My dear husband of nearly(May3) 40 years was in a car accident on the 26th of Feb. See pics of the car on You Tube. My acct is GramEdge. Two CT scans showed a small bleed but no growth in it. This past Thurs and Fri he has developed a headache and today's MRI shows a hematoma on his brain. It was by the grace of God that two young men heroically pulled him from the burning car after the crash. Please pray that we both would have the courage to face tomorrow continuing to trust the God of the Universe who is sovereign over all. We have 10 precious grandchildren who are worried about grandpa, please pray that their faith will be strenthened. To God be the Glory. Amen.

They can do miraculous things with brain issues these days; my sis had a cerebral abcess 10 years ago, they had to operate and she made a full recovery.
Prayers to you and your family from ours.
I doubt any of this will happen but knowledge is a good thing.....
All of you are in my prayers. God bless.
We may not always understand how God’s providence works, but we see evidences of His blessings all around us, and in our own lives.
Ping to FR Prayer Warriors !
Holy God,
You have allowed this trial for a reason, and we know that You work all things for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purposes. Now let it be, Lord, that You would bring blessings to this couple and their children and grandchildren in the midst of this trial. We pray for the healing and restoration of this precious husband, father, and grandfather, and the peace that only You can provide to his family. Grant them the quiet confidence that comes from fully trusting in Your divine wisdom and providence. We confess that You will take care of everything that concerns them. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and may Your glory shine forth for this family. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Prayer sent up.
Praying for him and your family.
Prayers up!
You and your dear husband are in my prayers, grame.
May God’s grace be with you both as you face this health challenge.
I was just wondering about when to determine, or how to determine that. He is getting worse, no doubt, but where is the line to take him in. He has no nausea, no confusion, and is using an icepack for the headache. He says he feels the pressure building.
Here is a list I found on the net....
Get help if you notice the following symptoms:
Any symptom that is getting worse, such as headaches, nausea or sleepiness
Nausea that doesn’t go away
Changes in behavior, such as irritability or confusion
Dilated pupils (pupils that are bigger than normal) or pupils of different sizes
Trouble walking or speaking
Drainage of bloody or clear fluids from ears or nose
Vomiting
Seizures
Weakness or numbness in the arms or legs
No need to panic just yet my friend. For pain, tylenol only .....asprin and motrin/advil type products are blood thinners.....
You might check every few hours during the night make sure is oriented to year, place, and person.
Didn’t any health care professional give you any of this information about head injuries?
In the mean time keep all of us posted and we are all praying for you....
I’m praying for your hubby and family.
Prayers for both of you. May the Lord’s compassion surround you!
Prayers up for your husband and for your family.
