I've been MIA for a while, mainly because I've been working really long hours and still trying to plan this wedding in the few hours between work, gym, and bedtime. I have no idea how I'm going to get the rest of the planning done in just 2
months! Anyways, life is getting really crazy and stressful! Prayer would be much appreciated!
On Saturday, one of my older brothers was snow tubing with a few friends when the tube hit a jump (accidentally) and flipped over. He says he heard a "snap", and both his arms were numb. The right arm was numb for over 20 minutes. He finally
went to the hospital later that night, and they took - and sent him home. Radiologist called him in the morning and wanted him to come in ASAP. It turns out he broke his neck in the C7 area. Basically that is the vertebrae that controls all mobility.
So far he still has full mobility but is completely strapped to the bed (except for his arms), as moving the wrong way could trigger paralysis. He's still a small hospitall waiting to be transferred to Vancouver as soon as there is a bed available.
Apparently, the first 48 hours is critical, and those 48 are now over! Please pray that a bed opens soon, and that he will heal quickly and without paralysis.
Also, FI just found out today that he is being laid off after next week. He could go on un-employment, but he wouldn't be getting near enough to finish paying for the wedding, and barely enough to pay the bills. There is a slight possibility
that he may be able to get on with my oldest brother's boss, so we're really hoping that happens. It's a much better job than the one he has now, with better hours, better pay, and benefits.
TIA!
