How did this happen?

On Wednesday November 11th at approximately 12:00 midnight Mikey was traveling westbound on Rock Ridge road in route to Dade City when he lost control of his 1999 Toyota Corolla and swerved into the path of an oncoming truck, taking a significant impact on the passenger side of the vehicle. The driver of the other vehicle was relatively unharmed; he had minor cuts. Luckily he was wearing his seat-belt; highway patrolmen said that if he had not been wearing his belt he would have not survived the impact. Mikey was rushed to Lakeland Regional Medical Center where he received several pints of blood that he lost as a result to a large cut on his head. Though he was not conscious, he continued breathing which ultimately has saved him from sustaining any brain damage. He was put into a medically induced coma in order to keep him calm and stable. During this time he was also put on a ventilator to assist him with his breathing. Those first few hours in the ER were harrowing, not knowing whether or not he would make it but after several hours we received word that he had stabilized and was stable but still in critical condition.
