      I have had a broken neck. I had to have the bone replaced. I am praying for the family. I can't say the recovery was "complete" I did work after as a teacher. But construction might be a bit much. There is still a lot of pain there are tendons and muscles involved as well. I hope someone gets them a go fund me or something sound like they will need a long recovery.

    Poor kid didn't know if he would reach help in time to save his parents. That's a lot of pressure on a kid. But, he didn't give up and try to stay and comfortthem. He's definitely a hero.

    I hope people are supporting him after such a traumatizing event. He saved his parents by getting help, but those ten minutes sound like they were very long and terrifying. Even just having to dodge lightning while it's the only light you can see by is terrifying in and of itself, much less if you've just been through a car accident and a tornado and both your parents are hurt and there are no other adults to help you. Someone should help him work through all the feelings he probably has about that event. Trauma endured during childhood can affect someone's physical health for their entire life, as well as their life expectancy.
