I don't wish him ill by any means, but I hope he gets his act together. Maybe the crack on the skull will serve as a wake-up call... we can hope, right?[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappie Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 update 11/15/08 from Advocate Lutheran Hospital in Park Ridge: Father Greeley remains “critical but stable”. “Doctors are hopeful and pleased with his progress from [Friday] to [Saturday].” “Unfortunately there is not a lot to report. He remains in critical, but stable condition. With a head injury like this, the doctors have to move slowly. It may be a while before we have any real updates”, reported his niece Julie Montague. More updates will be posted immediately as they become available. Father Greeley is being attended to by his family and a top notch medical staff. His family would like to thank everyone for their kind words and prayers! Additional information: Father Greeley’s family has been in contact with the young California couple who helped when they saw the accident. The man is training to be an EMT. The woman called 911 immediately as he used her scarf to stop the bleeding. They both kept him warm and talked to him. The family have thanked them and referred to them as his guardian angels. We all hope their story will inspire others to act as Good Samaritans. Their story can be found at [url="http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Good-Samaritans-.html"]http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Good-Samaritans-.html[/url]. Cardinal George came to visit Wednesday and prayed at Father Greeley’s bedside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

journeyman Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Greeley was the first source I saw for this story (I've had a soft spot for him ever since) There is a story about Jesus and St. Peter walking around heaven one day and Jesus stopped mid step and asked St. Peter – “What is Mr. Smith doing here; I am sure his name was not in my book”. St. Peter stumbled around the question and they continued their walk – once again Jesus stopped and pointed to a women –“Peter, I do not remember Mrs. Jones name being in my book”. Once again St. Peter stumbled and fumbled around the question. The third time this happened Jesus informed St. Peter that he wanted to know exactly what was going on. St. Peter said, “Jesus, you are not going to like the answer.” Jesus told St. Peter to let Him worry about that, just tell him what was going on. St. Peter said, “Well, Jesus they come to the Pearly Gates and when I tell them their name is not in THE BOOK – they go around to the back door and your Mother lets them in”. My prayers go out for him and for his family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
