Well, it's looking better than we expected. Kelly is due to be out of ICU in the next few days. His spleen is punctured, but there doesn't seem to be as big an internal bleeding issue as first expected.
The back breakage was actually 3 spurs off the side of his spine, where the ribs connect - this is better than actual cracked or broken vertebraes, since it doesn't actually affect the spinal chord. There are still 9 cracked or broken ribs, but they all look pretty good, too.
All in all, he's in good spirits. I called today at 10 on my first break, and spoke with both he and Mom. Doc seems to be pretty upbeat about the whole situation, so that's good.
I'm still undecided about whether I should forgo the event, drop off Fred and go up to see the family. Going to talk with Fred about it tonight and see what he says...
