To all those who offered sincere prayers and good thoughts, instead of trying to find a reason to slam me, I thank you and ask that you continue them. The latest update is not such a good one. And, although "Skip" is alive he is not able to recognize family or do simple tasks for himself. He is still in great pain with the multitude of injuries he sustained. He will be going in for surgery later this week for a torn scapula and clavicle. He is unable to assist the police and we may never know who hit him. Skip was the major caretaker for their 91 year old Situ and she is having a difficult time accepting his condition.
Thank you too, to CharlesR for adding the request to the prayer circle. How very kind and thoughtful of you. I am sure anyone who read my original post knew it was of great concern to our children and their families who mean the world to us. Why that is cause for consternation by some is beyond me, but that remains their problem.
I would ask those that have prayed to continue to pray for that miracle that brings Skip back to us. This is the first year in 29 years that our dsil has not been with his wife and children at Christmas. They are very understanding and want to be with him, but the roads are not in good shape so they sit and wait for word of their loved ones safe return home.
When push comes to shove we have some of the nicest and kindest posters on this board and I do appreciate it when you all pull together for a cause.
With sincere thanks. Ridge
