UPDATE: Ian Tocher remains in stable condition at UNC Medical Center's Trauma Unit in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and is still sedated. Ian lost a lot of blood, but they have stopped all internal bleeding and no major internal organs were hit. No head or heart trauma to report. The primary concern right now is a very serious, potentially life-threatening "open book" pelvis injury, which means that it has been flattened. Another surgery is set for tomorrow to address his leg, which is broken in multiple places and, basically, in really bad shape. Blood flow remains good to his ankles, though, so we are hopeful. He also has a broken vertebrae somewhere. Sue and Robert, Ian's wife and 12-year-old son, remain strong and positive and, again, are very appreciative of all the support. Sue told me that the surgeon working on Ian's pelvis has 20-years of experience dealing with injuries like this. So, that's encouraging, too. The big laceration is still an issue, so the doctors and nurses are constantly dealing with that as it was/is packed with dirt and debris. Please keep Ian and his family in your thoughts and prayers. For those that don't know, Ian played highly-competitive hockey sometimes as often as three nights a week. We're lucky he's a big, strong, tough guy. - Wes Buck
