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.

Kathy, this is great news!

Continued prayers for John and his family.

They are in the thick of it, but they are all hands on deck, to John’s benefit.

Freepers, let’s continue to pray for John and to send cards—freepmail Kathy in Alaska for the address.

It only takes a few minutes and it makes John’s day. It also reminds his wife and family that they are not alone on this journey.

Lord Jesus, bless Thy servant John and guide him back to health.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

May the One who blessed our ancestors --
Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
Matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah --
bless and heal the one who is ill:
John, son of Abraham,
May the Holy Blessed One
overflow with compassion upon him,
to restore him,
to heal him,
to strengthen him,
to enliven him,
The One will send him, speedily,
healing of the soul and healing of the body --
along with all the ill,
among the people of Israel and all humankind,
soon,
speedily,
without delay,
and let us all say: Amen!

The socks - plus he wanted to unfold them and fold them a different way.

Perhaps he was trying to fold his socks the way he has always folded them and that the way the therapist had them was, in his mind, the wrong way. This could be a good thing.

Arrowhead missed it, “the freemason” retread the other day.
Missing his input on the trollfront.
Hope he continues to improve.
