He fell at work?

this is from a group email that was sent out to friends of Brian (aka Boone)

Wil, Johnny, and I went to see Boone last night. (Monday) His sister was in the room and had informed us that today (Tuesday) he will be takin off of the breathing machine and have a trake (sp) installed. Once this is doen they can decrease his meds so he will be more alert. At that time they can start to determine how much feeling he has in the lower half of his body.
 
Also he came down with peunomia (sp) and was running a fever.
 
And like Matt said... It's a very humbling feeling to se him laying there totaly helpless. It makes you aware how fragile we really are. Boone, and his brother were on some scaffeling only 12 ft from the ground. The scaffeling collapsed and they both fell.

I'm glad this is up; I've been meaning to post about it.  Keep him in your prayers.  My back injury was scary enough and I had a hard time reading the original e-mail.   :(
