Praise God! Sam (Haupt) is home from the hospital! Let me back up a few days...on Tuesday, after school, John Shipe and Sam were riding their bikes to their friend, Ryans house. On the way , there was a very serious bike accident. On Brighton Road, Sam went over a guardrail and was injured very badly. His chest and hip, along with a few other places were bleeding profusely. Immediately, John applied first aid. (John earned his first aid merit badge in scouts a few years ago.) Grabbing a t-shirt from his backpack, John made a tourniquet for Sams chest. He also attended to the other deep wounds. (The surgeon later said that the gash on Sams chest is 18 inches long and as deep as his ribs. And the one on his hip is 8 inches long and 2 inches deep.) Sam lost a lot of blood. After John dealt with the initial wounds, he called 911 and Sams mom (Terri Grancey Haupt) to explain what happened to Sam. Then, he asked a very generous young man to drive to Terris house to bring her to the ambulance. And,Terri was able to ride with Sam to the hospital. At childrens hospital, Sam had CT scans followed by surgery to clean him up and ensure all organs were unharmed. (None were) I am so amazed and PROUD of my son, John. It honestly brings tears to my eyes to think of how he cared for his friend~and made sure his mom was there too! He was calm and productive in a very dangerous situation. Please keep Sam, his family and John in your prayers. Thanks.
