It's been a nutty day - sorry I'm just now able to post an update. He was crossing the street this morning and a work truck ran a red light. He is at Bellevue Hospital in NYC, and he has no internal injuries but the skin on his ankle and foot has been scraped off clear to the bone. There are some other injuries on his ankle that they repaired today in surgery, and he will need a few more surgeries over the next week and a half to get everything squared away. Everyone at the hospital says that Ryan had an angel with him, because he was actually dragged for a while and c/should have sustained really bad internal injuries.... but not one has surfaced! Thank GOD. Truly. His shoes were strong enough to help withstand the impact (hooray for really thick leather and solid soles!), and he will recover! There was a good samaritan who tried to pull Ry out of the way, and that spilt second of a tug backwards helped him, too.
His spirits are high but he is very tired.
Psalm 91:11-16 "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone." Been playing in my head all day!!
Good night.
