Wiley was in a serious skateboarding accident this afternoon. He took a hard fall, fracturing his skull and causing an unknown level of injury to his brain. His cousin Tyler was with him and quickly placed a 911 call, so thanks to Tyler, he got help just as quickly as possible.
Wiley is just coming out of surgery now; the surgeons have "elevated" a piece of his skull to give them access to a blood clot identified by CT (and possibly to alleviate the effects of swelling, though that is a bit fuzzy). The skull piece will remain elevated for 5-6 days. His prognosis is unclear, and I/we really don't know more than that as yet. More info may be available from the surgeon tonight. Wiley's to be admitted to the ICU at Memorial Hospital in Santa Rosa.
Tim and Nancy keep reminding themselves and everyone waiting tense and red-eyed that he is the "butter side up" kid, and they have to trust he will stay true to form.
I'll let you know if there is more information available. Meanwhile, prayers will have to do.
