Been MIA for a couple days
Sorry guys for missing Gruuls and SSC last night. I been hanging out at the hospital the last couple nights where my nephew has been.
His name is Nicholas, he's a 17yr old kid who has a bright future ahead of him still (we hope). He was out with a couple of his friends on Friday night and they were all in the same car and being dumb kids they started daring each other to do even dumber stuff. My nephew thought he could pull off some "Jackass" type of trick. It didnt work. Apparently there is this thing where they open the door of a moving car and touch thier feet to the ground? OH MY GOD!!! thats insane!! 25-30mph is pretty darn fast. It obviously didn't work how he thought it would, it rarely does for teenagers, they are missing that little voice in their head all to often that says "wait ....this could hurt or kill me".
So, not to drag that out any further, he is the Hospital in a coma, with 2 brain bleeds and a swelling brain. They induced him into a coma. They said the pressure is starting to drop and that they may start to try and pull him out of the coma on Tuesday. Thats when we will find out if he has any brain damage, or other damage from the injury. He has a large family that has been thrown into chaos once again, since it was only 18 months ago that his mother passed away from cancer. I think my brother-in-law is gonna snap from the stress, he has 2 other children, ages 12 and 15.
This is a kid who 3 days ago was filling out college apps. Makes me sad.
So, I don't how many of you are religious types.....but I'll take all the prayers and thoughts from anyone that he recovers from this 100%.
Sorry about the long story, I'm more the burly, wont cry if I loose a finger kinda guy, so typing this out helped abit, and I was comfortable sharing this with you guys. So...thanks.
