On Wednesday (6/3) my uncle Mike, age 50, (from Sturgis, MI) fell off a ladder at his job site and was critically injured. He has been unconscious and unresponsive (on a respirator) since the accident. One side of his brain had been pushed into the other side and the 6th cervical vertebrae was fractured. This morning the CT scan shows increased fluid in the base of the brain around the brain stem and surgery is needed to drain that off – this is not a good sign. .... just got an update from one of my aunts in Michigan. The EEG showed no activity at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time today. My aunt Darlene spent individual time with each of the kids and Mike, and then she, the kids, and Mike's family made the decision to have the respirator turned off. [Please pray for the family.] - Sonya
My missionary friend Jenny had a bad accident where she burned her foot with boiling water. Now they just operated her in the Afganistan military hospital and they did skin crafts on her foot. The pain is so bad that no pain killers seem to help her. Today they'll find out if the operation was successful. - Maarti
My son, Aaron, hurt is knee playing softball on Sunday (5/31), went to the orthopedic doctor yesterday and is having surgery late this afternoon (4:30 it is scheduled 6/3) to repair his meniscus. He has a long history of problems with this right knee. Had ACL and meniscus repair 10 years ago when he was just 14 (injured while playing basketball) and it has been a problem again off and on the last couple of years and then Sunday he really hurt it. Please pray for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. - Debbie
