Emergencies- updated

I've been called to the office at school twice this week, and it's only Wednesday. Today was an early release day and one of our crossing guards got stuck at a doctor's office. I was on campus doing other things when I called, I had a counseling session this morning, but because I'm working hard on getting the rest of the holiday families set up needed to go to school at the end of the day. I'm glad I was there, to cover, but man was it hot outside at 12. One of my best friend's just called me her husband was in an accident on the way home from work. He rides a motorcycle. All they told her on the phone was he was awake. Why I didn't think of asking what hospital I don't know, so I'll have to wait until she calls me to make sure he's OK. Just one of the times you get a phone call and are shocked that you can't think. Please pray he is OK. I was able to get a hold of her as she walked in to the hospital, she was waiting until they put her in a quiet room to talk to her. His brain was exposed in big chunks, he has some swelling of blood around his brain, his left shoulder could be broken, and his right ankle or leg is broken. It's going to be a long, long recovery. My sister and I went to the hospital to check on them last night. He was awake, in a lot of pain, and couldn't remember the accident at all. The hospital was planning on rechecking the swelling with a CT scan at 10 last night, hopefully that there was not a lot, or he could have to have surgery right away.
