I will be praying for him. Sounds almost identical to an accident my brother inlaw and sister inlaw had. Both in critical condition and neither was expected to live. Some how with all the prayers they both survived. He has brain damage and physical problems, she has multiple physical problems, but they are still with us. Keep the prayers comming. I have been riding cycles for 43 years with a few minor accidents and 2 major ones. Run over by a tractor trailer on the interstate and head on with a jeep. Totaled both bikes, but I got lucky. Now I'm worried about the 3rd time being the charm. I am thinking about getting rid of my bike now too, especially when i see how much driving attitudes have changed. It seems to be a lot more dangerous now than many years ago. Best of wishes for your friend and all the guys who ride. Mark
Yes sorry about that. We have gone from no chance of living to 3 weeks later we are recognizing people and trying to communicate. Chris is at the Madonna Trauma Center in Lincoln Nebraska. He will be there for the next few weeks/monthes depending on how he does. Its looking good so far!!!
This is great news. However, I can't help but wonder if the situation could have been different had he been wearing a full helmet.
Mike, This is the first I've read this. I really don't like coming to this forum much, so much sad news. Madonna is a great rehab facility with a super success rate. He is in good hands up here. Wish him luck from Greg and I.
Chris is home and working on getting his life back together now. Sounds like he is almost normal but cant get the doctor to relaese him back to the work force. Just thought I would update everyone.
I just came across this story-so glad it ended this way. I almost bought a bike this week but didn't. Glad I didn't. I see too many crazy reckless people behind the wheel now.
Just got another update. Chris is with the living but he has the mental capacity of an 8th grader. Always repeating himself over and over. Looks like about a year or so before he is fully functional according to the doctors. He is doing ok he just has to relearn life in general. Keep up the prayers.
Getting better everyday but Chris is not back to work yet. He has been going to work to hang out for awhile but he cant work yet ...He thanks us for your prayers
