Sarah Palin called her husband Todd "tough" after he was seriously injured in a snowmobile accident.

She wasn't kidding: a source tells PEOPLE that Todd's injuries were so extensive they required six hours of surgery overnight after the crash.

I haven’t seen any information on details. Hopefully not the dreaded barbed wire fence.

I wouldn’t doubt that at all! I just hope he recovers from them. :)

Where did you hear that? I know that would be a Major Concern, But Sarah didn't say anything about a Serous Head or Spinal Injury in her Facebook Post.

Several Broken Ribs, Broken Collarbone, and a Collapsed Lung.

Bad stuff on it's own, but I haven't heard that one. I pray that isn't the case.

My wife saw on FB (I think) that it was ribs, collapsed lung, broken shoulder, clavacle, etc. Six hours probably isn’t all that long with that much going on. Hopefully Todd can recover quickly with no lasting issues.

I was in for 10+ hours just for a sinus surgery. (Afterwards though it FELT like I had been hit in the head with a snowmobile!)

Thank You for your post and info 21twelve, that helps :)

10 Hours for sinus surgery? Yikes! I am sure Todd will be feeling this for a while, no matter what.

A summary of his injuries from Sarah Palin's Facebook page:
Todd Palin is in intensive care at an Alaskan hospital with injuries including multiple broken and fractured ribs, broken shoulder blade, broken clavicle, knee/leg injuries; and a collapsed lung. He is presently back in surgery to repair multiple fractures. Thank you for your prayers for a speedy recovery. We, as his wife and children, appreciate your respect for our privacy during this time. Knowing Todd, once he's cognizant, he'll probably ask docs to duct tape him up and he'll call it good. He's tough.

A link to a FB page on it (open to anyone I think).

Says he has leg and knee injuries TOO. Oh man. Those were listed last, so hopefully not too serious.

I wonder if getting hurt on a snowmobile when it’s really cold is better than on a motorcycle when it’s really warm?

Reminds me of the scene in the Clint Eastwood movie “Unforgiven” when the deputies are having a stupid argument on if they would rather be shot in the cold or in the heat!

Ping to the Todd Palin is a Tough Hunk! ping list.

KC, I gotta disagree with you about hospitals. I went three times to hospitals and came home with three wonderful blessings. If I hadn’t gone the first time, I would have died and the blessing, aka Lion’s Daughter, would have also.

Modern snowmobiles have evolved a lot from the ones we had 40 or 50 years ago. They are a whole lot faster and more powerful. I know Todd is extremely skilled but speed and power even in competent hands can still be very dangerous. My wife and I pray for his quick recovery.

It isn’t the speed and power, it’s the sudden stop! (8^P)
