Hello friends.
I come to you this morning requesting prayer for my brother-in-law, Chance. Apparently something happened to him this morning between the time he left for work and 8:30 am. They are suspecting a fall of some sort. He called Erika around 8:30 and was not making any sense and was unable to recall anything from the morning. She quickly got him and took him to the local hospital. He has some trauma to both the front and back of his head. We suspect he hit the front of his head on something, causing him to pass out and fall and hit the back of his head. He has had a CT scan at the local hospital and it shows some bleeding in his brain. He is awake and aware of what is going on but unable to recall any events of the morning. They will be transporting him to a larger hospital in Pensacola, FL because he needs to be seen by a neurosurgeon. At this point they are waiting for an ambulance and the weather is horrible. Erika will not be able to ride in the ambulance with him. Please pray for God's hand to be on this situation, for Chance's healing and for peace that only He can bring.
We covet your prayers.
***the weather is really bad... tornado warnings. The ambulance is there at the hospital but they are talking about a closer hospital than Pensacola. They will not fly the helicopter with tornados. E is praying to get him to Pensacola. Please pray that with us.
I will praying for God to have his hands on both Erika and Chance. I hate that they are going through this difficult time. I love you all!
ReplyDeleteDarby - You and your sister are both so precious. I stalk both of your blogs and we do have a friendor two in common. I am so shaken by your news this morning.
