Prayers please.

Update - My father in law (David) is in Salt lake, Utah at the University hospital now. They found another broken vertebrae in his neck, so his C5 and C6 are both broke, one of which caused the damage in an artery and has a blood clot, they are using blood thinners to attempt to dissolve it slowly without breaking it loose and causing a stroke. In addition they found another broken vertebrae in his lower back. His pelvis is broken, but stable. His head is stitched up and being monitored for infection. His knee is sore, but seems like it will be alright. The main thing now is making sure he is watched closely in case the clot breaks loose, and keeping the three broken vertebrae stable so they don't cause further damage. He will be in the hospital for at least several more days.

Thank you everyone.

Praise God

We are all praying for him, but more praying never hurts. Thank you everyone, and God bless.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Matthew 5:9

Prayers offered up for your Father In Law, brother. For you, your wife and family, too.

I was looking for searching for 280 ammo information and saw this. Praying for him and your family.

Praying for David and the medical personal taking care of him. This is really serious; David not only needs prayers but exceptional Medical Care. We also pray for the medical personal to have a helping hand from God so they make the correct treatment!
Hope that his injuries heal fast and eventually pain free & back to enjoying like with his family.
God Bless
Len & Jill

Update - they decided that his vertebrae were stable enough to not need surgery, and to send him home with a neck brace, that he must wear for the next 3-4 months, and go to physical therapy in that time for his pelvis fracture, and hopefully get him walking better. He is on an aspirin regimen to lower the risk of stroke, but he is still at somewhat of a risk of stroke for about the next three months from the clot, so we will be watching him closely for common signs during that time.

So, we have him home, and will continue the healing process. As would be expected of a guy as tough as he is, he isn't much of a homebody, and already was wanting to go mess with his horses, but compromised with simply petting and loving on Arthur, the horse that got him out of the mountains. It's gonna be a struggle to keep him pinned down the way the doctors want him to be, but we will just keep reminding him what is at stake if he doesn't follow their direction. We are so happy and blessed he made it to this point, we have seen and felt all the prayers from everyone and they have truly made a difference. Words can't express how grateful we are! Thank you everyone. At this point, we will just keep moving forward, one small step at a time.

So glad to hear this! I hope he continues to recover well!

Awesome news! Best wishes on a speedy recovery! He may not be a homebody, but I bet it feels darn good to be HOME with family.
