To all you who warmed our hearts with your well wishes, a huge thanks.
I just got off the phone with my mother-in-law and she reports that the drs. plan to move our nephew to a regular room today. His leg is immobilized (can't cast it because it is too high and involved), and a steel rod now is pinioning the remainder of the shattered thigh bone together so it can heal (no more basketball team for him). Tests still must be done as there may be bits of bone still 'floating'. His left eye socket may be severely cracked or shattered: the drs. can't tell yet as the swelling is still so intense, but his vision and eyeball itself is intact and unimpaired (thank the goddess). There's a CAT scan scheduled for later today. He is in extreme pain and being very stubborn about taking the morphine to dull it (a family trait, stubborness [img]smile.gif[/img] ).
The other driver was released yesterday from the hospital with minor injuries. He caused the accident when he ran a stop sign on County Line Rd. gonig ninety-to-nothing (Stan broadsided him as there was no other alternative) and *received a ticket for running a stop sign*. I must say, that slap on the wrist really pisses me off, but since Stan will be ok, I don't really care.
So, I thank you for all your support and prayers. You have absolutely no idea how much they meant.
Humbly and thankfully yours.............
