Hambers in Serious Accident after Louisville

All the good thoughts from here. Wow. Very charmed girl there.

 

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Hard to beleive someone could pretty much walk away from something like that. Best of luck to a speedy recovery to all involved! And the T, wow...great fab skills there!

 

Wow, could have been so much worse. Glade she's doing OK. I'm amazed at the careing and support of this place. Hope she is well soon.

 

WOW!! I'm sure glad things didn't turn out worse than they did. Add my support and prayers (for recovery and thankfulness they weren't killed). And thanks PeteJoe for the continual updates.

 

Thats really too bad! I hope every one invloved makes a speedy recovery.

Situations like that bring it all in perspective that building cars can be fun but safety should be as important as picking the right paint color.

Hope every thing works out.

 

I am happy to hear that they will be OK.

It is really something to see the pictures and to think that you could live through that.

I hope you all can help her with her truck.

Prayers for a quick recovery.

 

Morning Guys and Gals,
This is bigsissy (Petejoe's daughter). I spoke with my "lil' brother" Matt last night around 8:30. He said Megan is doing well considering... she has 4 cracked ribs, the bad puncture wound in the back of her leg, and they are watching her spleen - which is why she will be staying for 2 to 3 more days. Matt said she is extremely sore, but they are pumping the Morphine! Matt sounded awfully tired himself. I mentioned to him about all the posts on the HAMB for him and Megan. He asked me to let you all know that he doesn't have access to a computer, but he will catch up as soon as he can. And he sends his thanks to all of you. They are both very lucky and they know it! So keep them in your thoguhts and prayers, as Megan has a long recovery and a long drive home once she is realeased.

As hotrodladycrusr said, Megan actually did stand up after she flew from the car. Matt said he yelled for her and when she stood up, he said "What are doing? Lay down! You don't know what is wrong!" She is one tough cookie! Get well Megan! We miss you at home!

 

I just got back from the nascar race and found this thread. YIKES!! Get well soon! Although I have never met them in person (talked through the hamb) I feel I know them. My wife is an ICU nurse at Akron city hospital and says that spleen injuries can look good but take a turn for the worst real quickly, so its really good she is remaining in the hospital a couple of days. Best wishes, get well soon!

 

Good to hear that things are working out well. Anytime someone special is involved in a life theatening situation. It reminds us just how important those close to us really are.

Our family wishes Megan,Matt and family the best . Our thoughts and prayers are with you

I saw this:

Looks like Megan was wanting to go... I'd like to know if there is something I could bring her back with me(hat... t-shirt... etc)

Any ideas???

 

Used to have a neighbor who was an ER Doc at U of L hospital. He had worked in several ER's, including residency at UCLA. He said U of L was probably the best trauma hospital anywhere.

 

(from Denise)She's in the University of L'ville Hospital, Floor 9 West, Room 7. From what Matt relayed to me this is suppose to be one of the best trama hospitals in the midwest. If someone wants to stop by Matt said she'd probley like the company.(from Denise)

Here is a little more. If you want to send flowers or a card her name is
Megan Boyd


Later,Bill

 

Sorry to hear that. I hope everyone is doing well. I'm sorry to see such a pretty piece of tin wasted, but I'd rather see everyone go home in good health.

 

Your so sweet!!! She wears girly type (thin strapped) tank tops alot with little skirts, so......if you see a Speed Week tank top that would be way cool for her. If not, my second guess would be a t-shirt and I would guess a size large.

 

Wow - I hope for a speedy recovery for all!

 

Glad to hear that she is in good hands.
We are praying for her complete recovery here.

Glad to hear everyone is on the road to recovery! Scarey stuff for sure.
Get Well SOON Megan, you have a truck to build!!
All the best,
Marc

 

My thoughts exactly, I would assume a stock T or A frame would have folded up and pushed everything in the wrong direction, even the front spring perch held up, Hats off to the builder/welder and I'm super glad that everyone is doing well. Megan we'll look forward to seeing you getting back on the truck project, it sounds like you have a great group of people with you down there.

 

Best wishes on a speedy recovery. It sounds like she has a pretty good friend in Matt.

 

Megan, Our thoughts and prayers are with you.


I refuse to put seatbelts in my roadster. It would be as stupid as putting them on your Harley! If you roll over you will not have a chance. Thank God Megan had that chance. With belts she would not.

This is not a seatbelt vs no seatblet thread. Start a different thread for that. PERIOD

 

Megan, I'm sorry you had to experience that, but damned glad yer ok! Matt, you too! I can only imagine how f'd up that was to witness.

Best of it all to both of you as you pull thru this...just glad you'll be ok.

(btw...good to meet you in Columbus, brief as it was)

 

prayers from california, hot rod angels ride with us all.

 

my prayers today are for megan and matt and their families in this difficult time.

megan - i hope that the reports from your hospital room remain positive and that your spleen and ribs heal well and quickly.

 

They both sound really tough, take it easy for a while. Thoughts and prayers to y'all and your families.

 

FYI... my thoughtful pops, Petejoe, had a great idea! He is having flowers sent to Megan's room and asked the florist to print out all the HAMB posts to include with the delivery. And the florist actually agreed to it!! How cool is that?!!! So Matt and Megan will be able to read all your well wishes soon. Now don't go and visit her and ruin the surprise!!!

 

After seeing the pictures of the T Megan is one lucky girl!!!! I to am hoping the best for a fast recovery for both Matt and Megan. What a scary deal.
Its even harder being far from home like that on both the patient and the family! Hopefully it will be a short stay and everyone will be home soon.

 

Magen,

I hope and pray that you get well soon.

Peace be with you.
