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.
Big prayers and birthday wishes for Arrowhead1952, and for his wonderful wife Linda.
Prayers up. Thanks for letting us know.
I’m always concerned when a poster stops posting suddenly.
Prayers up for John and for Lisa.

May GOD’s healing power be manifested in this situation!

Kathy, thank you for the reminder to send cards to Arrowhead1952.
I can’t believe almost two months have gone by since the last update. This primary season has been so important to our country.
Anyone who needs Arrowhead1952’s home address, give Kathy a private email and she will provide it for you.
John’s fall was almost a year and a half ago now—he’ll be happy to know his Freeper Family has not forgotten him.
Prayers continue.
Thank you Kathy, you’re one of a kind. A good kind. Have the envelope ready.
Prayers lifted for Arrowhead and his family.
Prayers up...
Prayers on the way.
Prayers and hugs. We miss him in the Hill Country.
