Ken's cousin was in a horrible truck accident and is in the hospital. We drove up yesterday to visit him, and were glad that he was doing so well. After looking at pictures of the truck, it is a miracle that he is still alive! He has a broken neck and collarbone and other minor injuries, but he is conscious and was cracking jokes from his hospital bed. He will have surgery to place two metal plates in his neck, and there are still risks, but his attitude is good and we have high hopes that he'll be well again.
Unfortunately, more bad news.
Krista's cousin's husband died after about a week in the hospital battling injuries from a motorcycle accident. Both my cousin (Christy) and husband (Blaine) were in the accident, but my cousin is doing fine. I visited them and their kids in South Dakota a few years ago after meeting them at a family reunion in Missouri with Grandma Sue. They were always very warm and welcoming, and though they're actually my second cousins, I always felt closer to them.
Blaine and Christy had 5(?) children and recently became grandparents. Our hearts go out to Christy and their family.
