******attn prayers and help needed for one of our own*****

News from Facebook

Hey all friends of Owen.. Here is an update.. I'll try to put these out periodically.
I have spent most of the last 20 hours with him. He is able to talk right now. Note due to a doctor infused adrenaline shot.
Here is what I know.
About Owen... looking at lots of future surgery.
1. Brain and spinal. Neuro surgeon is on it.
2. Broken face arm and leg... maybe more. Ortho surgeon is on it.
3. Facial issues... reconstructive surgery to follow.
Most important he is in positive spirits.
Please pray! He is not out of this yet.
Critical means Critical in ICU surgery center
What we know about the crash.
Crash on motorcycle at Linden and Xenia ave.
It happened Saturday night. Preliminary belief is it was not his fault. He stopped a truck (pick-up) head on. (HIt and Run)
All material life things like "cat-catastrophe" (his cat) and the motorcycle are taken care of.

Thank you for sending your love.

- Get well soon, mate (and please, save any future crashing for CFS3, not RL)!!

Frosty
 
Slip and Major, if either of you get the chance, please pass on to Owen how many of us are thinking and praying for him.
 
"Slip and Major, if either of you get the chance, please pass on to Owen how many of us are thinking and praying for him."
I'll echo that.

Very glad to hear there is some degree of improvement.
 
Another update from his Facebook Friends this afternoon.

He had surgery on his broken left leg. He has a broken right arm, fractured face, lacerations. Internal bleeding, neck brace. Apparently a truck turned left in front of him on Linden and Xenia avenues. He had no time to react. Thrown through the air and landed on his bike, face first. Many, many surgeries ahead. He is coherent, and his sister and brother in law are there.

Get better and hang in there Owen.

A lot of people here hoping you have a speedy recovery.

Anthin.
 
Get well soon Hobbit

Will you guys give our very best from all CFS3 types in South Africa when you see him, will be watching out for good news.
 
A few more details from his Facebook page.

He has several injuries and had surgery Sunday afternoon for a shattered knee. He has a broken arm, internal bleeding, needs reconstructive surgery on his face, a spinal injury, a hand in need of surgery and many cuts including a split forehead. Because he landed on his face and crushed his sinuses, he's on a ventilator to keep him breathing comfortable.

This is indeed terrible news. He will be in my thoughts.

With my thinking cap on "Hobbit" is that short for "House Hobbit?"
 
That's him Pat, he's a regular in the CFS3 forum, a major contributor of CFS3 missions and a great character. We're rather worried about him.
 
All positive thoughts headed his way from here in Delaware.

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on the situation.
 
Wow! Will be praying for sure. I'm relieved it seems he's improving, but sounds like a very long road ahead. Thanks Andy and stump for keeping us informed!

P.S. Owen, didn't anyone tell you you can't ride a motorcycle upside down?
 
Wow what dreadful news, I wish Hobbit a speedy recovery. Having just restored a motorcycle, it is a sobering reminder for me to use good safety gear....:concern:
