Phred,

Kim said they were going about 35 miles per hour. She said the dear wasn't just by the roadside, he came barreling out of a cornfield.

Sending all my best wishes to Kimmy and her parents- how lucky they were!
Thanks Donna for letting us know.

How frightening (have been on a motorcylce ride this weekend as well!) and how good that they are doing well.

My thoughts are with them.

Now I'm not sure, but did they have to cut your mom's ring off Kimmy? It looks like it but I've seen where rings have broken during an accident like what your folks have.

How are they doing today?

Prayers for Kimmy's parents. I'm with djfyrewolf about wondering why deer like to pop into traffic. Around here they hang out on the edges of the forest preserves, where they tend to blend in with the trees along the road. So you almost can't see them till it's too late, especially at night.

Thank you all so much for the prayers. It's been a rough couple of days.

They had gone out to dinner and since it's been so nice these past couple of days, it didn't occur to them that the days are already getting shorter.

When they were done it was 8:30 and dark out. They opted for the back roads vs. the highway so dad could go slow.

The doe was running full tilt when she came out of the cornfield and slammed into my parents. Mom said the bike wobbled a bit and she thought dad had control of it but then they were tipping.

Mom said she opened her eyes and was on her side and her first thought was "That wasn't so bad." Then she realized dad was looking at her. She thought they had 'rode the bike' with the skid. Instead, the bike had skid 15 feet away. When dad fell, he skid, then rolled.

A witness stopped and called for help. Deputy came out and did up a report and mom and dad told him they'd ride the bike home. Officer followed them for about 5 miles and when it was obvious the bike was running okay, he let them go. They got the bike home, dad called the insurance company, then dad changed and they took themselves to the hospital in the truck.

Mom just has road rash, bumps, and bruises.

On top of that, Dad has contusions on the lungs, two broken ribs and a broken thumb.

Could of been worse.

Mom was discharged at 5 a.m. Tues. They wanted dad to stay for observation. Tuesday evening the doctor decided that he wanted dad to stay one more night, so he's still in the hospital. Hopefully he'll be discharged around 8 p.m. today.

Today, Jenn came out to see dad and when he cried out in pain from a muscle spasm, she passed out and hit the floor head first. O_o So she ended up in the emergency room, but she's okay.
