Title: My very best friend was in an accident
Post by: LowCrawler on December 19, 2004, 09:50:23 AM: My pal james, my best friend since 2nd grade or so, was in a car accident last night. Someone fell asleep at the wheel, hit a truck, and sent that truck into James' van. The driver of the truck was killed. James and his mother are in separate hospitals about 90 minutes away from each other. James' hands were crushed very badly, and his liver is possibly damaged, while his mother's scalp was torn back, and her legs lacerated quite badly.
They are both alive, and are going to make it, but they are very badly injured and in very much pain.

Please keep them in your prayers

-Jimmy

Post by: LowCrawler on December 19, 2004, 08:05:12 PM: just got back from my stuff today, went to hospital to visit James, he was fine, talking, joking, etc... just a little slow as he was fighting the drowsyness.

James is home now, hes fine but asleep, however his mother is much worse off. She suffered bone deep cuts on her left leg, and chipped her femur IIRC. They had to put her scalp back in place with staples, and her legs are swollen to the point where she wont be able to walk for a few days. If all goes well, she will be home by christmas.

They are both going to be fine, eventually... and thank God i passed up the invite on that trip... things could have been quite different, both James and I in the backseat, most likely unbuckled....

James is still not aware of the fatality and he will probably be very upset when he hears about it. Please continue to pray for them both.

Post by: EmperorPenguin on December 19, 2004, 11:52:14 PM: I'm glad to hear that they're improving too, Low. Sorry I didn't know what was going on earlier today, I've had little time for forums and IRC these past few days.

It's good that they'll be back together for Christmas, though it will probably be a little more sombre this year.
