JFSinIL Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Good evening members of the Well-Trained Mind community,Friends of JFSinIL, she is going to be alright, but will be out of touch for a while due to hospital.I am the elder son of JFSinIL. My Mother requested that I make some sort of status update. She didn't want her online friends to be worried about her sudden absence. I will also copy this to the latest forums on which I see she has gotten notifications.I apologize if this is a rather vague update, but I am unfamiliar with this site and do not know how well Mom is personally known (caution of the Internet, after all).Mom, Dad, and my twin brother were en route to attend my college graduation ceremony when an SUV ran a stop sign. Very fortunately there were no fatalities of this accident. My family was sent to a nearby hospital before my mother was airlifted to a better-equipped trauma center. Mom is still in ICU, but recovering well. After ICU, she will likely need to stay in hospital for a while for rehab. My Dad is out of ICU and should be able to come home on the 'morrow. My twin was able to be discharged on the day of the accident and is doing well.The SUV was occupied by two females under the age of 21. Both were hospitalized and have been arrested (at least) for illegal possession of alcohol.Despite the terrible accident, everyone will pull through well. Mom will just take a little more time than the others.Sincerely,JFS (yes, we have the same initials), son of JFSinIL[28th May 2014]Thank you all for the prayers and wishes. I will update you all asap and have a friend visiting Mom this afternoon inform her of your support. I, of course, will let her know if I see her before said friend :)Thank you all,-- JFS[30th May 2014]Dad has been discharged from the hospital and was able to visit Mom before being driven home. Mother dearest is continuing to recuperate well; I think this may have something to do with the fact that you can't keep a mom down :)I can definitely tell where my worrywart tendencies come from, given that Mother dearest continues to keep us busy despite being an hour way!Sincerely,-- JFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane in NC Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Dear Son of JFS, My son is another of the same group who began college in 2010. I feel a certain kinship with the moms who were navigating those waters, including your mother. While I am glad that things are going well, I fear that there may be lots of rehab ahead. Please send your mom warm wishes from all of us. Congratulations on your own achievement. I am sorry that your celebratory day was marred by such a sorrowful event. Thank you for keeping us posted.
