    thanks for the update Joe.. Hopefully i can go back down there and see the homie later on this week...

    I got a text from his GF this morning. She said ," Just saw Widdy! 1st time since the 2nd surgery and he's doing great! Everytime I say his name he looks right at me!"

    Good news. Everyone keep praying.

    We are all excited to hear he is recovering quickly. Does the family need anything? I know it is rough staying in a hospital for days on end so PM me if they do. The staff and volunteers at Import Showdown are here to help him through in anyway we can!

    UPDATE..

    I spoke to his sister via text a few minutes ago she said she was working on setting up a paypal account to help out Widdy.. As soon as she gives me the email adress I'll post it up. She wanted me to let every one know that it means a lot to them that people are so supportive. Thanks


    Sadly enough they were not able to save his arm... So please pray for him..

    Humans are capable of truly astounding recovery and overcomming obsticals that most would think impossible. So may athletes and others have overcome injuries of this magnitude and went on to still compete and lead perfectly happy lives. There will be much adjusting and struggle for him and his family, but lets keep him in our prayers and support them like they were our own. God willing, they will pull through this whatever the obstical and rise above it.

    UPDATE!!!!!UPDATE!!!!UPDATE!!!!

    he's doing better now... again if no mentioned before.. he's off life support, breathing on his own. he moving hand and fingers. holding his girls hand. responsive to command. i feel for Widdy more than anything in the world and he's the best friend anyone can have. he gonna pull through just as the doctors have said. but keep this amazing individual in your prayers and Godspeed!

    We Love You Widdy......

    Chris was released last nite. he came to my job today, i was almost in tears as the courage this man has for being able to go on... these two men have the strongest hearts and souls ive ever met. if you met them you's understand. Chris can walk around, if there's anything you can feel for Chris too, please, Please dont forget about him either.. both are the kindest guys ive known..

    I don't know Widdy and i might have seen him before? I love how the whole I.A family is pulling together again for another two of our soldiers that's what life is all about. Widdy and Chris let god hands be upon your shoulders everyday of your life.

    I Agree with Burke what we saw Sunday we will never forget. Chris was a miracle and god was watching both of them. I'm still in shock and every time I think about it I want to breakdown.it was truely unbelievable..we all felt helpless.

    Ive never met either of them but I wish both of them the best and speedy recovery. You people asking what happened should really chill out and wait till both of them are ok with telling the story themselves. Im sure they were not doing anything any worse than we all have done or even still do, something just happened to go wrong that day. Even after the physical injuries heal, things will still be there mentally and thats when they will probably need the most help. They are very lucky to have friends and family like they do. I have had friends and family have similar things happen and people being there for them is the best thing they could ever have.

    He is in my prayers.

    Heads up if you are sending him donations. do so as a gift, and list it as nothing else or else the paypal fees kick in and take away. let's help him receive everything we can send.

    you can send money via paypal as a "gift" with no fees. that is what I would consider it.
