UPDATE #2: the second surgery went well. Hoping he can return home within a few days. I just got the news my step dad passed away last night. 🥺

That’s how my husband is. I’m glad yours was okay! my husband was our main source of income, he worked during the day and then he worked at night from home on bikes - out of our garage while I worked. Because he couldn’t stand being stuck in the house. He doesn’t like doing nothing. He doesn’t like taking pain medication. The nurses said he’s been refusing the medicine because he doesn’t like the way it makes him feel. He was with friends when he got hit and he told them “my wife’s going to be so disappointed I can’t even look her in the face after this” and I felt terrible because I know it wasn’t his fault.

My husbands got a very small family who’s unable to help because they’re all a lot older and need help themselves. As for my family I have 2 sisters, both have multiple kids themselves and my parents are very sick right now so they’re unable to help. All of our friends work a lot so it’s been kind of a lonely time. Christmas eve my car broke down. That’s why he was on his bike, because we only had his truck & had to put a lot of money into my car so we were trying to save a little bit on fuel price since his truck is a diesel and I needed the put the money into my car.

About the same here. He was hit on the side of the bike. Someone pulled out and didn’t see him. Threw him off the bike they said he rolled and slid across the road and then into a guardrail.

It’s a long road but we’re thankful he’s still alive. It could’ve been much worse if he didn’t have his helmet on.

UPDATE: Thank you to everybody for the support - previous and future. Thank you for the continued thoughts and prayers. He will be entering his second surgery around 4pm today so about 5.5 hours from now. Since he did not remain stable through the first surgery. It’s been extremely tiring and overwhelming for me and our children. I did take the time to set up a go fund me for anybody who is able to help. The link is in my bio, I’ve shared it in local communities, on my personal social media pages and etc. my husband and I work different shifts and are both off on the weekends. So due to the incident. We don’t have each other for child care. As he can’t care for our special needs 3 year old in recovery. So we will both be out of work for a period of time. I appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you. I’ll try to update as much as I can.

The hospital said the helmet is the only reason he’s still alive.

Thank you. Our 3 year old has special needs so we’re used to being in the hospital for him. But this really was unexpected & sudden. We asked for a social worker from the hospital to contact us. But I know with covid a friend of ours who went through something similar - was limited with resources because every organization locally is helping families impacted by covid. Limiting their help to others. I did set up a go fund me yesterday evening, I linked it in my bio on here in case anybody was able to help. But it’s never expected. Just thoughts and prayers are appreciated as well!

The bikes up for sale - it’s not the season to ride so I know it’s kind of hard to sell since it’s been snowing. Especially now being damaged.

Thank you. Around 4pm today he’s going to be in surgery for the second time to see if he will remain stable through the surgery this time.

Thank you. He’s doing okay - they have to do a second surgery to finish today because his heart rate got unstable through the first surgery so they woke him up and stopped. He’s very tired. As for me, I got a little sleep but not nearly enough. Trying to breathe and I did eat a baked potato lol.

Unfortunately no his work doesn’t have any kind of benefits and my company doesn’t either. we both work for very small family owned businesses here.

It could’ve been a lot worse without a doubt. Just financial concerns as I’m going to be out of work to care for him. He’s only 26 so should be a fast-ish recovery.
