Good Wishes/Prayers Needed - Update #2

[MosMom]

My little brother was in a car accident last night and was lifelined over here to Indy (they live in rural Illinois). He has a broken neck (can move his legs and arms though), bleeding on his brain, broken arm, broken hand, bruised lungs, and I guess multiple cuts.

He is 16 years old and was in a truck with 4 cheerleaders. He was not driving but they were *all* DRUNK!! I guess I shouldn't be shocked but I am. I'm so disappointed in him. I told my dad to tell him that when his neck heals I'm going to wring it.

I can only hope he will learn a lesson from this. He will be pretty mad when he realizes no football next season. So, he has lost football (which he adores) and will have a long road of recovery ahead. Big consequences!

When DH gets home we're going to drop the kids off with my neighbor and head over there to visit.

Overall, he will be okay so the good wishes/prayers should probably go to one of his friends. She is completely unresponsive and they aren't even sure at this point if she will live.

PD and good thoughts for your brother's recovery. It is so hard to see people we love hurting, especially when you are so darn mad at them. We all think we are invincible at that age. You're right, he will have learned a valuable lesson.

Wow, I hope they are all ok. Why do kids have to learn things the hard way? Hang in there.

So sad. Hoping he does well, and the others injured too. So senseless. Good wishes and prayers.

Thanks all. We just got back from visiting with him before he went in for surgery. He is currently in surgery so they can fuse 3 of his vertebrae together with metal plates.

No seatbelts & he was ejected from the truck. He is so lucky. He was ejected 75 feet. The corn field was soft and muddy from the rains we've had which helped. Unfortunately, the other girl has not changed condition much.

It was so good to see him. My other brother told him that he would sneak him in some porn and that made him chuckle a little bit. Boys! I told him we love him and he mumbled that he loves us too so that was good to hear.

One lapse in judgement and such horrible consequences.. Any updates on the young lady who was not responsive?
