Young mom seriously hurt falling off horse is overcome with emotion receiving surprise gifts from a Secret Santa
Published at | Updated at
The EastIdahoNews.com team is busy helping a local Secret Santa give $1 million to deserving people in eastern Idaho this holiday season. This is the ninth year the Secret Santa is blessing people in our community and every day, from now until the end of the year, we will post videos of the recipients being surprised with these life-changing gifts.
Kailey and Cameron have two young children. On Oct. 7, they were riding horses with their extended family when Kailey fell off her horse.
She hit her head on a large post and was rendered unconscious for several seconds. When she came to, she couldn’t move without significant pain in her back. An ambulance was called and she was rushed to the hospital where doctors found she had three fractured vertebrae, a small brain bleed, a concussion and a fractured foot.
Kailey was admitted to the ICU overnight and then moved to another floor the next day. She has since been released to go home but will be in a back brace, walking boot and have significant lifting restrictions for several months while she recovers.
Caring for her children will be difficult as she isn’t supposed to lift even her youngest child. She remains in a lot of pain and will likely require a lot of physical therapy to recover fully.
Secret Santa asked the East Idaho News elves if we could pay Kailey a visit and surprise her with an early Christmas gift. Watch the video in the player above!
