Cottonwood's brother update

<p>I visited my brother in the hospital Saturday. He is recovering from emergency surgery
(rear ended into on coming traffice, multi car accident) and may go home today. Yes, he had his belts on, yes the air bag went off. He was talkative Saturday, still getting used to pain management regimen.</p>

<p>I want to thank all of you for your prayers and good wishes for his recovery. I very, very nearly lost one of my brothers. Thank goodness for the paramedics (We’re talking this one first! He’s crashing!) the firefighters that threw him in the ambulance without strapping him down, the triage (get a line in him, he’s going straight to surgery!) the surgeons, the surgeon’s tuition paying parents, etc.</p>

<p>I’m so happy your brother is recovering from what sounds like a horrific accident.
It will be a very Happy Thanksgiving for your family !</p>

<p>We’re a family of blood donors, too, plain old A positive. By sheer coincidence, I was donating blood yesterday. Others donated the blood my brother needed. Thank you, all you fellow blood donors.</p>

<p>I am so glad your brother is on the mend! I received quite a bit of blood transfusion during my surgeries, so I am very grateful to blood donors. I cannot donate, but H and S are regular donors.</p>

<p>Echo the appreciation to blood donors out there. My mom is in the several-gallon club. I was shocked to see the permission form my 16-year-old brought home last week so he could donate at school. Who knew he had this in him? I’m quite proud.</p>

<p>He went home on Sunday! Thanks, everyone!</p>
