Hugh Boyle: Injured Motorcyclist Is Still in Critical Condition, Now Has Pneumonia But Fever Easing At Evening's End


(June 30, 2010) -- Hugh Boyle, who sustained very serious injuries in a June 21 motorcycle crash at Palo Verde/Stearns, remains in critical condition and now has pneumonia, but his fever was easing at evening's end (June 29).

In her latest online blog dispatch (June 29), wife Shelley Boyle writes in part:

...Hugh now has pneumonia. I was expecting this with the amount of fluids in his lungs. We also found out his left knee has a femoral head fracture, soft tissue damage and torn ligaments. At this point we are wondering what is NOT broken?...His fever is still running. 103 was the highest today, that's even with the ice/cold water blanket thingy ice packs, Tylenol etc. However, was down to 101 when I left...

And in her daily note to Hugh:

...Sweetheart, you were so peaceful today and tonight. That made me feel so at ease because I know you were "resting". I love you, I need you, I want you home. I am scared still and my throat is welling up, you know that knot thing inside, but for some reason tears aren't coming out. I wonder if you run out of tears? Sometimes I can't cry, and not sure why. Like today, I welled up, but then couldn't cry. Goodnight sweetheart, I pray tonight you rest comfortably. I miss you terribly xoxoxoxox

Ms. Boyle's dispatches also include a link inviting those "so inclined to help with medical expenses, etc." via a donate/click button. To access her blog page, click here.

On June 28, an LBPD spokesperson indicated that no one has been cited in the Palo Verde/Stearns collision and the Department's involvement is pretty much concluded at this point.

On Saturday June 26, friends of Hugh and Shelley organized a grassroots garage sale to help with expenses. LBReport.com provided in extended coverage (photos and a live webcast); a least one Los Angeles media outlet (KFI radio) picked up the story on that day.

LBReport.com plans to continue following this story.
