history:  I had a dear friend end up the hospital after getting into a bicycling accident. It was a scary time. My friend ended up in the hospital after an accident a few weeks ago_comma_ there was a period of time they didn't know if he'd make it. Oh no_comma_ what a sad and scary situation. How are they now?
current: He is okay now, just dealing with a head injury and some broken bones. But yes, it was very scary. I didn't sleep for days.
next: I can't imagine how hard that must have been. I'm glad he is doing better!
