The Nightmare
We received word last night that our daughter's boyfriend was assaulted in Key West, and flown to a Miami trauma center. We don't know where our girl is, and nobody has seen or heard from her. We don't know where in Key West they were at the time. He is in a medically induced coma and can provide no information at this time.
This is a nightmare we wouldn't wish upon anyone, as any good parent would tell you.
It's hard to keep calm in a situation like this, but we are hours away and unable to travel, so we have no choice but to sit and wait until his family arrives, and the police try to get whatever information they can. Missing Persons report has been filed.
Hug your children tight, and let them know you love them. Today.
Right now.
Well this is horrifying. Please update in Reply.

Our daughter was finally able to get a message to us, and she is fine. Boyfriend is in critical condition, and now there seems to be some discrepancies in the information about what happened... Seems he was brought to the hospital initially by ambulance, and the EMTs that were on the scene were told that the injury was a result of a witnessed fall, possibly due to a seizure. Head injuries seem consistent with that... so now we just wait and see how he does. Recovery is going to be a long road for him, but for now, he's stable. Thanks!
