Follow up

Matt, my little brother, is currently in St. Luke Medical Center's ICU ward. He has a fractured left shoulder, a few fractured ribs and a small bone at the base of his neck that is broken. He'll have to wear a brace for awhile on that. At this point, that's all we know. Mom and Dad just got to see him about 30 minutes ago.

After Mom and Dad left for the hospital, I went up to my sister (in law)'s house and put Tanner to bed up there. I didn't want to be by myself and there was no reason for Mom to call both of us with updates.

Thank you so much for all the prayers. I know he's got a long recovery ahead of him, so I ask that you please continue to pray for him. He's been an insulin dependant diabetic for the last 20 years and that can sometimes complicate the healing process.

I'll update more tomorrow.

Thanks for the update. It sounds like a long process for recovery but I'm grateful it's not worse than it is. Praise God! We will pray for healing.
