Update 2, 7/31/2012

Jesse had surgery this morning. Oz reports that it went very well. The doctors built his cheek back up and put plates in his face. He made it threw it very well and is already starting to look better, despite the bruises swelling etc. The doctors are going to continue to keep him sedated for now. When they do wake him up they will then be able to see if he has all of his sight and smell, but until then we will remain optomistic.[...]

Update 1 7/30/2012

Right now Jesse is in stable condition he has mutiple fractures mostly to his spine, ribs and both clavicles and pelvis and a small laceration on his left kidney. The most serious injury was to his nose and left eye Dr. Kilabrew did an amazing job putting every thing back in place in the in the ER. He is is being kept sedated due to the pain but has been able to come to a couple of times. We are opptomistic that he can see us and comprehend what is being said to him. Dr. Killabrew is going to begin recontructive sugery on his left oribital socket early tomorrow morning. Erin, Amy and RJ are all doing very well. Erin has some brusies and scrapes but no broken bones or lacerations. RJ has a mark across his shoulder from the seat belt and Amy does not even have a scratch. We will try to keep you posted as often as we can.[...]
