Prayer Request

We got a call this morning that Jessica's uncle Wesley (her dad's brother - not my husband) had a freak accident yesterday. He was digging a whole with a tractor... actually the - i'm def not going to spell this right but oh well - the auger? anyways... its a big screw driver type deal that spirals down into the ground... his jacket got caught in it and it pulled him in. Thank God he had his back turned to it or else it would have been a lot worse. It broke both of his arms and the jacket nearly pulled his skin off his back. He had emergency surgery on both arms. He's lucky to be alive. He'll be released from the hospital either Monday or Tuesday but he'll have a long recovery. He can't use his arms so he's pretty much helpless. His wife, Marie, will have to do everything for him. Please keep them both in your prayers. We were able to visit with him today. He's in a lot of pain to say the least. And I'm sure once he has to give up the moriphin (sp) pump it will be worse.
