Dear Denise,
Horrible accident. My thoughts and prayer for the family, Justin and you.
If he wasn't sure where he was, it might take a day maybe a week before he gets back together. My last accident, I was in and out of consciousness on my way to the hospital. And I don't have any memory of the day, most of the hospital stay. And I'm more or less back. And I'm much older than Justin.
I wish him a speedy and complete recovery. He is young.
Sincerely,
Smilingcat

URGENT!! Prayers needed!!
To disable ads, please log-in.
I know I can count on you ladies. I need some big time prayers for one of of customers/friends.
We are the type of shop that doesn't just have customers, we make friends.
We sponsor the local BMX track, and I've gotten to know a lot of the racers and their families.
Tonight we were at the track and one of the kids I just helped get on a bike crashed HARD. It was BAD! He was airlifted to the local neurological hospital.
This kid is just the nicest most respectful kid. And he's 15!!
And his mother is sooo nice. i just LOVE this family, and I'm devastated right now. I have tears streaming down my face as I write this.
He was out cold for a long time, and it looks like a neck injury- also a head injury since he didn't know where he was, etc.
I'm just shaking right now, and I wish there was something else I could do. But all I can do is come on here and ask ya'll for prayers. his name is Justin, and his number plate says "Bustin Justin" on it.
So if you could please give him and his family your thoughts and prayers I would appreciate it.
Hopefully he'll be back racing again.
He races on an Intense bike, so I'm going to call them Monday and try to get him some stuff. The folks at VSI (Intense) are great, and I KNOW they'll come through BIG TIME!
Thanks all
Be safe out there!
Denise

Thanks all
Thanks Ladies and Mr.
My brother and parents are in town so we are headed to Sedona to hike today, but I have the hospital # and his moms cell #, so I will call and check in later.
I've been awake most of the night worrying about him.
We brought his bike home for him, and I brought her inside to sleep- as I know he keeps her in his room.
She looks to have come through relatively unscathed.
Thanks again. I'll be in touch when I know something.

I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts. Sounds like he is a tough young man and he has that in his favor.
