Get Better...

Justin's brother was in a pretty severe wreck last night down in Walterboro. Lori called about 12:30am to let us know she was on the way to the hospital. I talked to her again around 1:15 and most recently at 7::15 this morning. Justin just left for work and he was suppose to call her on his way.

No sure if I can talk about details, but the car went off the road on its side Lori said, narrowly missing the railing of a bridge and a tree. Jeremy's friend Jonathan was driving. Jon broke his foot and a rib. Jeremy was ejected from the car and has been admitted to the hospital. He is VERY lucky though. One of the vertebrae in the middle of his back has been 'compounded' i believe. (not sure if that is the word). Lori said he is pretty beat up though. As I understand it, he is scheduled for an MRI sometime this morning and Lori is going to have him transported to Charleston.

I just hope everything is going to be OK. If his back is messed up, he won't be able to do his job (fire fighter). Hopefully he has disability insurance. That would make for a better 'worst case scenario.' The trick is going to be getting him to stick with re-hab and not over exerting himself. Lori said he is already talking like, "no momma, i will be ok. You'll see I will be driving around in a few days." Both of the Shearer boys are as hard headed as they come, and I know Lori will agree with that.

I am off to the funeral in a few minutes. Mom just called to let me know they are about there. I feel like I should have something to work on in the car, but I did not bring anything from work to take with me. It is a good 2 hour ride to Chesnee. I would carry a book to read, but I left my glasses at the office too. Oh well - reckon I might catch some Zs. Didn't sleep well worrying about Jeremy. Oh - good thing is that I do not think alcohol was involved. My main fear was that he was driving the car and he had been drinking. That is a 1st class ticket out of his career.

Going to go now...
