Ron's Injuries -



The injuries:
-  two broken toes (left foot)
-  stitches in left toe
-  fractured tibia
-  fracture in left knee
-  left hip dislocation (possible hip replacement)
-  left forearm multiple fractures (reconstructive surgery was Tues. 7/29 on arm and hip eight hours)
-  pelvis, multiple fractures (reconstructive surgery was Thurs. 7/31 about eight hours)
-  hand fractures, including a crushed bone in hand and fractured finger (in surgery today Mon. 8/04)
-  nose fracture (same surgery today 8/04)
-  stitches in left eye lid area
-  muscle swelling over much of his body
     - due to high impact he has fasciotomies on both arms and left leg, these will need plastic surgery        /skin grafts

The positives:
-  breathing on his own
-  brain activity, responds to simple commands such as squeezing fingers, wiggling toes and gives  a      thumbs up! He responds to my uncle Kem and my brother Jim's voice by lifting an eyebrow
-  no internal injuries up to this point, all organs seem to be functioning normal
-  no noticeable brain damage as far as we can tell, we will know more when he wakes up
-  we feel prayers and support from our friends and loved ones
