I am just now able to post a message to let you know that Gene
fell from a roof Friday afternoon, 11/19/10., landing on his
head…..was airlifted to Brooke Army Medical Center, in San
Antonio…. Had surgery to repair the 1st and 2nd vertebrae which were
were broken. No spinal cord damage. Other minor injuries. He was
discharged from the hospital this past Saturday evening… He is
making good progress, doesn’t remember what happened…but all other
mental faculties and body functions are good. He will wear the “collar” for a few months.
We are counting our blessings. No one saw him fall, but he somehow got up
and got in his truck, drove about 50 yds to the house, walked in the
back door with blood all over his head and said his head hurt and he
didn’t know what happened. I believe it is a miracle that he is even
alive.
“Because he loves me, I will rescue him; because he knows my name, I
will protect him. He will call on me, and I will answer him. I
will be with him when he is in trouble. I will extricate him and bring
him honor. I will satisfy him with long life and show him my
salvation.”(Psalm 91:14-15)
Love you all and ask for prayers….Gene is expecting to be back on
the road in January!
