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.

Praise God that he is recognizing names—Freeper names, yet! That is wonderful!

I will continue to lift John up to the Great Physician, our Jehovah Rapha, for his continued healing. Praying also for John’s family, that they find comfort and strength through the Word of the Lord and rest in His promises.

This is one of my favorite verses:

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30 (NASB)

Thank you, Kathy, for the update!

Thank you for the update, very encouraging. He would not recognize my name as I am not very active on the forum, mostly prayer groups, though I read FR everyday but let him know we pray for his full healing every day. FRiend Arrowhead1952, God bless you!

That is good to hear.
There are FReepers I have met face to face several times that I still have trouble with remembering their real names.
