steady and thorough surgeons, and the strength and courage
to press on ~~especially in this difficult time~~ with Faith, Healing,
and Love from God, Our Father in Heaven.

tautog 10-28-2009 10:19 AM

my thoughts are with you and the family

WoodyCT 10-28-2009 11:04 AM

My heart sank
 
when you said he has 2 little boys.

Thoughts and prayers for as full a recovery as possible, and for those boys to not lose their dad.

Saltheart 10-28-2009 11:49 AM

I hope he recovers soon. Just lucky he's alive.


I know some people love them but IMO motorcycles are too dangerous. I road on once and decided I would never get on another one again...and I never did.

piemma 10-28-2009 11:51 AM

Thanks again guys.

He had another operation this morning and they took some more of the left leg. Apparently they need to cut it back so they had enough skin to wrap and make a cap over the stump. Really horrible stuff to hear about but we are all men.
He came out of it well and they will operate again on Friday morning to see if they can save the left arm. Right now they have his arm wrapped up like a mummy.

I want you guys to know how much I appreciate the thoughts and prayers. I am sure that you prayers are keeping Butch alive and helping him survive this ordeal.

Sea Dangles 10-28-2009 12:12 PM

Good Luck to your family Paul. Terrible incident for Butch and the kids.

redlite 10-28-2009 02:04 PM

Man, that sucks.
Bikers seem to be gettin whacked like crazy lately. About a month ago watched a guy die in Kingston center after a lady cut him off and he t-boned her. The other night comin back from fishin down the canal way there was a guy laying in the middle of the road where 25 and 195 meet after dumpin his bike. Another guy died the other day down in Cranston.
I got hit a few years ago and was lucky. Still ride though.
Hope he survives and is able to live some type of adjusted lifestyle with his family.

Joe 10-28-2009 02:36 PM

Man that's freaking terrible. Too many bad drivers and not enough open road around here for motorcycles.

tynan19 10-28-2009 04:53 PM

Prayers sent Paul! Our thoughts are with him and family.

Fish On 10-28-2009 09:23 PM

Warm thoughts for Butch and the kids.

jimmy z 10-29-2009 07:16 AM

I am very sorry to hear of this unfortunate situation. I will keep him, as well as you and the family lifted up in prayer, at this time.
God bless you all!

BigBo 10-29-2009 07:30 AM

Paul. I will keep Butch in my prayers.
Me and the rest of my siblings (two brothers and one sister) all ride. My closest brother just went through this same thing just five years ago. A young woman texting cut him off. He also lost a leg in that accident.
What sucks is all the time that he spent in Iraq (the first time around), he never got barley a scratch. Then he gets it from home and worst of all, because someone is texting on their cell phone putting others lives in peril.
I wish a speedy recovery for Butch and his family.

Circlehook 10-29-2009 01:05 PM

I lost a good friend 3 years ago on a bike. People need to pay way more attention to bikes when driving. T's and P's.

Slipknot 10-29-2009 08:43 PM

:( wow that is awful
I will keep Butch in my thoughts and wish him the best under the circumstances.

sean curry 10-30-2009 05:49 AM

Paul,

Wishing your brother and your family strength in this difficult time.

Sean

numbskull 10-30-2009 08:17 AM

I hope it goes well for him today and they can save the arm.

piemma 10-30-2009 12:48 PM

Still in surgery. I'll let you guys know when I know something.

Nebe 10-30-2009 01:06 PM

Islander77 10-30-2009 01:45 PM

Paul still praying for your BIL I hope he comes thru all this... And people dont blame the bike for drunk/ careless/ or inconsiderate drivers... I know when I get on a bike im always super focused on the vehicles around me... wish it was same the other way around... As I said Paul I will continue my prayers for him untill he is recovered..

piemma 10-30-2009 02:31 PM

OK, just got off the phone with my brother. The Docs have saved Butch's arm. Lost a couple of fingers but the arm will be ok. He had 7 hours of surgery on the arm.

I would truly like to thank my extended family (SB.Com) for staying with me through this ordeal. You guys (and gals) are the absolute best bunch of people I have ever had the honor of calling my friends.

Great news Paul, let us know if we can help out in anyway.
