My Brother...

[riyirowe]

So...I talked to my mom this morning (btw, she loved her teapot...*grins*), and found out some more about my brother. The car rolled twice in the air, and then at least four time on the ground. He was thrown around forty feet, like I said. His injuries consist of: three broken ribs, three fractured vertebrae (from what I understand, they are more like...squashed...with little fractures running horizontally along them), a punctured (not bruised) lung, a concussion, and a large gash that runs along his head. They have him in a brace, because if he turns or twists or whatever, it would move his vertebrae out of place. He also has been having short term memory problems, which are most likely associated with the concussion, and will probably go away. He was actually seizing when the guy following him got to him...it is kinda scary.

But yeah...the car is totalled...not feasibly salvageable. I guess that what happened is he was out around Highway 55 coming back from a jobsite (he does masonry/stonework type stuff) and he hit a soft patch of gravel. He was driving in front of another guy he works with, who called him and told him about the patch, but Aaron (My brother, not to be confused with the other Aaron, my ex. Roomate that is.) didn't even get a chance to respond though, because right as the guy said that he saw a cloud of dust and then the car in the air...

So yeah...he is very, very lucky. So...yeah...if you pray, please keep him in your prayers.
