That was a terrible accident. I wish him well.

He can. They hope to move him from the hospital to inpatient physical therapy within a week. He'll be there for several months at least.

Horrible floods in the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany. The massive flooding that hit western Germany has killed at least 103 people and wiped out several houses. https://www.dw.com/en/death-toll-climbs-in-western-germany-flooding-live-updates/a-58284256

The devastation is enormous. Thousands of people are still missing. I fear that we'll see more of these freak weather conditions in the future, caused by climate changes.

How has he been progressing over the week?

He did great the first day. Now he's slowed down a lot and I think is very low about poor progress.

My brother was in a terrible accident today. He rolled his truck four times. Broken neck, broken back, broken sternum, and broken ribs. Every airbag deployed except his.
Horrifying! I've only just seen this. What news?
