Xian In Intensive Care Unit (GOING HOME!!!)

[K3 Chris Onwiler]

I'll burn some incense, bite the head off a bat, and sacrifice a virgin for you X.  (Like among the people I know I could find a virgin....)  Maybe I'll just say a prayer instead?  Dude, that blows.  I'll be up in your neighborhood starting Wednesday night for AMA.  You've got my number.  Call me!

Bike in bad shape?  Usually seems like physical injuries are the inverse of crash damage.

The bike faired well, it was covered with mud and grass due to the rain that had happened the 1st 1/2 of the day. It has very minor damage like a broken lever and some new texture added to some of the bodywork.

Maybe the title should also say (But he's going to be OK) cause I thought the worst when I saw that.

I added 'OK' to the title, but the doctor had told me not to discount the severity of his condition, despite his positive attitude there's reasons he's in the ICU. I also remembered after seeing the picture that they were not giving him anything to eat or drink (does have IV though) because of the unknown internal bleeding, he has a tube going down to his stomach keeping it empty and any blood out of it.

Originally after the crash he was choking on blood and the Life Flight helicopter was called, but Xian was able to get breathing before the helicopter was airborne so they cancelled the flight since just by chance the ambulance there at the track had a higher level response team than the helicopter did. It was about a 1/2 hour drive into Omaha where the hospital is at vs. an 8 minute flight, upon Xian urging them to call off the expensive flight they felt it would be safe to transport him by ambulance. Xian actually removed his own helmet while adreneline was still masking alot of the pain, the response team was also able to remove his leathers without cutting them, though Xian doesn't remember them doing it.

Man, I just HATE to hear about stuff like this, especially when it's one of my friends.

[Super Dave]

Yeah, those flights usually cost $4000.

Where's he at?  Immanuel?  Clarkson? 

[GSXR RACER MIKE]

Yeah, those flights usually cost $4000.

Where's he at?  Immanuel?  Clarkson? 

He's at Creighton University Hospital (St. Joseph) which was the designated emergency response Hospital for that particular event.

Roger that...

 Watching the storms move through on Sat I got to talk with their 'medics and EMTs, hanging out at the concessions. Quite competent and alert crew with communication skills, on the ball. Thank God.


Heal up X. Can I see the Pit Bull stand for the bed you got there? You got LP to sponsor your ICU stay? Damnnnn   Get Well.

Hey Xian, I know you can't read this now, but we're thinkin' of you Bro. Get well FAST!

Where's the Spyder Sticvker on that hospital bed? 

[th308]

So I suppose I don't really need to be checking this thread every 2 hours....

[K3 Chris Onwiler]

Wasn't looking!  Not worried!  It's just X.  No big deal....
