i know i havent posted anything lately...life's been pretty hectic. my friends were in a bad car accident monday morning around 1am. i was notified around 2:30am and then couldn't sleep...i copied an email i sent to my aunt cathy and im going to paste it here so u can read the extent of my friends' injuries:
I have been awake since 2:30am when I got the call about matt being in a car accident. little did I know that it was worse than I ever imagined. here's the lowdown on matt and his friends [yes, two of his friends, justin and greg (brothers) were in the accident also].
-matt has a bruise on his forehead in the shape of a steering wheel, a broken nose, swollen/busted lips, multiple fractures in his ankle, and he has difficulty with his right arm. mainly all of his pain is on his right side. his doctor has him on bedrest and he's not too happy about it.
-greg got the worst of it all simply bc he did not have on his seatbelt. greg went through the windshield (I'm not sure if his whole body went through or just his upper body). he still has glass in his head, scratches all over his face, stitches in his nose and lip, deep gashes near his jugular (any closer toit and he would have probably died), gashes on his arms, a broken collarbone, a dislocated elbow, 25 stitches on his forearm, 2 broken ribs, and a partially punctured lung. he gets morphine every 30-40 minutes lol.
-justin was in the backseat with a seatbelt on so he wasn't as bad as matt and greg. he has a seatbelt burn on his chest and stomach area, but a little later in the day, he started complaining of pain in his intestinal area so they had to do a ct scan on him.
this is a very difficult time for both the barriteau and the brooks families...matts parents don't know yet bc no one wants them to worry before his dads surgery...
sorry this is so long but I thought u might want to know what was going on.
love, alex
Matt is my ex-boyfriend. his dad is the one who has carcinoid cancer and he is having surgery on everything but his liver tomorrow (wednesday) and they dont want matt's parents to worry before the surgery so theyre waiting to tell them afterwards. they are in louisiana for the surgery...
prayer works wonders, and everyone needs it right now. if u dont mind, could u please keep these people in ur thoughts and prayers? thank you.

ps - my eye is healing really well...i was supposed to go to the doctor yesterday but didnt get around to it. just a check-in though, nothing major. i should be able to wear contacts now but i want to get it checked first.
