From Neil (CoRE), "I just watched 4 of my best friends roll their car over at 85 mph in front of me. If you are in CoRE, please call Matt or Steve, if you are in AGRO, call Angela, if you are in DHS call Razortongue or Orbie. I will be updating them periodically. Please do not call Spliff, Jill, Ribble, or Brandon as they do not have their phones. Send all your prayers and love their way."

Update from Jill at 2:45AM

 "Myself our Baby and Branden are ok. Badly cut bruised and sprained, but ok. I'm currently headed to Odessa where Arwen and Robby are in critical condition. I'll let u know as soon as I do.... Keep positive thoughts for us please." -Jill

Update from Neil at 4:31AM

Ribble is in surgery spliff had a head concusion, brain and skull appear to be fine for now.  Broken vertebrae in his neck.  He is heavily sedated and on a breathing machine in the ICU at Medical Center Hospital in Odessa, TX. 

Update from Jill at 4:57AM

"I am currently in ICU with Arwen. He's heavily sedated, breathing steadily with help from a machine. Concusion in his head which is currently not effecting his skull or brain. Also a broken vertibre in his neck. He is being closely monitored and things could change. Ribble is still in surgery..... Keep the positive energy coming"

Update from Neil at 5:00AM 

"Brandon is asleep at the hotel in Ft Stockton, and Sara and NoMan are watching over him. Other than that, if you do not hear something directly from myself or Jill, just remember, it's all hearsay, and please remain calm."

Update from Neil at 5:54AM

This is what the doctor told Neil

"Robbie-Has a Ruptured Spleen + it was removed, he has a bruised mesentery, he has tubes in his chest to drain his lungs, severe head trauma + spinal chord damage, he has had a litter of blood pumped out of his abdomen and recycled back into his blood stream. his liver was lacerated in 3 places, they were able to cauterize and suture it back together. He is on a breathing machine and will be for a week.

"Spliff-Has broken ribs and severe contusions around his lungs, broken vertebrae, severe head trauma, and is also on a breathing machine and will be for a week."

We will know a lot more in 48hours when and if they come out of it.

Update from Neil at 12:00PM

"It's hurry up and wait time. Nothing new on Ribble. The blood underneath Spliff's scalp is starting to drain, he's requiring a little less medication to keep his bp up, and he may or may not need neck surgery. They have to stabilize him more before they can tell. Jill, Viv, and I are headed from Ft Stockton to Midland Intl Airport to pick up Spliff's mom and aunt then heading straight to the hospital. Thank you guys for all your support."

Update from Jill at 8:25PM

"So good news about Robby... When not sedated, he is responsive! Doc said wiggle ur toes n he did. Squeeze my hand and he did. Then I jumped in and let him know it was me, and he actually opened his bloody swollen eyes and looked at me and held my hand!"

Update from Neil at 10:10PM (Friday)

"Ribble is responding to voice commands and squeezing our hands and wiggling his toes while not sedated. Spliff is still wait and see. Jill is in the ER at Medical Center Hospital b/c some fluid built up in her knee, but she's not in anymore pain than she was. Ribble's moms flight out of JFK was delayed twice, and she missed her flight from Dallas to Midland. Waiting to hear from her. Brandons mom and grandmother are in Ft Stockton with him and they have their own room for the night in the same hotel as NoMan and Sara. Brandon is going to come to the ER here in Odessa tomorrow am to have things checked out, he wants to see Spliff and Ribble, will spend the night tomorrow in Odessa with his mother and grandmother, then most likely head back to Victoria, TX with them. The gear is on the way back to Austin from Ft Stockton thanks to Chris Spears, and will be transferred to Thomas Goff and taken to Houston. There are still many people on the road, and I have to pick up Ribbles mom at 9:30 am and one of Spliffs friends from NYC at 5:40 pm. Still need your thoughts and prayers. Thank you."

Update from Neil 11:42AM (Saturday)

"Jill would like to ask everyone if they plan to cone to Odessa, don't just jump in a car or on a plans and come down here. Wait a couple of weeks, and let her know your intentions before just showing up. Thank you for your understanding. 

Today Arwen went to surgery. Only to re-stabilize his neck. Now he can be moved and sat upright which will help his healing process. He is still unconscious, but we have had slight response such as eye movement and a little in his arms. Good signs, but so far from over.  Please continue sending love and support and positive thoughts and words. Thank you all for everything, I don't know where we'd be without all of your help. <3

We will post more information here as it becomes available. Please watch this space for updates.

All our hearts and minds are with them.
