From the beginning

So, I think I have finally figured out this blog thing. We'll see...

A friend said this would be a good idea so that anyone that wants info about will can get the latest on this site. I think it's a great idea.

Will, our 23 year old son was hit by a car while riding his moped to work. That was Thursday morning. I got the call that afternoon by a close friend of his, who was called by the trauma center. Will sustained a broken humerous,(upper arm), a fractured scapula, 2 fractured vertebrae in his middle back, and 2 in his neck, and a severely lacerated ear. He remembers nothing after stopping at a red light at an intersection. He woke up in the ambulance. I flew to Ca the next morning and Bill and the kids drove down on Saturday. Will is doing pretty good, considering. He is awake and alert and sometimes even finding humor in his situation. That's so like him. Right now he is undergoing surgery to fuse the 2 vert in his back. The 2 in his neck are ok and won't be treated. He will have surgery on his arm Tuesday. But I'll let you know about that then...
Meanwhile, we sure appreciate all the prayers and love from our dear friends and family. You are the best. More later.

  1. Amy,

    If he can see the humor that is a wonderful thing! I know your mother's heart is aching to see him like this but I know that our God is in the middle of this situation and He will sustain you through it.

    Love in Him, Lee Meyers
