Mike and Lyssa.. may our saivor and Father be with Mike and bless you.

[@rebeccawaggner5291]

Rest up Mike your family needs you to heal up. Everything else can wait.

[@pennym3036]

The pain is showing Mike. Please take good care of yourself and follow orders. You may want to sleep in the recliner at the cabin, keep yourself propped up.

[@bonniemoore4056]

Yes sleeping in a recliner would would make you breath and change position easier. 🥲🙏🙏🙏

[@creinicke1000]

So happy to see you walk into the picture without all the bandages.

[@driftingdreamers5]

Me too

[@IntoTheMissed]

Get well MIKE 💚

[@driftingdreamers5]

Ty 💚 😊

[@neals7662]

I have had a collapsed lung before. They are not fun. Please take the time to heal right Mike. You will regret it when you get older if you don't heal right. Ask me how i know LOL

[@KuzweKanfarms]

Praying for fast healing!

[@janhayertz2242]

So glad you are not broken. Take advantage of David's shower. Remember hot then cold.

[@driftingdreamers5]

Very true

[@conniedraper2651]

Oh God Mike. I read that you got hurt and now it's going on the 4th day and you feel worse. I also read that you, Lissa had a light case of heat stroke or overheating on Saturday. Im glad you're better now. Hopefully Mike will be well enough after 2 weeks that he isnt in so much pain. I'm sorry to say but, i think it's going to take mors like 3 or possibly 4 weeks to feeling better for Mike. I'll pray for you Mike and i know Lissa is right there for you too. Hugs to you both. 🙏🤗🤗❤

[@jamiebroadstock4142]

Hey Mike, I have done something similar to what you have just done except my bike had a motor. Felt like I was dying, and after all the tests, I was told no broken bones and shortness of breath was as a result of shocking all my internal organs basically and strained my muscles. It will get worse before better, but you will be back on your feet soon, brother. Cheers.

[@carolynklenk8467]

Yes thank God nurse Tara was there! !! She's such a asset to the framily and a wonderful person!! Thanks for sharing!! I know your going to want to run and jump in a couple of days but please take it easy! God bless!! ❤ Mamma Carolyn

[@deborahlehman8617]

Oh man Mike a year ago I was in a hotel got in the shower it turned into a skating rink and I went flying out of it and on the floor fractured my right arm and heard a pop and felt pain and also ended up with a bruised chest it took me over a year to get over it they just kept telling me there was nothing that can be done it just takes time to heal but over a year!!! Dang now when I start feeling bad like the flu or something it gets real sore-not fun!! Hope you have better luck, had to sleep upright in a recliner for a few months! Ice it and then after awhile put heating pad on that really helped but not right now Ice baby Ice!

[@karenwimberley5033]

40 years a Nurse never heard of a Popped Lung. Maybe a Collapsed lung? Glad that is not it that means cutting into side of chest and placing a thick tube causing negative pressure so lung re inflates.

[@cathyrackley982]

Mike, hope you get better soon, please take care!!!Lyssa glad you are feeling better!!! Love you guys!

[@KarenAnthony-cv6qj]

Glad your OK Mike I am so glad you're okay. Sorry I haven't been on very much to see your videos I will get caught up a lot has been going on but I love watching you guys I miss you

[@karenspeer7378]

I pray you heal quickly!! Please Rest!! ❤❤

[@wandal.rodriguez7253]

Take some of those pillows behind you. So you can sit up more. It will help you breathe better

[@donaldmarcum869]

Mike so glad you are okay. Please be careful. Stop giving Lyssa and the kids heart failure. No motorcycles, and no bicycles. You are grounded. Just kidding. You’re

[@driftingdreamers5]

🥰🥰🥰

[@sandys4821]

Thankfully the lungs aren’t punctured! Praying for healing 🙏

[@stephaniedeegan853]

Being bruised is a very painful situation. Falling and all your muscles, tendons and ligaments being jerked around can take some time to heal. Moist heat pad can really help with the pain. Alternating with ice can also work. Keep moving gently to keep from getting stiff. Ive been there brother when I too fell and tore my rotator cuff in my shoulder. Listen to Lyssa Mike and stay safe🙏🏻❤😊

[@larryfeeks6620]

Take care and take your medications as prescribed. Don't skip pain meds if you are in pain.

