monday morning i got a dreadful phone call about a friend, who i just saw and talked to sunday, the day before, got into an accident. some idiot ran the red light, clipped his bike and his helmet came off when he hit the pavement. my brother and i went to wilmington tuesday afternoon after work to go check him out and give support to his family. his dad was torn up like you wouldnt believe, every 10minutes talking about him he would cry just thinking about his son, eyes blood shot red with bags under them.

got his 'report' tuesday while speaking with the family that progress was going better than expected, all his injuries, punctured lung, spleen, internal/external bleeding was healing and no more bleeding. they put him in an induced coma so that his body would only focus on repairing itself. so i leave there feeling better than before having hope, but still bad because to see this guys father torn up the way he was.

well last night (wednesday) about 9:30 i get another 'report' that he may not make it because swelling has occured. right now i'm scared as hell to ask anyone how is he doing or what's going on for fear to hear that he has died or his condition is still declining. i havent heard anything else, so i imagine he is still alive, but please, keep him in your thoughts.

even as stressed as i am about the situation, i can't begin to imagine what his family is going through.

Got him in my thoughts man. Best of luck to him and his family.

yea i know..but i dont wana hear, "he's gone"

[Brett]

He and his family will be in my thoughts man.

Is the swelling in his brain? If so they can usually correct that and release the pressure

[Sammich]

i dont know..i didnt even wanna get into details last night i just went to my car and rode out. sh*ts depressing..he's only 25 man..fukin 25, and its about to go down the drain cuz some idiot wants to run a red light

[Brett]

I know man, and I feel for ya bro. Its hard to understand why ones we care for are made to suffer from no fault of thier own. Thats one of the reasons I got rid of my bike, Cause I knew everytime I rolled out on it, Leisa was home and wondering if I would make it back home, she always worried when I was on it, Not cause of how I rode but how people around me drove.

[Sammich]

yea, i guess i need to take that into account now. i wanted a bike, but now its making me think twice. i have a wife, its not just me now.

thanks big homie

[Brett]

Yeah you need to look at not just what we want, but god forbid something happened whos life around you it will destroy.

Im really sorry though about your boy man, nothing worse than seeing someone you care about in this situation and there is nothing you can do to help, besides just be there..... and trust me, That makes a big difference to him just knowing you are there. Even if he is in a coma still, he knows you are there. And being there for his family like you have is a big help to them.

[Motivation]

Sorry to hear that man. I hope everything works out for him. I know this don't always sound true, but things really do happen for a reason. Even if we don't know what that reason is or we don't want to see the reason. Just remember, be there for the family. Even though they might take it rough, it also make it easier talking to someone that is a good friend of his that is outside the family... Prayers and thoughts with him. What was his name if you don't mind me asking?


P.S. I know this don't help, but same thing happened to a friend of mine. Threw him into a tree, DR. said he wouldn't make it because of severe brain damage... couple weeks later he came out fine.

[MistaCee]

Hope everything goes well.

this statement here makes me think about why he's not gona make it too..i mean..even though he's in an induced coma, when ur asleep, you just know that somebody is over u period, thats why we wake up. so i'm like, the docs are restricting his visits to family only to keep down on the germs and the father said because of the germs he didnt wana go in so much to contaminate the room, but at the same time, he knows/senses that someone is there. when u know someone is there, it makes u wana stay alive. i dont know how frequent or how many of the fam went into the STICU room with him, but i bet with more visits to his beside he'd prolly do better.

his name is ryan...freaking craziness about that, another friend of mine who has a friend in philly said somebody else named ryan that he knows was found in philly in his car dead. no signs of homicide or suicide, prolly just 'natural causes', HOPEFULLY..and my name is bryan..so its like..is something about to happen to me next

makes me paranoid

[blackboi50]

yea i know..but i dont wana hear, "he's gone"

man your gonna have to find out one way or another!!!! better if u just call so u know!!!!......i hope and pray that he will be fine and makes a full recovery!!!!....1

[Sammich]

thanks man

[Motivation]

Well, keep us posted man so we all know. It's a scary feeling even for those that aren't family. It brings people that know him into the scary realization that we are not invincible in this life. Makes you appreciate life more and the things that you do have, instead of thinking of the things you don't have and wish you had...

[collins]

pbs, when/where did this happen?

really sorry to hear, man. it sucks to lose somebody like that.

[Leisa]

This is why I don't want any of my friends to ride. It's the people on the road that I don't trust

^^this is the only update i have, sorry..i mean 'no news is good news' especially in this situation. i havent heard that he has passed, so, as long as he makes it they will transport him to Duke today or tomorrow and i guess operate..get rid of the swelling and hemorroging(sp?).

[Leisa]

yes I agree, no news is good news...

[Sammich]

thanks leisa for ur support

I hope he pulls through. Keep us updated

This is why I don't want any of my friends to ride. It's the people on the road that I don't trust

yea thats why i'm not getting a bike anymore, like brett said..theres somebody at home that will wonder if u will make it back home or not, so its not worth it

[Leisa]

thanks leisa for ur support



yea thats why i'm not getting a bike anymore, like brett said..theres somebody at home that will wonder if u will make it back home or not, so its not worth it

yep, it is true... I see these dumbasses all the time going 100+ down Ga 400.. standing on their seat, doing absolutely crazy stuff... and I think to myself.. Yep, this is why Im glad Brett sold his bike... I was always worried he wouldnt make it home

[Sammich]

but like my friend..some of the times its not the rider..its the pple around him

[Leisa]

I agree on that too... People just damn cant drive!

[Sammich]

I agree on that too... People just damn cant drive!

indeed

[Sammich]

just an update for those with questions....

the didnt get to transfer him, but the swelling did go down, his blood count is stable and they are still trying to transfer him. i'm more confident now that he will make it. but i'm still praying like a motha

[Alan®]

stay up man he'll be ok
