Don Myers in an accident.RIP Brother

Just seen on facebook that Don was hit by a car while riding his bike. Don't have any additional information on his condition but had seen his sister had written asking to keep him in our prayers. Will post more if I or someone else hears more.
Thanks

The latest I've heard is that he was in a head on accident and so he has a lot of internal damage hopefully it is not very serious. One thing for sure is that he's a tough cookie used to drag race bikes and things like that so hopefully that has helped

I just saw posted on facebook Don Myers was in a head-on collision Friday while ridin his skoot and is in the hospital. Here are some quotes from facebook...


My friend Don Myers, of Springfield, MO. Hit head-on by a car on Friday, lots of internal damage. Sending thoughts of healing to my friend.

Update on my brother is in serious but stable condition. Starting to wake up. Still a long ways to go.

Yeah, he'll pull through it. Everybody think positive and pray for a speedy recovery.

Update on Don Myers . He has to have back surgery. He has lots of fractures in his neck and back.
But a complete break in the back between the shoulders that could pinch or break the spinal cord .
Can't do the surgery until blood pressure become stable and the other trauma doctors says it's OK.
