Yesturday our good friend Justin Brauer fell off a lader at work. Didn't think anything of it at first until I heard from Robb that they were going to be airlifting him to Harbor View in Seattle. I have to admit I freaked out a little. The most stressfull was that we had not information other then that. We didn't know if taking him to Harbor View was precautionary or necessary. So we had to wait. Robb finally made it to Virginia Mason Urgent Care where he had been taken and he was already in an ambulance. The helicopter wouldn't be available until 1pm and they wanted to get him over sooner. They had the ferry staff hold the ferry, loaded him up and raced him down there. Robb followed in his truck and got in line at the ferry. Robb said that Justin was awake and answering questions and still being the sarcastic guy that we know. He couldn't remember what happened though and his short term memory was affected slightly as he kept asking the same questions over and over again every couple minutes.
After multiple phone calls we were finally able to get ahold of Jen and let her know that he had an accident and was on his way to Harbor View. We told her that Robb was with him and to call him to connect up with them. A couple hours later I called Robb to get the status of the CT scan and found out that they were releasing Justin. Yay. He still needs a low key couple of days to recover completely, but he is going to be ok. His memory will most likely come back gradually over the next couple days and he has been released to go back to work on Monday. Wow - what a close call. I definitely give praise to God for catching him with he fell and being with him throughout the afternoon to continue and speed along his recovery. What an amazing thing.
