Lee...your nephew and his family, including yourself, have my best wishes for a speedy recovery and all of you will remain in my thoughts.

Redneck: Prayers sent and thats good news he will live!
Adding to the sadness is the proximity to Christmas - tough for the whole family - more prayers sent for them and you.
Stay strong.

I called my sister last night. Long story short, it's about a 90% chance they'll amputate somewhere below the knee. Today they're doing as assessment of the damage to arteries, veins etc in the ankle/foot area to find out if they can be repaired enough to save the foot and ankle, but then - if they do - he's looking at several surgeries, nearly 8 months of healing/rehabilitation and then the outcome is not, by any means, guaranteed.. Then something about a 'skin flap' (whatever that is) needed to be removed from one area to be grafted/placed over another area to replace lost flesh on his leg..
It all sounds horrible to me.. I feel so bad for him. He's at a trauma center somehow connected to Florida University (IIRC) and supposed to be extremely good at their work..
This - along with Mickey's passing is a little hard to deal with today.. I'm sorry boys..
