Well, my best friend from college has been in a serious motorcycle accident. It is not looking good. Both his legs are broken, and he is unable to breath on his own. I emailed all of our classmates from college on facebook. I asked each of them to pray for him. I know this has nothing to do with WF and its purpose. But I feel that we are all of like mind and I consider everyone here a friend. So your help is greatly appreciated. But in terms of internet biz, I came across this horrible site:
http://www.secretprayer.com/
I was searching for online prayer networks, and I am appauled that people would be this devious. I somewhat like it, but also am upset that such evil exists. Anyhow, if you can say a prayer for my friend Eric Potter, I would appreciate it. Thanks. This is the email I received from his mom this morning:
Email by Mrs. Potter:
"We are all exhausted, emotionally and phsycially. I am not calling anyone right now because I can't talk long about Eric without crying. I so appreciate all your prayers, at this point they are what is pulling him through each hour.
He continutes to be in a vicious cycle of excruciating pain with his legs not able to be operated on..he then requires sedation and narcotis then he
quites breathing on his own and he is struggling with a combination of pneumoia and maybe a wound infection that prevents surgery. Today we will
talk to the main doctor with thoughts he may have a tracheostomy soon to relieve him of the pain and complications of the oral endo tracheal tube.
His lungs have improved...but his ability to breatrh has not. No one is sure if it is stress, infection or the amount of sedation he requires. He does not have a head injury...but is not breathing in a way that he could have the tube out.
Greg has to go back on Monday and Kate soon. I had hoped they would be here for the hard eceisions...but most likely will not. Eric had been clear to me and in his advance directives that he wanted all possible done if he could recover and to stop when he couldn't. At this point there is still
reason to hope he will eventually heal.
I know everyone I am writing this to has their own things to handle with themselves and in their families and I do think of each of you and you are
in my many times daily prayers. All of you mean so much to all of us.
There are people important to me that do not hav email..please let them know what is going on and it is just too hard for me to call and talk much right
now. Susan"
