Prayer Request

On July 27th our friend Dave had a artery collapse and lost oxygen to his brain. He remains in ICU in a coma. Dave (age 42) is one of Andy's co-workers at KCRC. He is married with a 3 year old daughter, he also has 2 older girls from a previous marriage.

Andy and I have spent many hours at the hospital with Dave and his family. We know how much each and everyone of them need our support. If we can not make it to the hospital we call and get a update. Even if it is no change, we want them to know we are thinking of them and Dave.



Dave is breathing on his own but has been and continues to be assisted with a ventilator. His temp. has gone down, and he has good blood pressure numbers. He does open his eyes and blinks, but they say that is normal. They say there is brain damage. We are unsure of how much. The Dr.'s and nurse's have not given the family much hope.

I spoke with his father yesterday afternoon, he said they would be doing surgery for a tracheotomy. I am under the understanding they do this after a week so the tubes they have in his throat do not damage the vocal cords and throat muscles.

If you are reading this we know there is power in prayer, and this family is sure in need of those prayers.

I will continue to update, once I have more info.