[@vicki1120]

Prayes for a speedy recovery!

[@tammymurphy2707]

Mike I’ve had inside rib bruises before and it took weeks to heal and it was very painful - best of luck!

[@janetmccullough7436]

Mike, I’ve broken ribs and bruised ribs… one hurts as bad as the other. It was explained to me that every muscle and tendon in your upper torso is connected and that is why it hurts to breathe etc, and why your neck muscles hurt too. Probably from bracing from the fall. It did take a long time to heal. Take the pain meds. They are always concerned about punctured lungs and harm to the spleen. Take care.

[@liammcgothigan2094]

Hello Mike an lyssa welcome back home glad ur not seriously injurd

[@54maggiemoo]

It makes me sad to see you in pain. When I had my first heart attack, triple bypass, and 2 stents, the hospital gave me a teddy bear to put on my chest to hug. It really helped when I had to cough or move. I was scared to death I would sneeze. I don't think I could have made it through that. Please forget everything and just rest. I sure hope you didn't go to Davids. You really need to rest as much as you can. Lyssa, tie him down if you have to. I'm glad you are feeling better. I also know how it feels to get overheated. It's not fun. Love you guys.

[@daisy7141]

The more you rest, the faster you will heal, allowing you to get back to work. ❤

[@Yvonneb_]

Really hope you heal soon Mike xx Sending gentle hugs x x

[@MelissaMalzahn]

Bruised ribs take longer to heal. I think you need to go get MRI. Try to breath deep, they need to check your neck too. ❤

[@RockerNJ]

Hope you get better soon! Please go easy on those pain meds!

[@beverlymoffitt]

prayers for health mike

[@melvinmarks7831]

Take it easy Mike and heal properly. We all want to see you well again but in time. Do not rush things. Loving your and Lyssa’s adventures 😊 Keep safe.

[@brendastudnicki9334]

I am not surprised at all you were on the water slide after your fall. You are the biggest kid there.

[@AngieMarkley]

Lyssa, Im glad your feeling better.. Mike, with the pain around your neck area, maybe you gave yourself Whiplash, I pray for a quick Recovery.. 🙏😊

[@mariezafonte6473]

Glad you are feeling better Lyssa. Mike please rest and pray you heal quickly. Go back to the hospital if you need to. Praying Lillian is found.

[@debrafelix4419]

Mike it wouldn't hurt to get rechecked just to be safe prayers for you for a speedy recovery 🙏 love you guys ❤

[@Arleen1010]

Continued prayers for you Mike. Feel better. Hi Lyssa 👋.

[@lonelyhitchhikerkent6068]

Get better soon Mike TRY to be easy on him for now LYSSA

[@driftingdreamers5]

🥰🥰🥰

[@karenhernke281]

Mike, I'm praying for you. Like you said each the the pain sets in more. Stay on those pain pills and keep your butt in bed. Lyssa, I'm trying to help you tell him what to do. Lyssa, I'm glad your feeling better. The heat is no joke. Love you guys. Karen ❤🙏👍🏼

[@rebeccalester520]

Them DAMN butterflies will get you every time!!! SMH

[@anibor_wack_a_troll]

I said don’t go chasing butterflies, to the song waterfalls, it will always stick together for me now .

[@RaneyRidge]

So glad nothings broken. And glad your feeling better too lyssa

[@BethS55]

Mike, i can hear in your voice that you did hurt your chest bones. You could've pushed them back atad. Which would cause pain. Plus, bruises inside. Rest up!!

[@danopcola6223]

Glad ya guys got back ok. And glad you got things looked at !!

