August 22nd our neighbors two sons were involved in a very serious boating accident. The older one, Chris lost his life and the 16 year old suffered severe head trauma plus several broken bones on the right side of his body. He took the full impact of the hit on his right side. The skull fracture is the main concern at this point. To begin with, he was in an induced coma. He is aware to the point he can follow commands such as squeese my hand etc. He is not fully awake. He had been transferred from Mobile to Methodist Hospital in Jackson MS. He has already had two emergency surgeries but will have to endure several more to set his broken bones. First, he must get stronger. While he is in Methodist, at least one of his parents must stay in the room 24/7. Right now they are both at his bedside. There is no money coming in, but the bills must be paid plus the added medical expense is mounting. This family needs your help. They need your prayers and they need financial help. If you can make a donation, you may make the check payable to Todd Webb, 1113 Hwy 29, Wiggins, MS. 39577.
The man who hit the Webb's was drunk and fleeing from the authorities. He is paralized from the waist down because of an accident he caused two years ago which killed a man. At the time of the accident Aug 22, he was "propped up" by the passenger as he couldn't stand by himself. The authorities recovered over 30 empty beer cans from his boat.
