"On September 22, my son, Max McColl, was on his dirt bike running to the corner store and was involved in a hit-and-run accident. He was then rushed to the Detroit Receiving hospital Emergency Department. This was when they discovered he had a compound fracture of his tibia and fibula on his left leg and a broken femur on his right leg. The doctors also found that he has a brain bleed and swelling and a fractured skull. Max was then transferred to the Neurology Intensive Care Unit. He is currently on a ventilator in a medically induced coma to keep him as comfortable as possible. Yesterday, he underwent a craniectomy (surgically removing a part of his skull to ease pressure on the brain) which will help release the pressure and swelling. Directly after this procedure, he was able to have both of his legs worked on to stabilize both of them temporarily. As of right now, he is stable and occasionally responds to commands. To permanently fix his legs, he will need another procedure within the next day or two, when the doctors believe he is more neurologically stable. They say, “it takes a village,” and we rely on our village to get through the long road ahead. We are beyond grateful to have such supportive friends and family at times like these! We ask all to continue saying prayers and sending love to our Max for a COMPLETE and speedy recovery! With love, Kim & John, Danny & Shawn, and Ben"
