I just wanted to let you all know that my husband and I spoke with Curtis's Step Dad and Mom today, it was actually earlier this morning but with all the bad weather we've had here today, we JUST NOW plugged all the puters back in. The specialist came in this morning and spoke with Curtis's parents, he has some tendon and ligament damage in his arms, but not as much as they first thought, however, there is a lot more muscle damage than was first though, but the specialist thinks they can still save Curtis's arm. His Dad said he thought he was coming back around to being himself cause he was yelling at doctors and nurses this morning when they were changing his dressing, the gauze was pulling and boy I think I'd be yelling to! Brenda (Curtis's Mom) said they have him on morphine for the pain, thank God for that, I didn't get but maybe 45 minutes sleep last night thinking about Curtis and the pain he must be going through. His neck was able to be sewed shut, I think I told you that in the other update, not sure if I did or not. He has a concussion and doesn't remember the accident at all but Brenda did say that he remembered coming to and my husband and I being there with him. She said he asked her to tell us thank you for helping him and staying there with him and not leaving him and he wants to meet us. Brenda and I both cried together on the phone, we have children very close in age and being a Mom and loving our children and something like this happening just lets two heart pour out tears together I guess. Brenda ad her husband wanted to replace my cell phone that got fried from it getting soaked int he rain, I told them absolutely not, I wouldn't hear of it, all I wanted from them was for them to take care of that boy, that cell phone doesn't mean anything to me. It actually does now though, cause my other stinkin cell phone wouldn't make a darn call out, it had no signal at all! I always carried my pre paid cell phone with me for emergencies in case we needed it and our other phones wouldn't call out. Thank God it worked!! It may be fried but I'm keeping it, sentimental reasons I guess. Anyhow, I don't want a replacement cell phone from them, I just want Curtis to be ok. My hubby and I are going to head to the hospital to see him this weekend, I hope I can hold it together and not cry when we see Curtis. The surgeon is supposed to let them know here very soon when they'll start the skin grafting, please keep praying that Curtis gets through this long road of recovery and will be ok. I'll update again when I have more news. Thank you all, each and every single one of you for all of your thoughts and prayers, your all a God sent! Oh and I also told Brenda (Curtis's Mom) that I posted here at YT about Curtis and what happened and that all of you are praying for him and their family, she started to cry again and asked that I thank you all for her, Curtis and her husband and to let you know your prayers mean the world to them.
