Just an update, we just got back from the hospital. He is very uncomfortable, but the surgery to reconstruct his elbow went well. He had to have plates and screws put in to reconstruct the extensive damage, but the surgeon told my Mom and his wife that he felt that my brother could play sports again, etc. They double checked to make sure the surgeon realized about his back and he said yes, he still felt he would play sports again!!! They did however, find out that he has a fractured pelvis on his list of injuries. They hope to move him to a rehab facility soon!!!
I dont think I will ever get that initial pain of seeing my brother in ICU out of my head, and I swear, even though I wasnt there, I can visualize clearly what happened to him and it makes me physically sick to think of. However, I am so ecstatic that things are turning out as well as they are. He's got a lot of hard work ahead of him and it's just amazing he's alive. I guess you never know. I never realized how much I loved my brother until I got the phone call last Friday. But, I can tell you that I will now never forget!!!!
I'll keep you posted!! Thank you for your continued prayers!!!
