~Just saw Shane....~
Just got home. He looks so wonderful! He has road rash on his wrists where the gloves were'nt leather and some on his elbows and he says both knees. A broken bone right below the knee and will see the orth dr tomorrow. He says his neck feels really weak and sore and he can't get up from a laying down position to sitting up without someone getting him up. He says his whole left side is what hurts more and he prob landed on it. His helmet saved his life. The plastic face shield was bent in half. The padded jacket he wears is ripped up but the pads did their job! He says he remembers flying thru the air and thinking that he was doing that and he couldn't believe it was happening. He said there was a guy in a porche and another in an SUV that stopped and stayed with him thew whole time. We have to find out who they are and thank them. He said that the emt's cut off his shirt and jeans(I thought he had just left work, but he had gone home and changed and was going out to meet friends.)
He said the driver hit him at 85-90 mph and then swerved right, left and then across the lanes and into a hotel parking lot where he hit a parked car. Shane said that he could hear the guy screaming in the ER as they stitched him up and someone told Shane that they didn't use any pain meds on him(the drunk). The guy's wife did come in Shane's room and ask if he was the one on the bike and that she was sorry. Shane told her he broke his leg and to look at his helmet that they said he shouldn't have survived! She started to cry.
I am so amazed that he was spared! God is so good! I just can't believe how good he looks! Thanks all of y'all for your prayers etc. I am so thankful my son is alive!
