Please pray for a family friend. I just received a text message that he blew his forearm off. I don't know how. All I know is it happened, he's in the hospital, and he's lost a lot of blood. Please pray for him and his family. He's only about 20 or 21. :cry2:

Thanks guys. Your prayers mean a lot. From the little bit I have heard Kris is in surgery right now. He and his siblings basically grew up with Matt and his family, they lived just up the road. They are a good Catholic family. I know whatever happened (I still don't have the full story) it could have been worse, but these things are always difficult. Knowing that they have prayer supporting them will go a long way with the family.

Thank you all so much for praying for Kris. I've got a couple more updates this morning. I am somewhat relieved to hear that Kris didn't lose his whole forearm (from the text message that was the way it sounded), but that it was a "chunk" of it; his hand is still intact. The damage severed his brachial artery, but they were able to repair that using a vein from his leg. Blood flow to his hand has been restored, and he has some feeling in pinky and thumb. They are not sure if he will ever regain full functionality, but the surgery was a success and that is definitely good news.
