Drew's been in an accident

Drew Vetor has been in a car accident. Apparently Drew was driving home alone from KY on August 6th after visiting a friend. At some point in Indiana he crossed a grassy median and was hit by an oncoming 18-wheeler. Emergency personnel responded and Drew was airlifted to a hospital in Evansville, Indiana, which specializes in head trauma. He is currently suffering from serious injuries including two broken legs, both broken hips, broken right wrist, broken left forearm and has punctured his lungs. He is on medication and the doctors have now lowered the dosage but he is still in a medically induced coma. He is wearing a head monitor as well as he has had a CAT scan to check for brain damage but there is no news on that very real possibility. Latest report says that Drew has responded with "performed and purposeful movement" which means he has pulled at his medical tubes and pushed away when touched. Please keep Drew in your thoughts and prayers at this time. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted once I receive any information.
