My Brother

My brother from Charleston, SC was hit by a car while riding his bike last Wednesday night. My parents didn't call me until yesterday morning because they knew I would fall to pieces. My brother is alive (thank God) and in the ICU at the MUSC currently in serious condition. His skull is broken in several places and he has minor bleeding in his brain, but there has been no swelling of his brain. His nose, several ribs, two vertabrae, and his pelvis are broken and a steel rod has been inserted in his right knee. They removed his breathing tube last night and he was able to breathe on his own with help from an oxygen mask. I can't get to Charleston to see him until next weekend and I feel helpless. My parents told him 'I love you' for me and said he appeared to understand.

If you believe in prayer please say one for my brother. If you don't pray please keep him in your thoughts. Thank you all.

Sandra

I spoke with my Mom after posting the thread and they may have to reinsert the breathing tube. They had to insert tubes in his nose to feed him and she told me they have a tube draining the blood from his brain. These procedures may be normal, but they scare the hell out of me. If I don't hear something positive soon, someone from Charleston may have to come pick me up and get me there as I'll be too upset to drive.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and good thoughts. There are good people here and I'm lucky to enjoy your extraordinary personalities.

BlackAdder he wasn't wearing a helmet, but it's hard to tell someone who drinks what to do. Despite his faults I love him with all my heart. A helmet, I believe, most certainly would've helped. I want him to pull through with all of his faculties intact so I can be mad at him. Does that make any sense? cry
