Title: What's really important (update in last post)
Post by: 30coupe on November 10, 2008, 11:24:00 PM
Yesterday and this morning I was on a hunting high after taking a nice doe.

This afternoon it all came crashing down as I got a call at work from my wife. Our son-in-law was critically injured when the Terragator he was driving dropped a back wheel into the ditch and rolled, ejecting him and landing on top of him. He has been air lifted to Mayo Clinic where he is in intensive care with a fractured collar bone, fractured ribs, collapsed lung, crushed pelvis and a large bump on the side of his head. They are still evaluating him and are concerned about bleeding in his lower abdomen and the possibility of neck injury.

My daughter is bearing up well and our grandson is with us. We know Josh will have a long recover, and we pray he is able to recover.

As much as I love archery and hunting, this certainly brings home what is really important...one's family.

PRayers here added to others. May God wrap your SIL and your daughter and grandson, and your entire family, in the Holy Spirit's presence to keep peace, hope and love ever present among all who love you son-in-law.

May the medical community by empowered by the Great Physician to help, find and fix all that is needed and then through prayers, that God will heal what the doctor's cannot...

Keep the Son in your eyes!

Thanks again. Josh is in surgery right now to try to repair his pelvis. I am at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, MN. They have computers available in the waiting room. Keeps me sane!

The nurse just came in adn said they started surgery at 7:50 a.m. Now it's just wait and hope.

Well, Josh came home (almost) yesterday. He has to stay at his granparents for a few months because their house is handicap accessible. He will be bed to chair/wheel chair only for three months, then he gets to learn to walk again. At least he is still with us!

Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. We truly have much to be thankful for today!

Praises of thanksgiving for such a good outcome to date.  Whatever else the Lord has in store for Josh, as you said, "he's still with you!"

May our God of Mercy and love find it within His will to see Josh fully recovered, and through his struggles minister to him and you all to bring peace adn joy, and strength!
