As most already know, my sister in laws mother and father were in a terrible car accident on Friday. Her mother had to be extricated from the car and airlifted to a trauma center. Her dad fared better and was released from the hospital hours later.
Yesterday we all received word that she had several broken bones, some pretty bad damage to her spine, and was going to have a long road of recovery ahead of her, but she was expected to recover and not have any permanent injuries.
This morning the immediate family received word from the father that his children and aunts and uncles should all get down to NC as soon as possible. As she had just taken a turn for the worst.
She suffered a massive stroke early this morning due to the injuries received. The dad would not reveal anything more than that till the family started to arrive down there.
My brother just arrived there hours behind his wife. He called me an hour ago and told me that she is brain dead.
They are keeping her on life support till they can donate her liver and kidneys.
Just cant believe it. I am so sad for my sis. She was very close to her mom. Its just horrible.
