news regarding my friend in the accident

8 Sep 2004

Hi everyone!
I wanted to let you all know about my friend who was in the car accident on the M62 the other day.
For those who missed the original, he was on a slip road on the M62 where his car had broken down. The recovery vehicle crashed into them. Hi mum is ok with a few bump, scratches and bruises but he had to be airlifted to the nearest hospital.
He was admitted with 7-9 broken ribs, broken chest and collar bones, fractures in his vertabrae and a blood clot in the front of his brain, suspected lung and organ damage. He had to be sustained on support machines.
Thanks for all those who thought about him and may have uttered a little prayer for him.
<<<Great news>>>
He has started to breathe for himself and the doctors are really pleased as he is started to make a recovery! All his organs are ok and in working order! Small steps at a time.... fingers crossed and all that...... biggrin

I'd like to say a huge thanks to the people who let me talk to them about this and were there for me. kiss

You are a great bunch of people and I thankyou from the bottom of my heart. :kiss:

Dear G. I had no idea it was this bad either! He's very lucky I guess and everyone involved in his rescue and recovery has done an excellent job! It really restores your faith in humanity! We are very lucky in this country to have such dedicated people in the various services that are willing to come to our aid, often at the risk to their own selves.
Hope your friend makes a speedy recovery!
Regards

Well the moral of this tale is when you break down on a motorway hard shoulder or slip road ...get the F*** out of the vehicle and as far away from the road as possible.
Glad to hear he's improving Fem smile

Thank you for the lovely comforting words and your well wishes.
I'm really happy today because my friend has regained consciousnees and is on the path to recovery! He hurts all over so the docs will keep himsedated, but it is a good sign because it means his nervous system works well.

Hi, best wishes from Countess and myself as well.
Good news about the pain, as you say it shows that there's a lot of nerve activity and there's (hopefully) nothing wrong up-top.

The injuries that you listed are not insignificant; I can understand why the medical team are being a little cautious. I wish you all the very best for you and your friend - I hope things start to show signs of improvement.
