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.

Falls at work are something I worry about all the time as I am in construction.

I received this email from Arrowhead's daughter this morning....(with a little editing for privacy)

Thanks so much for letting me know - we are so touched, and can use all of the prayers we can get.

As far as sending cards, that is so sweet. We don't know if the rehab hospital receives mail for the patients, so it can be be sent to our home and my mom will take them to my dad (as she goes to visit my dad in rehab about every day.)

Please pass on how grateful we are for all of the love and support. Also - if anyone is interested in possibly visiting him, can you have them contact me at xxxxxxxxx? The doctors say that visitors over the next couple of months are going to be a key part of his recovery, so I have a visitation document & calendar that I can send to anyone who is interested.

I won't post their address or his daughter's email addy online.

Please send me a FReepmail and I will give them to anyone who is interested in sending cards or can visit.

Thanks, Everyone!!

He is going to need lots of prayers for many months.

I’m so happy that he can have visitors and that we have FReepers close enough to visit. AWESOME!
