I would like to ask for the Huddles help.

[L-TownCat]

First off, I'm sorry for doing this but the Huddle has become an extension of my family of sorts.

That said a close friend of mine came close to losing his life on the job. While we are ever so thankful it looks as though he will pull through, it looks as though he will lose at the very least the ability to use his left hand.

Anyone who has met me knows why this means a great deal to me.

All I want to ask from you, my huddle fam, is that no matter your background faith or creed, please offer up a prayer for my friend so the he may fully recover.

I hate to interrupt your day with this but it would surely mean a lot to me to know that you all are keeping him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you all so much.

***UPDATE***

My friend is out of surgery and resting. I spoke with his GF and she said he was able to squeeze her hand a bit. Now it's far from over, but what a tremendous sign. This makes the doctors much more confident that once the swelling subsides they can improve function even further.

Thanks again to all my Huddles.

 

***2nd Update***

 

This morning much to the amazement of the doctors, he was able to not only move his hand but touch each finger to his thumb.  Nothing short of miraculous considering the extent of the damage to his arm.  

 

Keep up the support it truly has made a difference!

You got it, dude.  

 

I hope that I don't sound callous by saying this, but if he does lose the use of his left hand, at some point, tell him to keep pounding with the other one.  I mean that in the most sincere and best way possible.

[chknwing]

done

[Chaos]

Will do L-Town, and I will say this guy is lucky to have you as a good friend - you are a great example of living life with a limitation and still getting out there and doing your thing.

 

Prayers sent.
