    Bad Weekend

    Friday at 3:15 AM we got a call that my brother-in-law was in a bad ATV accident and had been life flighted to St Mary's in Duluth. We hopped on the car and got here by 10:30AM. 200 miles. Found out that he had a broken leg and a bad head injury. They had him in a drug induced coma to let his brain heal. They took him off the drugs yesterday afternoon and weaned him off the resperator today. His vitals all look good but only time will tell. Sory to lay our troubles on you folks but I guess I need to vent. Your thoughts and prayers are apreciated

    Sorry to hear of the accident David. I will remember your brother in law, and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Those ATV's can be a lot of fun, but they can also be dangerous, as you know. I hope he heals quickly, and has a complete recovery. Hopefully the coming days will bring good things to you and yours.

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Sorry

    David -

    Sorry to hear of the accident. Sounds like he is getting good care. Hopefully everything will turn out OK. We will keep your brother-in-law and all of your family in our prayers.

    Sharing a burden, halves it. Or in this case many more times less.

    Updates when you get a chance?

    Regards,
    Ted
