May 24th (First News)
Dear Friends and Supporters: (Originally sent to the Widows Harvest Prayer Chain)
my son was in a terrible accident about 8 pm yesterday. he was taking pictures in an abandoned building and fell 5 stories off of a building. Right now he is in critical condition in ICU. He has a compound fracture of the right femur. bruised lungs on his right side. trauma on the front of his brain that has caused swelling and 2 fractured vertebrae around his neck. they don't know what is causing his coma, nor do they know if there is any spinal injury. they won't be able to do an mri until later this morning after they are certain that the brain swelling is stable. the neurosurgen says that there must be something deeper in his brain that is causing the coma that didn't show up on the catscan.
all they could tell us was that they couldn't tell us anything for certain. he may wake up and he may not. he may have spinal injuries and he may not.
I just left him in ICU. he is moving one arm and moving his head, but no consciousness. I am going back to the hospital and will spend the night with my wife, gloria and hadrienne, my daughter. we won't be able to see him again until 10 am. please pray for Asher and my family.
