Update on my Brother's Vehicle Accident link to PIX

A while back I asked prayer for my brother, who had been in a rollover accident after dozing off at the wheel.

The injuries were much worse than they thought at first. My brother was complaining of still being in a lot of pain. They finally took a new set of Xrays, almost a month later! And they found he had no socket for his upper arm bone, his shoulder was shattered in many pieces, he had 8 broken ribs and two broken vertebra in his back!! So, it was off to see if he could be put back together again. They were able to find a surgeon that had done 20 reconstructions of shoulders, most Drs. do one maybe in their career. We are thankful his primary care Dr. knew of this surgeon.

I have photos on Photobucket, if anyone wants to see the Xrays and the vehicle.

It is a real miracle he is still alive. The Dr. said he had never seen such damage on a LIVING person.

Please continue to pray for his recovery.

Thank god he wasn't killed, or anyone else.

Its amazing that thay much injury could have been missed!

DH went to the ER once for what I thought was a broken wrist. The ER doc said it was not and did not even get xrays! A week later I dragged him back we got xrays and sure enough it was broken - in two places!!

But, a totally trashed shoulder seems like a fairly easy find!

Lord have mercy! He's lucky to be alive! Most vehicles don't do well in a roll over.

So glad to read they took a look at him again instead of just dismissing his complaints. Healings!
