Fell down the steps. Tore his spinal cord. Must have been one hell of a fall.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. Just by falling down the stairs huh.. just freaks me out thinking about that. It's one of those things that people laugh about all the time, but it just slips the mind how serious an injury could be as a result.

Damn Marko. I'm so sorry to hear that. Let's us know if they need anything or if there's going to be a fund to make house accommodations.
