Day 775 - Jul 13, 2010

I can't believe I am going to do this, but I am going to skip again. My nephew, Scott, was in a severe car accident today and I have been my sister's point of contact all evening/night as I know the most about brain trauma.

Yes, my nephew has a TBI. For a while there, we were very concerned as he had total amnesia, but he is slowly coming around. He does have a mild TBI though and they will need to do cognitive testing down the road to see about any potential brain damage.

He also has a broken collar bone, 3 broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a contusion on his spine and they think his pelvis is broken too. This is all they have found so far and hopefully that ends up being it.

So anyway, we are fine, but if you could keep Scotty in your thoughts tonight that would be great! He's hurting pretty bad and I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
