Some of you may remember I posted a prayer request for them brother a bit ago.

It turned out to be much worse than first suspected. He shattered his shoulder. He had 8 broken ribs and two cracked vertebra in his back. He kept saying he was in pain... but they never took new Xrays until last week!! Almost a month after the accident happened.

I made a photo album on Photo bucket. Here is the link if anyone would like to look at the vehicle and the Xrays etc.

Please continue to pray for a speedy recovery. The Drs are saying he will not be able to lift his arm over his head anymore.
He is in good spirits, long way to go yet with physical therapy.

I was in an accident a few years back. X-rays showed nothing broken, but I was in constant pain. They finally sent me for a bone scan. I had 4 cracked ribs. I feel his pain. I'll be praying that he heals more than expected. :hugs

Jawja, y'all
Yowch!

You know, our Maker can fix him up better than what the doctors predict. After all, He made him in the first place. I'm gonna ask Him to... never hurts to ask! I'm thankful that He's brought your brother this far, and that he's in good spirits.

Thanks!! That would be such a testimony to the Drs. And even more so to my brother who needs a much closer walk with the Holy One. My uncle that was healed of Cancer this year is "working" on my brother to get him to see that his life was spared for a purpose.

My mom broke her shoulder too.

Just make sure he gets started on moving it soon. My mother started with the exersises and then stopped. Well she lost almost complete mobility. She still has trouble using it a lot, and she can't really shave her underarm (can't get it up at that angle)

It has gotten better though, so not all hope is lost for your brother.
