Please help...

Whether the need is great or small, there is power in prayer, especially when God's people raise their voices together.

Please help...

Where to start...

About 6 months ago my cousin and his wife brought their second child into the world, Oliver (named after our late uncle). Oliver has had many complications...blind, deaf, autistic and some other complications. It has been tough on them but they are both strong and Oliver seems to be progressing better than expected.

However, I just got word that my cousin was in a motorcycle accident (there are conflicting reports ATM on the cause). He is in the hospital with a broken leg, broken ribs and a shattered knee.

He also fractured his skull and bruised his brain in 3 spots. He was responsive to some commands immdiately after the accident and was attempting to talk but the doctors felt that it was better for his recovery to keep him in a drug induced coma. So far...there has been no brain swelling which is great news. The next few days will key into how his long recovery will be.

I know we have a diverse background of religions on here. I ask that you please focus any energy, prayers, thoughts, etc. to my cousin so that he may recover.

He is a wonderful man. One of the nicest men you will ever meet and truly enjoys life. For this stuff to be happening to him does not seem right to me but it is beyond my control. All I can do is pray, focus and think healing thoughts for him and ask you all to do the same.

Please help him in his time of need. Please be a good Samaritan and help a stranger.

Thank you

Thanks everyone for everything. I wish I had an update for you all but I am just getting settled in here in Korea and have been w/o comms until now and seeing that it is 7:15 pm my time its 5:15 am for my family so I won't be able to contact them for a while longer. As soon as I know something I will let you all know. Thanks so much again.
