A mom is facing a long road to recovery after she was crushed by a tree while out on a hike with her family in Idaho earlier this week. Her family is crediting her 5-year-old son with saving her life after the boy ran and called for help immediately after the accident.Natalie Franks was out hiking with her family in Ketchum, Idaho, on the morning of July 29. Her husband Andy and the younger son turned back as she and her son Colton continued on.
He ran, shouting to get anyone's attention, and was able to flag down a couple out on a hike, who then called 911. When they got to the hospital, they realized the extent of Natalie's injuries. She had a collapsed lung, a dislocated hip and knee and a severed artery; in the days since surgery to repair the artery, doctors found she also had a broken shoulder blade, nine broken ribs, three broken vertebrae, a broken hip, a fully torn ACL and PCL and more.
