So, I've finally gotten to talk with Rys a bit on the phone, and let me tell you, what a relief that was! We were only out of touch for about a day, but it felt like an eternity, knowing the condition he was in.

Here's what I've learned so far:

- His ankle, toe, sternum, leg, and hip are all broken. He thinks he should be out of the hospital in about a week.

- The person who was in the car with him (a friend who he was driving home) suffered internal bleeding.

-He was in surgery for 6 hours on the 24th, or the 25th, I'm not sure which date.

-The driver who caused the accident was drunk. Rys' going to be taking legal action against her.

He seems to be in good spirits, much better than I would be if I were in his situation.

That's about all I know for now, but I'll keep you all up-to-date.
