Hi
Only 2 days ago I was involved in a serious RTC, that I still do not remember because I suffered a fractured skull, that put me in the hospital overnight, I was unconscious for 20 minutes, with my youngest brother Eric aged 32, 2 years younger than me, that has left him fighting for his life in a non induced coma in Intensive care.
From what I have been told by a close friend who witnessed the accident 2 days ago told me that I was crossing the road when a car came out from no where and she, my brother and identical twin sons screamed "Andy/Dad look out!", then my brother jumped into the path of the car to push me out of the way and that was when I and my brother got knocked down. My brother took the full impact of the car.
Eric suffered a fractured skull, swelling of the brain, bleeding on and inside the brain, 2 fractures of the neck, higher and lower back. The brain injuries needed emergency surgery. Doctors have told me that if he does survive that there is a possibility of brain damage and being paralyzed.
At least my identical twin sons also understand that their uncle is in a deep sleep from hurting his head and can't wake up but will do when he is ready to, just like their youngest brother as well.
My youngest brother and son are in the same hospital and this makes it easier for me to visit them both.
This is all I need on top of my youngest son Zac aged 5 still in a coma for just over 3 months now, Thursday just gone, after a freak accident at a swimming pool, also suffering brain injuries.
Will keep you updated as soon as there is any change in either Eric's or Zac's condition.
Andy
