7:00 AM - Recieved a call from my brother Brent. Brian, my youngest brother, is in the hospital and in surgery. At about 2 am he had dove off of the rocks at Presque Isle while swimming and hit the rocks. His neck is broken. He must have had someone there with him, or he would likely have drowned as well. He is living and that looks to be the stable thing. He is paralyzed though. The doctors are hoping that they will get him some movement in the shoulders, but have little hope of getting movement back in the hands.
My parents are out of country over in Europe. It is the first time my mom has been out of the country. We have a emergency cell phone number for them, but so far have been unable to reach them. Hopefully because of the time difference and they will get the messages left soon. I did manage to get in touch with Simulana, and let her know. And talking to her a bit helped. (Thank you Love)
I fly out to San Francisco tomorrow to teach a class, and won't be able to go or do anything before then. I'm at this point unsure if I will be able to fly back to Michigan after the class or not. I am unsure of a lot of things at this point. But I am sure that I am ready for these surprises to stop.
Please. Stop.
brian,
