Accident

Just wanted to let you all know Chris was involved in a motorcycle accident Friday evening. He is doing OK-truly blessed young man-but will be hurting for awhile. Luckily they did not have to keep him in the hospital, especially since he crashed near Paragould and ended up in the ER there. It is a small town about 20 miles NW of J-boro and let's just say the medical facilities are not the best. The ambulance said since they did not know the extent of his injuries at the time that was where they had to take him since it was closest. At the same time they had a bad wreck with fatality and other injuries so we were there until after 11 pm last night.
The good news was he had on a helmet and motorcycle jacket, so was really lucky. His bones must be made out of rubber because he only ended up with some really nasty abrasions over a very large part of his body. I am sure this morning he will be hurting! His brand new bike however (from what we were told) was not so lucky.
Someone pulled out in front of him on the highway and he was going a "bit" fast-locked up the brakes and skidded. He went one way and his bike went the other. Again-he is very blessed to end up with only abrasions!
Keep him and Sara in your prayers! We will take good care of them both!
Love ya!
