Well some of you know that I'm quite the skeptic when it comes to religion. That's why I think I need all the help I can get. Well after being home only 4 days we were driving back from the lake at around midnight last night when my brother fell out of the back of the truck and the boat trailer ran over his head. He was rushed to ORMC and I have been sitting in the ICU waiting for an update alone. I can't contact any family. So far aside from a large laseration on his head the doctor says he has bleeding in his brain and fractured disrupted spinal column. I've been waiting several hours for the specialist neurosurgeoun to give his diagnosis. I am really worried and not being a very religious person I figure I could take all the help I could get. Please keep my brother Jeff in your thoughts and prayers. Thank You for the support.

Oh man Chad, so sorry to hear. Trust me, all your Chicago brothers and my family will be praying for him and your family. Keep us all in the loop and let me know if we can do anything.

Here's an update.

I spoke with the neurosurgeon and he said the bleeding stopped and there is no broken bones. There is however a fractured bone in the area that connects the neck to the head. He will be wearing a neck brace and back support for about 6 weeks minimum but the doc thinks he will be out after about 3 days.
Ooh I feel a lot less stressed now. He was banged up and road rashed pretty bad.
Thanx for all the support.
