My 20 YO son was on his way to work at SUNY Brockport last Friday morning and got t-boned directly in the driver side door by a van going ~ 55 mph. He was facing west making a left hard turn from a side street onto a southbound lane, and didn't see the northbound van. The car is considerably narrower in places from the impact. They cut the top off the car to extricate him. He was conscious at first, but went unconscious for quite a while during the extrication. He woke up when the top came off. He's got multiple pelvic fractures and a small spinal fracture. He has some minor bumps, bruises, scrapes, etc., but thank God, he looks remarkably good considering the impact. The docs discussed possible surgery most of the day, but after reviewing all the test info and x-rays, they decided it wasn't worth the risk to the spinal column. He's home now and doing remarkably well considering. He'll be doing the "Curly Shuffle" for a couple of weeks, but he should have as close to a full recovery as possible.
I'm usually happiest when I see my kids laughing and having fun.....Friday, seeing him alive was more than sufficient. Hug 'em if you got 'em.....
