Over the past few days, this is the succession of texts I've gotten:
[Former teammate] got in a motorcycle accident and he's in the icu now.
He has a crushed rib cage. Surprisingly the accident wasn't his fault.
[He's] got a few infections and he's still on all the machines, but he says as of now things are looking up.
They considered taking him off the machines last night but decided to let things heal a bit more.
They took [him] to UofM for a lung transplant sunday.
I haven't seen this kid in probably 4 years, and he is--besides being mildly insane--one of the nicest people with whom I've had the pleasure of being a teammate.
It's crazy to realize someone I only really spent time with for 2 years can affect my thoughts 4 years later.
Fingers crossed.
