It is by God's grace that these boys injuries weren't more severe. They both have multiple facial fractures. Will's left arm has what looks like road rash from his window and being hit by the semi. He also has a broken hip. Hopefully that will be repaired soon!!! I heard there was internal injuries but do not know details. He was awake and talking on the scene and knew the boys who visited him in the hospital. Groggy and in pain but alert. Jacobi had bleeding on the brain the night of the wreck, he was in a drug induced coma until late Thursday night. Once he was awake he was talking and doing well. He did not have a collapsed lung as first believed. Their team mates have reported that the boys looked really good yesterday. I am very proud to be a member of this community and this state. The outpour of love on this site has been amazing. God bless.

Copy of a friends post else where...good update on the boys.

Great news! Sounds like they are getting better. The Newcath community is praying for all involved.

Lot of recovery still ahead of them both, but they are lucky to be alive. Thank you to everyone from the entire Briar Jumper Community for all the prayers and support.
