Jim,

here is another prayer request for you.

Sherri got up to go potty Saturday night (Sun morning) and must have become disoriented.  She thought she was walking thru the bathroom door but headed down the stairs.  she landed on her back and
bounced all the way down the steps.

We believe she was unconscious for a few minutes and when she came too, she called to wake me.  When I found her, she was lying at the bottom of the stairs with one leg up the wall and her head in a
pool of blood.

She broke her left arm in 2 places and had a 2 1/2" gash at the base of her skull.  I called 911 and she was take to Hemet hospital, where she was stabilized  and then transported to Kaiser.

Her head is still seeping blood, even after the wound was stapled shut.  They cannot do surgery until her blood thickens (she is on blood thinners) and then there is a risk of stroke with the thick blood.  She has a large pool of blood beneath the skull.

 

John

In the picture to the left you can see the stairs.  No, not the stairs she fell down, the wood and concrete narrow stairs with no railing coming down from her sleeping quarters on the 2nd floor of my house here in Guatemala.  Praise God that she did not fall here! 

 

This verse is for Sherri and John today:

 

2Timothy   4:18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

 

Please pray for them as Paul did for Timothy in the letter referenced above in Chapter 1 and verse 3, "as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers."
