Take A Look For Yourself...
Several pictures have been uploaded of Nathan in his hospital bed, as well as photos of the crash site. I'll post one or two below, but to see the entire album, I will post a link, as well.
Before you browse the pictures, I want to warn you: a few of them are quite graphic and show a lot of the work the doctors are using to heal his injuries. There is a bit of blood in a couple pictures, lots of bruises, and they show Nathan in bed with tubes connected to his body. As described in a previous entry, the metal bar that is around his waist holding his pelvis together is pictured, and the swelling on his left side of the body is shown. Since then, much of the bruising and swelling has subsided.
Understand this, though: Nathan's getting better each and every day. The mood at the hospital amongst his friends is not gloomy, as a matter of fact, it's quite the opposite. We're very upbeat and positive, and while he's bitching about nurses and an uncomfortable sleeping arrangement, his spirits are high. Even though the pictures paint a scene that is extremely serious, the reality is that it's not as bad as it appears.
Also, you'll notice when you follow the link below, there is a second picture album of the crash site. When browsing the pictures, notice the straight skid mark along the road where he obviously tried to stop. The fence was where he landed, and the debris on the ground was (obviously) from his motorcycle.
According to the police report, Nathan flew into the fence, while his bike became airborne and landed on the other side of the fence you see in the pictures.
Keep him in your prayers. If you don't pray, then think of him over a beer.
Follow this link for the pictures.
Note: The tube in his mouth has since been removed by Nate, himself. This led to his right arm being, literally, tied to the bed. But, knowing Nate, we can't be too surprised, right? The tube has since been replaced with a mask.
