PRAYER REQUEST...

...as a form of introduction...

As few (if any) of you know, I have 3 half-brothers from my step-dad's side...(there's also 3 half-sisters, too)...step dad was quite prolific--not with the same woman--

Anyway....

the oldest half bro is named neal. about 12 years ago, he was living in florida, managing the parts dept. of a large ford dealer in ocala. as he was on the freeway, he apparently was driving at quite a good clip, and was head-on'ed by another car. he wasn't wearing his seat belt, so was ejected from the truck, landing on his head. as the story goes, he left about 10% of his brain on the pavement before he was airlifted to the hospital where he was not expected to survive. miraculously, he did. the ensuing few years were relatively normal. however, the last few have not been good. he's had seizures, blood clots, requiring lots of HEAVY doses of blood thinners, and times of 'passing out', etc.

fast forward to friday, he was going to a burger joint with some friends, and had one of the afformentioned 'pass out' episodes. prior to hitting the ground, apparently he hit his head on a stucco wall. not good for someone with a history of serious brain injury, or someone on blood thinners. even worse for someone experiencing both. currently (last i heard), he wasnt doing well--was in an induced coma to lessen the possibility of further issues, etc. once he comes out of the coma, we'll know more...doesnt look good right now., so please toss one up if you think about it...thanks.


UPDATE.....

He's doing alot better...

thank you God.
