update on my brother

 He is holding his own. They had to put in a trach on Weds. because he is still on the vent.He has had surgery on his leg and one arm,wrist. He has a feeding tube and they are still keeping him on very heavy sedation. Some of his bones were broken multiple times. The eight broken ribs seem to be the reason he is not able to breathe on his own.
I think this weekend they are going to try to start weaning him off some of the meds and the vent. He is going to really have a long recovery.
I had to come home but may go back in a week or two. He is still in the neuro-trama unit but they think he has no brain injury. When he wakes up they will know for sure but all the CT's were good. His helmet saved his life. If you know anyone who rides a bike without one please beg them to wear one.He has facial injuries and was knocked out but no brain bleeds. His helmet was messed up so it would have been fatal without it.
Keep him and his family in prayer. He is a hospital about 75 miles from home so its even harder on his wife.

still praying for your brother......i know what you mean ab out the helmet...i hate wearing one but i do because of the difference it makes if you wreck....
