Family

My mom called yesterday to tell me that my second cousin once removed (or whatever it is when it's your parents' cousin's kid) was helping his dad move hay bales (I assume the larger variety) when one slipped and fell on him, pinning him between the bale and the fence. In any case, it broke his back and so, as of right now, he's paralyzed from the waist down. Though I guess he's got a tingling feeling in his legs so there's some hope that it may not have severed his spinal cord.

Wow. I'm hoping for the best on his behalf.
