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.
airbags!
I am pretty sure it was Kathy in Alaska who was in contact with him.
It was Kathy. :)
Airbags would help but still......
Thank you - LuvW sent a freepmail to me explaining -
Prayers sent.

DUDEE get well Arrowhead
I pray that with the neurologist’s care you will regain all that you need to. God bless.
I pray dear Father God in Jesus’ Name for John. I pray in Jesus’ Name and especially for the sake of your glorification that in Jesus’ Holy Name, the Name of Your Son who gave His life for John that he might live, for a complete and miraculous cure for John. Lord may You be manifested and magnified. Hallelujah, Amen
What a suffering. I will join you all in prayer.
Prayers up.
I cracked my egg 10 years ago in an auto wreck. Learned to take lots of naps (sort of had no option). The brain repairs itself when you sleep.
Prayers up.
Thanks for the heads-up, Meg. He has been added to my prayer list.
I’m praying Big-Time.
just saw this and P R A Y E R S U P
Prayers indeed for a Freeper in need! May God heal and restore him, giving peace to his family.
Thanks, Geron...yes, I did send out the FReepmail last night to let my ping lists know that he was in ICU and then just recently sent to a neurological rehab center. I suspect it will be a while before he can have visitors.
After several of us began wondering why he hadn’t posted we started looking around and I found a phone number. I called it, it was his home, and I talked to his daughter.
She will keep me informed of his progress. His fall from 20’ resulted in a devastating brain injury. It is way too early for a prognosis....it could be 3 to 6 months for healing.
We must pray, and pray hard, that The Lord will shine His light upon Arrowhead (John) and help heal him. John has a lot of people praying for him and he is going to have to work very hard to recover. Praying also for his family.
Sorry for multiple pings as I’m using several lists.
Just finished saying the rosary, and remembered you in my prayers. God bless.
BTTT for more prayers
Dear Prayer warriors,
My sincere apologies if you have already been pinged to this prayer request, but please pray for Our FRiend John, who suffered a terrible brain injury and needs some serious prayer.
Thank You for praying.
