He was riding his motorcycle by his house in Arkansas and was kicked in the head by a deer.
I guess what happened was that a deer jumped out in front of him, then tried to jump over the motorcycle and kicked him in the head in the process. With Arkansas not having a helmet law, he was not wearing one. He was thrown from his bike and into a ditch hitting his head a few times.
After a few frantic phone calls with the wife and family, we found that he is going to be fine (all things considered). The CT and MRI both came back negative for fluid on the brain, or any abnormal brain functions (as of right now). He broke 4 or 5 of the bones in his face, and will have to go through a few re-constructive surgeries to get everything fixed. He also got a few teeth knocked out and broke his jaw (and will need another surgery for that). One really crazy thing is that he never lost consciousnesses, and was coherent enough to be able to tell the medics his wife's cell number. Isn't adrenaline an amazing hormone?
Will be going out to the patio tonight and smoking a good one. Things like this just make you realize how fast someone you really care about can be gone in an instant.
