Freeper Arrowhead1952 needs prayers [update at 401, 440, 473,503,565,606, 628,654,701]
Prayer email | 11/07/2014 | WhyisaTexasgirlinPA

Arrowhead (John) fell off a 20’ ladder at work, onto his head, and has a severe brain injury!

Broke all the bones in his face and skull, broke his shoulder blade and some ribs.

His last post was 10/20 in the morning. He fell about 2pm that same day and was LifeFlighted to the hospital; then, after about 6 hours of surgery, he went directly to ICU. It was touch and go for days in critical condition.

After 2 weeks in ICU he has been transferred to a Specialty Neurological Rehab center in Austin, as of 11/3.

He can move his arms and legs, so no spinal injury, but he is not cognizant. Sometimes he can respond to “can you squeeze my hand?”, sometimes not. His daughter is getting ready to go back home.

The nurses are calling them every day. Small improvements are noticed, such as he sat up for 10 seconds today, but no one has a prognosis. Brain injuries heal how they heal, when the heal, if they heal....3 to 6 months at least.

PRAY HARD, please!!!! And spread the word to your prayer lists.

Hope things improve; I had a bad fall about 10 yrs ago and the doctors kept telling me I was lucky - I should have believed them.

Hopes and prayers with John.

20 feet is a lot higher than I would go on a ladder, I get nervous when I’m about 6 feet up. Changing the outside bulb on the back of the house is not something I look forward to, and I just know it’ll happen sooner than later.
