sobering

thursday morning our good friend kirk was involved in a fog related crash on hwy 151 just past barneveld. he was on his way work when a semi pulled out across the west bound lanes. kirk didn't have a chance to stop and drove underneath the trailer at presumably full speed. the top of his car was completely torn away and he suffered a very severe brain injury and is currently in the icu at uw hospital in a coma.

we are very sad for kirk, peggy and axel. we met them at baby classes at meriter hospital and have been good friends since. while the prognosis isn't great, i'm banking on the fact that kirk will recover. he is a former badger hockey goalie (4 year starter in the '90s) and the requisite reaction time needed to be an elite goalie probably saved his life (he ducked the instant before impact).

please, if you have a spare positive thought and/or prayer, could you send it their way?
