A mother’s nightmare: two sons, two lost limbs - The Boston Globe »

Liz Norden, a mother of five, had just finished hauling groceries into her Wakefield home Monday afternoon when her cellphone rang. “Ma, I’m hurt real bad,” said her 31-year-old son. He was in an ambulance, he told her, being rushed rushing him to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. It was her second boy, who had gone with his older brother to watch a friend run in the Boston Marathon. Within the next two hours, amid frantic phone calls and a panicked drive into Boston, Norden pieced together the horrific truth that will forever change her two sons’ lives — and her own. Each of the brothers lost a leg, from the knee down. One was brought to Beth Israel Deaconess, while the other was at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Source Main page (current trends)
