I got a call from my step-daughter a few hours ago telling me her nephew, my step-grandson had been rushed to the hospital. At that point I was told he had been in an accident and had lost his left hand and would most likely lose his right one and and had serious face and head trauma. She didn't know what had happened.
She called me back and told me they were moving him from the Regional Hospital in Jefferson City to the Trauma Center at MU Medical Center in Columbia. She assured me his wife and two children were not injured at all. Then she called me back and said that the Trauma Center agreed with the regional hospital and he had lost his left hand but possibly, hopefully he won't lose his right hand. Both ear drums are pierce and his eyes are burned and many stitches in his head, face and chest. I asked what happened and she said all she knew at this point was that it was due to fireworks.
I know you aren't supposed to have favorites but he was my wifes and my favorite of the grandchildren. He grew up next door to us on the farm and his father was killed in a car accident when Mark Jr was 8. He took the divorce extemely bad and hasn't spoken to me since 2010. I'm not going to the hospital unless his wife wants me there. She has been very nice to me, but I don't want to cause problems with my two step-daughters who I'm estranged from also over the divorce.
He is such a successful young man, he has his own construction company. They have crews that travel the entire continental US putting on roofs and he started building new homes in 2011.
I don't know what to do for him, I can't force myself into his life but I still love him.
Please put the M* Positive Thoughts and prayers to work for him.
