Been a helluva weekend. My brother in law,(21) who recently got back from Iraq was in a motorcycle accident early Saturday morning. He lost control and hit a road sign and was partially decapitated. He made it to the hospital alive (not sure how). But they were able to reattach his muscles in his neck (he was cut down to the spinal cord). They put him in the Ct scan and determined he has a broken neck, fractured skull, broken eye socket, broken ribs, broken knee and leg. He is currently breathing through a ventilator. I have known this kid since he was 15. And have been praying my ass off but he is still not out of the woods. Please my fellow BOTLs, if you are a religious , God fearing person please pray for my family. Thank you.

Thanks again everyone. I got to see Billy today and he was off the ventilator and able to speak. Doctors said that he was 75% decapitated. It's a miracle he's alive. I'm still in shock. But for now it seems the the operation was successful. He has another one tomorrow on his leg to insert a plate. He told me his nieghbor who are friends for years (and is only 15) saved his life. After prying himself off of the road sign billy couldn't lift up his head and was gushing blood. Daniel put pressure on his neck and they were able to call 911. Billy said he remembered hearing the EMTs calling time of death...but he Still made it. I'm still in shock.
