Default Re: Prayers needed

After many sleepless and worrisome nights, and several miles to/from the hospital, I wanted to drop a note of "thanks" in here, as well as an update...

The younger brother, Mark, spent about a month in the hospital, and is recovering from neck & back injuries [surgeries], as well as the usual cuts/scrapes/bruises. He's in a back brace for a while, and he's had some small issues pop up [ex: the hearing in one of his ear's is gone], but he's home finally.

The older brother, Kevin, spent 6+ weeks in the hospital, and was in a coma for 5 weeks of that time with a severe brain injury...part of his skull had to be removed due to cranial pressure, he has road rash all over, as well as a broken shoulder. He was home a couple weeks before returning yesterday for surgery to reinsert the piece of his skull they removed, but is [amazingly] supposed to be home this evening or tomorrow. He's walking & talking, and just showing minute signs of severe brain trauma [some memory loss, speech, balance, etc] but therapy is working on that...the only things left are the surgeries to repair his broken/crushed facial bones [can't breathe out nose, hurts to chew].

They're both a long, LONG ways from where they were just a couple months ago when they were both fighting for their lives, but now they're just trying to get their strength back after dropping down to nearly 100lbs each...but that's a task our community is more than glad to have, and is willing to do something about! LOL!!

Thanks again...
