CJ (my cousin) is hurt

I found out tonight at 8:30pm that my cousin CJ was in a ski accident today (ok...yesterday, Tuesday, since it is now 1am Wednesday). He hit a tree. I don't know anything other than that they flew him to Denver for surgery. It makes me wonder where he was skiing. Either he was extremely hurt (You are thinking: Duh! He hit a tree!) and that was the hospital with the specialists and medical equipment that he needed, or that was the closest trauma center and he was skiing in Colorado. I say this only because my cousin lives in southern Illinois. Denver seems to me to be a long way to fly him for surgery. They want a parent there tonight (he isn't THAT young), but I guess Aunt Carol can't get a flight until tomorrow morning. I just pray that he is ok. I would turn off my cell phone overnight, but I keep wondering if I will get a call or text message in the middle of the night to update me. I figure that I probably won't hear anything unless something really drastic happens, but I don't want to take the chance of missing it. Besides, I am hoping that being prepared for that devastating phone call in the middle of the night means that I won't get one.