[@lilystilo710]

Hey Mike when I hurt my back water therapy was great. I went to the lake found a shallow spot and just laid there. It felt so cool and the gentle waves were like a nice massage. Took less than a week for me to walk properly which was great.

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

The reason you’re feeling in your neck is bc you’re “clavicle breathing” right now bc abdominal breathing hurts too bad. You’re using muscles you don’t usually use. This accident wasn’t your brain moving faster then you’re body like the chainsaw/tree accident. It was just an accident. I’m betting they’ll mark the culvert with orange tape or something next time. It’s just one of those things. They’re probably so used to it being there & avoiding it, it’s something they don’t think about.

[@bonniemoore4056]

please Mike, listen to Lyssa and listen to uncle David and do what they tell you to do. I’m sending prayers for you an family ❤️🙏❤️

[@ScottEngland-p8c]

Hey little fella, I know my eyes are bad but you do know that you may not be the spring chicken you use to be. I hope you mend well.

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Keeping You Mike in my prayers 🙏✝️🙏

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Prayers that Rox’s gets her little Dog 🐕 Back 🙏✝️🙏

[@michellesprinkle6417]

MIKE TAKE IT EASY FEEL BETTER LYSSA you must-have nerves of steel ihope you guys all feel better and have a great day ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@barbaramccrady1495]

I slipped and fell last winter and had two ribs broke i didnt think i was ever going to heal i dint like ice is what it was anyway hope u feel better soon for ur family lyssa take good care for kids ❤

[@twinslotaddicts]

Lyssa- you need to immobilize his right arm like nurse Tara did but you can use a scarf or a nice long approximate 10” or so wide piece of fabric. It will help a little with the pain. Muscle tears and bruising doesn’t show on an X-ray and can be extremely painful. The less you do the faster you will start to feel better.

[@AtomicPunx]

Heya Mike, take it easy brother. Take it from someone that has been where you are in the injury sense.. lol After so many years I've learned the more you push it the more it really starts to hurt and it last longer and longer! The only fun part of it is after you heal you get to look back on it and laugh!

[@jerriewyatt905]

X-rays don’t show torn ligaments etc.. nor all fractures show up..MRI is the best diagnostic tool..

[@denisesanders7560]

Please take care of yourself Mike, if you need a second appenion please get it, nothing to fool around with, it could be something break, or worse, not being negative but we don’t want to lose you, or either doe’s your Family and Friends, lifting you up in Prayers love you and your Family ❤❤❤❤

[@charlenegrady8781]

Take care of yourself and please listen to Lyssa. Feel better. We love you. Take care❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸

[@paulvanhouts3365]

Yo Mike, gee you’re a worry! I commented on Dave’s channel that you need to get yourself cushion rings, a bit like Michelin man so you bounce off stuff. Since then I thought you could get a fat man air suit, that would be a laugh but you would bounce. Enough of the jibes, Accidents happen so hope you recover quickly. Those sore ribs are awful so don’t laugh, you hear! Hey lyssa and kids hope you’re all ok. I was also thinking about you exercising your lungs during this time, use a 1/2” diameter tube, or garden hose, cut to a couple of feet long. Grab a bucket filled with water, then drop the hose into the water then blow bubbles for a few minutes a few times a day. It helps your lungs aerate and expand while your breathing will be shallow due to pain. I have had pneumonia a few times and found this helps improve my breathing over time. Not much can be done about the pain though. I got slammed through my motorcycle fairing when about your age and it lasted about 10 days, so mate take care and lyssa you make sure he behaves, lol.

[@driftingdreamers5]

Thanks a lot

[@barbaramccrady1495]

When u were on top of that roof help mel and gary i was praying u wouldnt fall then so easy to get hurt ive known to many that has ❤

[@caryallen62]

Keep the faith y'all. Syd has sightings of Lilian not too far from them. Let's hope 🙏

[@sueswanson6278]

Mick I can tell your in pain, I found out today that I can't fly, going down four steps I found myself flying in the grass my face and chest really hit hard, at 77 I must have strong bones, prayers for you some comfort.

