Hi All, Bill and I could use all the prayers we can get right now. And i know you guys are the best prayer chain their is.
Bill's dad came home from grocery shopping this afternoon and fell backwards outside the house and hit his head badly on the pavement. They took him by ambulance to the hospital and we met them their, he was alert, talking, was sore in his back and had a pretty big bare spot and cut on the back of his head, so they sent him for Xrays on his Back and a CT Scan and withing 15 min of him being in CT he started not makeing any sence, didn't know where he was or what happend.
Unfortunatley they found a large brain bleed in his head, and from the time they brought him back to his room in the ER things went to hell in a handbasket. We had 2 options do nothing and hope the bleed stopped as he is on coumadin, or send him to surgery ASAP to relieve the pressire in his brain and hope for the best, both scenerois were not good either way but God is in charge now.
We just got a call from the Surgeon as we had to take that chance to get him thru this. They Said the surgery went as well as could be expected but there was some major damage done to his brain. The next several days will tell us what is going to be as he is now showing paralysis on his left side. its all up to god and everybodies prayers would be greatly appreciated. I will keep you all updated as I can. Thanks Jules & Bill
