Prayers needed for Ramanth's parents...

[anna_66]

Anna, how is your brother?

Hurting but doing good.
He's having surgery this morning to have a screw put in his ankle.
Thanks for asking.
Hoping you parents are doing good.

Sending good thoughts that your parents will heal fast and 100%.

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?

[ramanth]

Yeah, they had to cut it off, Renae.

Mom and Dad are doing well. I stopped over for a visit and no groans of pain from Dad. The road rash is drying up and should hopefully heal soon. The swelling in mom's arm is going down.

They have a follow up with their general practioner on Monday and dad see's the bone doctor about his thumb on Wednesday.

Oh my, Kimmy! I'm SO glad your parents will be ok! Those pictures brought flashbacks to me of when my parents were in a car accident in 1999. It was a pretty bad accident and they were way worse off than your parents....and they were in a car! Your parents are very lucky, but you and they probably know that already. ;-)

Terry had a real similar experience quite a few years back also. He and a buddy were riding through a forest preserve near Chicago when a small doe ran out of the woods, right into him. The deer knocked him into the oncoming lane, but fortunately he was able to keep the bike upright, and fortunately there were no cars coming in the other lane. He didn't break anything, but his leg was so bruised that he couldn't get his boots on for 6 months afterwards. After this experience, he just couldn't bring himself to enjoy riding anymore. Everytime he tried, he kept expecting something to jump out in front of him, and he just couldn't relax and enjoy himself. Needless to say, the bike ended up sitting in the garage quite a bit, so we finally sold them.

{{{hugs}}} to you for having such a scary event happen. I know how it feels to get the call that your parents are in the hospital after an accident, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

I'm so sorry to hear about your parents.

I'm glad to hear that they are making a good recovery, though. I hope they get well, soon!

[wolf_Q]

I'm very sorry to hear about their accident, Kimmy. I'm glad they are both doing ok now. That looks so painful!

[ramanth]

Thanks everyone!

Debbie, I'm sorry to hear Terry couldn't enjoy riding again. My parents plan to continue and have already orderded new helmets, but we'll see.

Mom's stitches came out last Monday, but her hand is still very much swollen. They took more x-rays to see if there was a break the first x-rays might have missed, but it's just a severe sprain. No breaks.

The road rash is nearly healed. Dad's ribs still give him much discomfort and his thumb is in a new cast for 3 weeks.

Despite some bruises on their legs, they are moving around better.

Thanks everyone for all the thoughts and healing vibes.

Oh wowee!
Your parents when through a whole lot, they are super strong!
I am glad to hear they are healing up nicely !

Sending good thoughts and wishes to them and to you!

((Hugs))
