Asking for prayers for my brother-in-law [View all]

Last edited Wed Jul 21, 2021, 07:25 AM - Edit history (1)

He had a bad accident at work today. He was about 15-20’ in the air in a cage on a fork lift. The guy controlling the equipment was driving and having a conversation with a 3rd party. BIL saw it coming and tried to get the driver’s attention, but he drove through an open loading bay door hitting the top with such impact the cage broke off the lift and fell to the ground with my BIL in the cage. They airlifted him to the hospital. He has bone fragments in his spinal column and vertebrae damage L2 and below. He can move his toes, but can’t move his legs. Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. The dr said any way you look at it, it will be a long recovery, and they’re not sure if he will ever regain his ability to walk.

Prayers, healing light, and positive thoughts would be much appreciated.
