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.

Thanks so much for the update, Kathy.

Time to send a birthday card to our friend, Arrowhead 1952.
He fell 15 months ago—this has been such a long haul.

BTTT for John—freepmail Kathy for his home address.

Let’s give his postman a workout!!!

Lord God Jesus Christ, give, we beseech Thee, the necessary strength to Thy servant and restore his health.

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

Pinging the Weekly Garden Thread List. Sorry to be pinging again, but I just noticed this update from Kathy last Friday on Arrowhead1952’s status. I should have included in on the weekly post. I’m not sure exactly how to link directly to the post.

Prayers up for his recovery and strength for his family, and Best wishes for his Birthday are requested. Sorry for the delay in notification.

Praying for John, his wife & daughter. I had been praying for Arrowhead (& later, Arrow. . .it’s been the kind of year that cleans your clock all around)- but this is the first time I’ve actually known what to pray *for*.

What a journey.

Thank you, greeneyes, for the ping.

Tomorrow is John/ Arrowhead’s birthday, so I’ll look for the funniest Belated card I can find.
