Please no... He's just a kid

Today was a horrible day. I woke up to ther being 6 voice mails on my phone, none of which had anything good.
My brother was involved in a rollover accident. He was hit from the front and the behind flipping the Ford Explorer over. My brother does not remember anything from the accident. He only remebers waking up in the hospital. He has a concussion and his eyes are starting to bruise. The seat belt scraped off the skin on his neck, and hit his abdomen violently. He had a ton of pain with some swelling on his stomache. They rushed him into surgery. The force of the collision ruptured a part of his intestine and lacerated his spleen. They were able to patch both up. He's got a fever and his heart rate is a little fast. Some of the contents of the intestine have gotten into his body and the fever tells us he is fighting a bit of an infection.
I don't know if he is going to be ok or not. We'll know more by tomorrow. He should make a good recovery if the fever breaks, if it doesn't he can become septic and die. I don't want to loose my baby brother even if we do fight all the time. He's only 20 years old. Young and reckless, but does not deserve to loose his life for it. I'm terrified. I don't think I could bare watching him pass away. Nor do I think my parents could handle it. I hope to god he gets better. The fact that he already has a fever, when he got in the accident around noon, unnerves me. I know how nasty the contents of the intestine are on the body. He's young and healthy so his body should be able to fight it off. Until they say he's going to be fine I'm going to be worried sick. I'm scared and I hate it.