[@dianeharrison9245]

[@barbarahopkins5239]

[@driftingdreamers5]

Sorry to hear that

[@driftingdreamers5]

Sorry to hear that

[@kayparks8382]

Oh thank goodness!!! We will STILL pray for healing. And that your pain subsides. Just be careful until you totally heal. Lyssa, keep a close eye on him. I’m glad y’all had fun. 😊.

[@jeannie5389]

A chiropractor will xray it, may be a rib out of place. I did & I had a broken rib & collapsed lung.

[@janwalls6397]

VAN BURN RIVER VALLEY…. Many here in River Valley will go up to NWA for medical treatment Hopefully your well soon

Hi Mike hope u start to feel better May The Good Lord Bless u May his spirit shine upon u the Good Lord will heal u & I will keep u in my prayers I know & the Lord will heal u peace ☮️ be with always ❤ur subscriber Peter A from SC

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

I worked in the medical field for 22 years. Deep bruising like that doesn’t even make it to the skin level like regular bruising until days later.

[@rbuitendag2650]

Hoping you heal up quickly Mike. Sorry for the accident. If you do feel worse please go back for medical attention. ❤

[@carolynbarnett8313]

Mike make sure you take deep breaths every 2 hours to keep from getting pneumonia. It can happen with chest injuries if you’re not careful because you tense your muscles because you hurt and tend to not breathe deep enough. Take care and feel better soon. Glad you all had a good time in my neck of the woods, the Sipp

[@driftingdreamers5]

Oh wow! Didn't know that 🤔

[@PegAMurphy]

​@@driftingdreamers5 I'm surprised they didn't give you one of the lil handheld breathing apparatus next time y'all are in town you should ask for one 💕take care & relax so you can heal 100%

[@mikeglass4053]

Sending prayers for a speedy recovery

[@tanianigelwade8935]

Please dont wait too long if the pain doesn't get better. Your a great young man. But see another doctor get a mri. Listen to your family or we will come with a cement mixer to sit on your legs. ❤❤❤❤❤XOXO 🙏

[@GrandmaKW]

Hope you don’t develop a cough until you get better.

[@davidcarpenter9737]

You will be sore maybe for a month. Prayers and we'll wishes. I pray that you don't have anything worse. Don't worry about responding.

[@cindylou8454]

Mike, even bruised ribs are EXTREMELY PAINFUL. Get Rest and do the pain management. If it's bruised it will hurt for months. Take it easy!!! Prayers for you, Mike.🙏🙏🙏

[@SCHNEKM483BK]

Relax and if needed the FRAMILY will surely help out. You're lucky to be part of such a fine community.

[@margaretcooke7016]

Hi Mike, so so sorry. I am Praying fir you and bBlessings

[@driftingdreamers5]

Ty very much

[@CarolPoemGiver]

❤This was 2 dreamers down and glad you are both bouncing back. Looks like you both really had a good time in spite of the accidents.Love and prayers sent your way.❤️🙏😘

[@MelissaNY-Reviews]

Mike I’m glad you received positive results but you hit your thoracic of the spine area, possibly whiplash, and it normally doesn’t move. I believe you need a chiropractor to set you spine and nervous system. If you start feeling nauseous go back to the hospital, because it has been a few days. Sending prayers for quick recovery.

[@marperkins2182]

Mike I hope you feel better hope you all had a wonderful time ❤️ God bless you all

[@kateatthegate771]

Oh no poor Mike, hope you're feeling better. ❤

[@shirleywarner8831]

Praying for you to heal. Also praying for Roxanne getting Lillian back

[@margaretcooke7016]

Mike you know your Body. If you feel doubt do not put is off the second opinion is definitely needed. Do not put those feelings on the Back Burner. Please second opinion. Stop talking look after you. Many Blessings

[@junebug9799]

You could have an hairline fracture, also known as a simple fracture, it is a break in a rib that doesn't displace the bone from its original position. Hairline fractures are often single and can occur at the point of impact or in the back of the rib, where it's structurally weakest. They may not be visible on a chest x-ray, but an ultrasound can detect them if localized pain persists. It can hurt like a broken rib and it takes about six weeks to get better. Mike sit down and don’t move!!

