Just a word for a friend

[sanddrag]

When I went to my graduation this evening, I was a bit surprised to find my friend Areg not in attendance. I soon learned that he had been involved in a serious accident two days ago. As far as I know, he was driving when a tire blew out, he lost control, and slammed into a telephone pole. His skull was fractured and he was severely injured. He was unconcious when they pulled him from the car. Just this morning he got off the respirator but he is still unable to speak. While they expect him to recover, there is not word on if he will fully recover. He could have been killed. Although he was not directly involved with FIRST, I'd appreciate if everyone here could just say a quick word for him.
