Dear Aces High Bulletin Board posters,
On behalf of my husband and myself I'd like to express our appreciation for your prayers and thoughts wishing a speedy recovery for Mike. As most of you may have heard Mike was injured bungee jumping off the Forest Hill Bridge near Auburn, California on July 4th when the bungees stretched too much, causing him to bounce several times on the boulders in the riverbed under the bridge.
He suffered multiple skull fractures, a broken jaw, broken ribs, two broken arms and some internal injuries. Even the cartledge in his ears was broken. The doctors say his injuries would have been worse except he was in a relaxed state when he hit due to alcohol consumption.
Monday he's due to be released from the hospital, but he'll be in a cast from mid-thigh to the top of his head for several months. His daughter and I will work in shifts to care for him 24-7. Every cloud has a silver lining, though, and we're all excited that he'll finally lose that extra weight since he'll be eating through a straw for awhile.
Thank you all so much,
Stephanie
