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

Posted on 11/07/2014 3:01:52 PM PST by 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.

Blessing to all of you and thanks be to God. He does help if we take the time to ask and give Him the glory. You all will love the Dripping Springs area. Just another one of the awesome places in Texas and I have heard great things about the Rehab facility. I’m convinced God made us become more stubborn as we get older because it does help us deal with all the problems of aging.

How wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing his progress. I’d hoped we’d hear word of him soon. He’s been missed around FR, especially his gardening successes. Seems he always had the first tomatoes. Maybe he could have a little window herb garden in his room he could tend, smell and nibble on.

Sending him hugs.

Seems like it is a long road to recovery but progress is being made and recovery it is! Thank God!

He is very blessed to have the family’s love and support and the support and love of other friends as well.

More prayers for John and his family.
