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.

I agree, onyx...sounds like solid forward progress.

I don’t know much about head and brain injuries, but I think there is swelling with the injury. Hoping that that is getting better and will help lead him back. He is sure trying!

I don’t know much either, and I can’t ask my DrO.
:(
But, you’re right, it sure sounds promising and most certainly sounds like he’s making wonderful progress on his very own!!!

God bless him and everyone here.

We will keep praying.

Nos prières à Dieu augmentent pour votre reprise continue et également pour votre famille.
(Our Prayers to God increase for your continued recovery and also for your family.)

Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c’est à Toi qu’appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

This is very encouraging. His wanting to talk, and wanting to help the nurses is a sign of mental/attitudinal strength, a large part of the battle. The words and actions will come in time. God bless.
