The Accident

Hey all. 

I started to tell you all about 

my life the past week, going into detail,

but its just way to much.

Other than to say, last Friday I 

went to NC with my sis in law and 

6:15am on Sat. I got a call, 

my middle grandson was in a horrible

wreck. I was at Vanderbilt hospital 

where DJ was life flighted in five hours.

It's a lot so I am not going into

it all.

But pics can help tell the story.

This is when I first saw him.

Temp surgery on his head.

He was thrown from a small pickup 

truck at over 80 miles an hour.

His scalp was ripped from above the 

eyes to almost the back of his head. 

This pic was the first day.

On Wed. the bandage was removed.

His right leg as hanging open.

A seven shape cut into it and cut

all the way to the bone.

His C2 vertebrate was fractured and had

to be fused to C3.

C7 was crushed and required about

8 screws and rods to repair that.

We are still dealing with swelling of

the spine. He has moved in all limbs,

the left arm is bandaged due to a fracture

near the wrist and movement is not as

much. We have to wait for all the swelling

to go down to see if any movement was 

affected. 

Pain was horrible but now it seems like

they have hit on the right kind of 

doses to help with the worst of 

that. 

Each day he has made a lot of improvement

and although they seem like 

small steps, they are a step closer to 

going home. 

I ask that you pray, send good thoughts and

vibes, and if you could it would be 

awesome if any of you that could to 

send him a card.
