So this is what happened.

Basically the full story is this: We are here in Davenport, IA because Nate's grandma is in the dying process. We were going to a bbq at Nate's sister Kelly's. We stopped at a grocery store to pick up some baked beans. As we were leaving this old man fell down in the parking lot and bloodied up his face and broke his pinky. Nate stopped and helped the man. After he got back in the car he was kind of shook up, but seemed ok. We got maybe 2 blocks away when he said he didn't feel good. Next thing I know he's fainted. I tried to wake him... I grabbed the wheel and put the car in neutral since his foot was on the gas. Somehow I managed to avoid hitting any other cars. We came up to another intersection and I had to choose the ravine or other cars and I chose the ravine. We flipped the car a few times and I am told we were airborn. I don't really know. I have a broken hand and collar bone, a cracked rib, and a crack in my sternum. Pretty major swelling on my face head and neck and scratches and bruises. Nate had a severe concussions and a cracked vertebrae. I got out of the hospital Monday and Nate got out of the ICU last night. I hope he's out of the hospital in a day or two.
