yesterday my brother was in a motorcycle accident. he is in the trauma unit and will remain there for at least the next few days. his skull is fractured in two places and he has a tube draining blood away from his brain. his wrist is broken and his face is broken. he is in a medically induced coma and is woken up every hour to be checked on. its pretty much a big waiting game as far as the brain swelling and surgery goes. theres not much we can do but say our prayers. please keep my family in your thoughts over the next few days.

Oh my, P & PT going out your way and your brothers way.

If it helps any, my brother was riding his motorcycle on the freeway and was struck my a Semi-truck. This was in the late 80's and he DID recover. Not without some leftover issues, and it took some time but the human body is SO resilient and I pray that your brother makes a full recovery.
