Take care to all...

Feb. 10th, 2003....4:00AM...my brother has taken his last breath and his heart the last beat. His life will live on in our memories and his beautiful children. Thank you all for your wonderful support and God Bless you all.

Please hug your children today....you never know when something may happen....




Update: 2-5-03....Exactly one month from his accident, my brother is now likely to die. He has no (or little) brain activity and his body is shutting down. They are now pumping fluid off of his lungs or he will simply drown in is own water. I'm not sure whether we make the decision to pull the plug or if more doctors are going to evaluate James. We were told that if he were to survive (1 to 2 percent chance), he would need 100% care for the rest of his life. Thank you all for your prayers.....

Robert


Update: 1/21/03. Brother improving....Thank God! See my last post for details!


Update: 1/15/03. My brother is doing very poorly. He is back on the vent....losing blood pressure....moved back to the Trauma ICU.....I don't want my brother to die...we may have not gotten along very good...but I do love him and want him to recover.......Please...please....keep him in your prayers and thoughts.....

Today, I went to Columbus Ohio to be with my little brother (6 ft. 4 in. and 280 lbs)....but the reason I went was not just to spend time with him. He was involved in a head on accident with a Semi last night at midnight. He was trapped in the car for several hours and is in the ICU unit in Grant Medical Center in Columbus. He has multiple laserations (speel?) on his head and body and has a broken vertabrai (speel?) in his neck. He is on a ventilator and is heavily sedated because he, once conscience, moves his arms and legs wildly trying to remove the tubes from his body. If any of you want to spare a prayer for my brother and family, please do so. I normally don't ask things like this, but you guys are the only family on the web that I would want to do so.....(sorry about the spelling....too hard to think tonight)

Thanks and have a good evening.

(P.S. Sorry to Dennis for not stopping by on his Birthday...especially while I was in Columbus....but hopefully, he understands )

Consider it done!

Dasm.
No need for me to "spare" a prayer, I've got plenty. and there will be prayers going out for your brother. No need to apoligize for not being able to see me either, this is far, far more important.

My wishes and prayers go out to your brother for a speedy and complete recovery, and the strength to see it through. Prayers also go out to you and your family.

Dennis

[mechBgon]

Me too, I'll keep him in my prayers and hope to hear good news from you soon.

Heavenly Father
May your authority be respected among us
And your ways be followed here as they are in heaven
Give us what we need here on earth
And pardon us our offenses, as we pardon the offenses of others
Lead us not in the path of temptation
And deliver us from evil

 

[Smoke]

Let's hope our joint prayers help.

Chin Up.

Assimilated an extra prayer cruncher for you at dinnertime here. Powerful one too, even if it is a rather old model. What happened exactly, was it a bad-roads situation?

 

[SpaceWalker]

done...

 

[Crazee]

Boy I am so sorry to hear about this

Your brother as well as your family will be in my prayers. Please let us know how things go and if there is anything else you need, please don't hesitate to ask.

A prayer from Denmark , and a hope that your brother will be well soon

 

[CraigRT]

Best wishes from me. I have a very sick uncle in the hospital right now, I know exactly what that is like, but his short story is, he was found in his apartment (he's the youngest in my dads family) on the floor, by my aunt, unconscious.. that night my family was told he was not going to live, and now about a month later, although, they have no idea what caused this to happen, he's recovering and expected to make a full recovery in about 6 months time.. but from hearing they expected him to die the first night, a month later he's looking at us and squeezing our hands when we talk to him (still not fully awake at all) it's a miracle!!

hope that little story helps you through your tough time! keep your head up!!

 

[Zim Hosein]
