Prayers please.

Update - they decided that his vertebrae were stable enough to not need surgery, and to send him home with a neck brace, that he must wear for the next 3-4 months, and go to physical therapy in that time for his pelvis fracture, and hopefully get him walking better. He is on an aspirin regimen to lower the risk of stroke, but he is still at somewhat of a risk of stroke for about the next three months from the clot, so we will be watching him closely for common signs during that time.

So, we have him home, and will continue the healing process. As would be expected of a guy as tough as he is, he isn't much of a homebody, and already was wanting to go mess with his horses, but compromised with simply petting and loving on Arthur, the horse that got him out of the mountains. It's gonna be a struggle to keep him pinned down the way the doctors want him to be, but we will just keep reminding him what is at stake if he doesn't follow their direction. We are so happy and blessed he made it to this point, we have seen and felt all the prayers from everyone and they have truly made a difference. Words can't express how grateful we are! Thank you everyone. At this point, we will just keep moving forward, one small step at a time.

Thank the Lord!

Great news! Sounds like you're going to have to keep an eye on him so he doesn't over do it as he starts to heal and feel better.

I continue to pray for his physical healing. I read this and I also know I need to pray for his ability to let others help him. Not many things tougher for an older man that's been as tough as a lighter stump all his life to suddenly need help with things a man like him has done all his life. Watch him close and protect him from doing to much to early. Also don't put in a bubble that suffocates him. Been there with my stroke. Thanks for the updates.

 

[gillettehunter]

Thanks for the update. So glad that he is doing better. We'll pray for his continued recovery.

Cody, continued prayers for full recovery of FIL. The bond between your FIL and his horse is simply not breakable, I get it. His horse carried him out even prob dealing with its own pain. Recovery period is the toughest to stay on course.
