Onyx's husband fell thru a glass door and severed an artery in his arm this morning. He almost bled to death while waiting for 911 to come, but they made it.
They've been at the hospital since noon, with him in and out of surgery. They are back in surgery now, with 3 surgeons trying to repair a lot of torn and severed veins and archeries. He's lost a lot of blood, they've given him 6 pints so far.
It's very complicated, but those are the basics.
I'm so glad things are working out.
I did a similar thing to my left wrist at 5 years old as I put the hand through a glass door by accident.
I can relate, including how easy it was to loose lots of blood.
As a little kid they refused to give me pain medicine because of the danger with blood loss and I remember 5 nurses holding me down as they worked on me while I was in some horrific pain.
It's a horrible accident to have happen and I hope in a couple of months it is a faded memory and that the nerves in the arm and muscles all heal well.
God Bless them and this is a great example of how older windows without safety glass are very dangerous to not change out.
I certainly know where I'll go if there is ever a crucial situation here that needs immediate prayers. FReepers are amazing.
Prayers up for Mr and MRS Onyx. What a scary situation!
May the Lord give him a full healing, and may there be only calm and sunny days ahead for both of them!
Thanking God everything is okay. Praying for a full and speedy recovery.
