We have a friend who is in the hospital with severe injuries resulting from an airplane accident. After the accident, we got an e-mail from a mutual friend giving us a link to the following site...

Our friend has his own pages in this site, one for updates on his condition (kindly provided by his sister), another for messages to our friend from his friends and loved ones, and another for pictures.

I don't know if any other Mudcatters have had any experiences with this service, but it certainly has helped us with the experience of our friend, and I know it has been a great benefit for him and his family.

Since Mudcatters from time to time find ourselves needing to stay informed about other Mudcatters or their families in the hospital, and even get some moral support and stay in touch with friends and loved ones when we ourselves are in the hospital, I thought I would mention this service for anyone who might benefit from it now or at any time in the future.

Here's their "about" page...
