so it was a tough 12 hours for my brother and my sister in law as they waited to finally get word on her parents.
but when they did it is better then feared.
her father is already out of the hospital. just a little bit banged up and bruised.
but her mother is on a ventilator, has a broken collar bone and several broken ribs and she will have to wear a halo. I am not sure what that is but I assume its one of those devices that locks your head into place? So she is not out of the woods yet, but it's not as bad as first feared. I mean you hear someone had to get extraticated out of a car and then airlifted 90 miles to trama center, you usually think the worst.
they were on there way back from Hilton Head when a flatbead towtruck got clipped by a tractor trailer and the volkswagon bug on the flatbead managed to come away and that hit their car which then flipped several times.
so seriously scary fucking shit.
so not great news all in all as her mother who is 65 has a long road of recovery ahead of her, but it is not the nitemare scenario we all feared.
thanks all again for kind thoughts and prayers.
