Family tragedy.........HappyDad (page 7)

This is all just too sad. What a terrible ordeal for you all to be going through! I can certainly understand why you feel as you do about the possible outcome for a previously bright and active little boy.

All I can say is that I wish you all the strength to get through this and to draw closer together with all that has already happened. Keep us posted when you can, and be assured of our love and prayers on your family's behalf.

hugs,

So sorry you and your family are going through this.

Thank you all so very much. Your concern is really helping me stay collected.

Here is the latest as of noon.

Austin was operated on last night to repair some of the skull fracture. They put a steel rod in the skull for some reason I'm not sure of. His cheek bones are also fractured and one eye is also lacerated. The Dr.'s gave neurological tests this morning but cannot get any response from him. They are now reviewing the spinal x-rays taken in Sebring and plan on doing some type of spinal tests to see if there is response to these. He is on total life support since he cannot breathe on his own.

They told s-i-l this morning that if the spinal tests are negative, then there is permanent brain damage. A decision may have to be made to remove Austin from life support.

The mother went into cardiac arrest last night but was doing ok this morning. Dr.'s say that she will need surgery to repair some of her leg damage. The paralysis is not permanent. Mostly from the initial shock.

My two nephews are on their way to Tampa from NC now to see Ron and then on to Sebring to get Ron's truck since he flew on the helicopter with Austin.

Thanks a million,
