Hey everybody-
So I do have alot of time sitting around the hospital to email, but I thought this would be an easier way to get the story out and you can read it as you have time.
For those of you who haven't heard details, Matt had a really bad accident at work early Thursday morning. He works the night shift right now at a lumber mill and there was a jam in one of the machines. Matt grabbed one of the boards and his shift leader grabbed the other. Matt's pulled loose while he still had backward momentum and he slipped off the side of the 3 foot catwalk. As he fell, he hit a suspended control panel which fractured his skull on the left side right above his ear. They took him to the er in Brattleboro and then he was sent to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH for surgery.
The surgeon said that there was alot of bleeding and swelling in the left side of his brain. This is their primary concern right now. We are waiting and watching to see what happens with the swelling before we'll know anything about actual damage.
