Ryan

So, these pics are more for Craig than anyone. Looks like Ryan is doing pretty well...drugged up and all! :) See Mom's email below to get more details on the injury. Basically, for anyone who hasn't already heard, Ryan went to visit his friends at Fabulous Freddy's (the car wash where he works) and he decided to put air in his tire. You can see from the pictures that the rim pretty much exploded at him. The innertube of the tire also blew up, but (go figure) the tire is pretty much intact. We really are lucky that he didn't get hit in the head or anywhere else. Anyway, see Mom's email below:

Well, the “Big Dude” is resting good since they started the morphine! He underwent a long surgery that lasted about 5 hours. Basically, he cut 4 or 5 tendons, broke his hand’s big bone and crushed the knuckle. There are 3 screws holding the break together, bone grafting and tons of stitches. It scared the crap out of him and everyone else at the Fabulous Freddy’s Car wash where he works. He says his ego is injured! He’ll be in the hosp. another 3-4 days and then moved to a rehab place. The Dr.’s are taking good care of him. It will be a long road to recovery and he will have to be careful not to undo the work that was done. He does have a HUGE guardian angel !!!

Thanks to all of you for calling and caring about Ryan. He is always in there making me humble myself to ask for help from above.

Love, Mom
