Please keep Steve Reigle and his family in your thoughts and prayers. As many of you have heard Steve's car made a violent move past the finish line and rolled multiple times. Steve was alert when the Life Flight crew took him to OSU Medical Center. The latest that I know is that he is scheduled for surgery in the morning. He had severe injuries to his left arm. As I know more, and can share, we will.

The latest information is that arm is broken in three places and a broken vertebrae. ( I do not know what vertebrae).

The latest update from Michelle Reigle on Steve's condition. : the neuro doctor was in a few minutes ago. He will have the MRI today and get a turtle shell brace for his back. He will be in that for 6 to 8 weeks. He's been taken off all his fluids and iv..

The latest news from Michelle this morning , " Thank you all! Steve will be having an mri this morning to evaluate compression fracture. He is very sore but they aren't stingy with the pain meds. He is expected to make a near 100% recovery."

Steve is resting and will have surgery in the morning on his arm. Still no word on the vertebrae situation. Thank you to all who helped extract him from the car and helped keep me calm and for taking care of our son. We know this is a risk we take each and every time we strap ourselves into a car and we're very thankful the safety equipment did it's job.
