Chad's 16-year-old brother Evan was in a relatively serious accident this morning on a country road. His truck went down a 15-foot embankment, rolled, and caught on fire. Luckily, a farmer was nearby to break the windshield and help him out. (I love farmers.)Evan was airlifted to St. Francis Hospital with a herniated disk and a fractured vertebrae in his neck. (In a rotten batch of timing, because the President was in town, he had to wait for several hours at another hospital before they cleared the air space and could transport him.)
He'll have surgery tomorrow morning and is currently resting as comfortably as one can in a hospital. Aside from the neck brace he'll have to wear for a few months, they think he's going to be fine. We're all saying a lot of praise-the-Lords around here that it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
My sister-in-law reminded me that this is the second Davis brother in less than six months to catch a truck on fire. She wisely suggested that I keep a close eye on Chad.
Meanwhile, hang in there, Evan! We'll be thinking of you!
July 26 update: Evan's surgery went great!
