just received this from my sister: re: a friend. Praise God for His will in his life.
Here is an update on him….today instead of surgery he had halo traction applied which he will be on for 14 weeks. He will be on a special bed with a frame so he can flipped every hr or 2. With youth in his favor healing should be able to take place and the vertebrae should hopefully grow to normal. They plan on taking him off the respirator in 2 weeks if all goes well. Yesterday he did squeeze a visitors hand. He remains in guarded condition and will for at least 6 mos. Full recovery if all goes well will be at least 2 yrs. Thanks for your concerns and prayers…
