      Today, Wes is still in the Trauma/Intensive care unit. He is pretty well sedated, on heavy pain meds. to make it easier for him to exercise his lungs. We were informed this morning he actually has 7 broken ribs on the same side so exercising his lungs is a painful task. We all know how Wes is though and he is doing great trying to master the art of using the breathing machine to get full benefit.  Tests are on-going and not a lot of change. Baby steps. At this time, Visitors are not encouraged as Wes is in the ICU and needs his rest. I will continue to update each day to let you know when he is in a regular room. thank you for continuing to send your support messages to him. You are all so much appreciated.  Sandra

      Yesterday, January 2nd at 4:30 p.m. Wesley Boswell was involved in a bad car accident on Hwy 49 near Placerville, CA. His car left the road at a hairpin turn, traveling down a steep hillside and hitting a tree. The impact was significant and Wes was pinned in the car. The Fire Dept. used the Jaws of Life to cut him out of his car and he was air lifted to an Intensive care/Trauma Center near Sacramento. Wes has several injuries including some head injury, 6 broken ribs and a fractured pelvis. Last night we did not know what the outcome would be for Wes, it’s been a very sad and stressful time. After seeing the wreckage of his car today, I know for a fact that God had a hand in saving his life. The doctors and nurses have been working with him, running tests and x-rays to get a handle on his condition. Today, Wes has been talking with us and tonight he was eating. The pain meds are helping him and he is resting in comfort. Wes is a strong man and we believe he will recover faster than most. He is aware of the outpouring of love and support from our karting family and we are beyond appreciative. All of your messages are comforting to us during this time. We love you all and thank you. Sandra