[@pennym3036]

If you need to ice it, buy some frozen peas. They work great!

[@joyames9236]

Bruised ribs are much more painful than broken ribs breathing is agony! I got mine water skiing it took a long time to get better! I’ll pray that with rest you improve. Take it easy Mike!❤

[@driftingdreamers5]

Ty

[@MrBodyguard380]

Pain management equals 🟰 opioid party, right?.

[@driftingdreamers5]

That's all they did... Terrible health-care if you ask me. "JUST FILL THEM WITH DOPE!" It's a joke here in the USA 🇺🇸 🙄😒🥺😢🤬

[@arielisraelben-zion4595]

Mike...LISTEN TO LYSSA! Get well soon. Blessings and Shalom Shalom.

[@terrilepine9065]

Glad you went into the doctor Mike. This was 2 dreamers down. Praying for complete healing, Mike listen to Lyssa.

[@helenmorgan1023]

Oh no😢 sorry to hear this news. I’m glad you guy’s are okay. Man Monkey Mike, glad you don’t have your lung punctured. Please take it easy 🫶

[@tammyblake14]

Good news that there's no broken bones 😊

[@glenokla4079]

Mike, my heart breaks for you honey. Please take it easy & rest! Follow doctor's orders!!! I'm praying for you. Lyssa, tie him down if you have to sweetie. You're doing a great job. X's &

[@SunnyJa1088-k3x]

I tore a rib loose years ago painting high up in a corner, thought I was having a heart attack. Took weeks to heal so that may account for all the pain. Bending over & reaching for anything or lifting very much made it feel like I just did it again. So it may be slow going just take it easy & find the positions you can be most comfortable in, I slept sitting up on a lounge chair for several weeks.

[@elainematthews0205]

REGUARDLESS of "feeling betterin 7 days.. (or not)" you NEED to see your PRIMARY DOCTOR ASAP...

[@outdoorstudios2022]

Wow Mike seems to be a trend here, well in Ar, when ite rains it pours, 41.36 raining on them, and David is expirecing the same rain.

[@DianeWilson-q7i]

MICHAEL IM HAPPY YOU DOING OK BUT YOU NEED TO REST ALOT. THINGS HAPPEN YOU ARE LIKE MY SON take care ok.

[@DavidGlunt]

Rib injuries, either several or mild can effect your breathing. The lung under the injury may shut down because of the pain. It's weird how the body works. The muscles in your chest, yes even if you can't see them you have them LOL. They are probably tightening up, which will pull on the muscles around the collar bone and neck. Hope you feel better soon.

[@eddiegardner6192]

Mike I’m so glad you didn’t puncher your lungs. But I would go to Fort Smith to have a second opinion. From the way you are talking and hurting you need to get another checkup.

[@wandal.rodriguez7253]

I was going to say the same thing. But if it doesn't feel better, go back to the doctor Mike take care and everyone help out.

[@lilylilyquist3087]

If you do have to go back for help . Don't go to Babtist Hospital in fort Smith. Go to Mercy hospital in fort smith. Much better Care

[@barbaramccrady1495]

Prayers mike hope u feel better soon i heard from rox hate this for ur family ❤

[@gooby2doobydo725]

…MIKE, PLEASE GET A SECOND OPINION. PLEASE DON’T WAIT. YOU COULD HAVE OTHER INTERNAL INJURIES LIKE YOUR STERNUM OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT DOESN’T SHOW ON X-RAYS. 😢😢

[@thisandthatadventures]

Darn Mike I’m sorry that happened to you. I hope you heal quickly! Wish I lived closer I have a healing wand that would have you healed faster. Prayers for you! 🙏❤️
