weird going in it because it was really windy and bumpy. They gave me some medicine in the helicopter as well. My dad took this picture when I was in the air in the helicopter. This is the atv I was riding in and as you can see the tires are slanted and broken. My cousin Sadey was riding with me. My...
