My buddy (co-pilot) Steve

I just read about Angie's co-worker, now I have to tell you and ask for prayers for my families best friend and who might as well be family member Steve. He was hit by a train yesterday morning down the street and is in critical condition. I just went with son and DIL Jenny to visit him. Horrible. He is in a coma. He has broken bones all over and massive internal injuries but is alive. How? Someone up there knows he has a good, gentle heart and soul. He was my co-pilot on our trip to visit Phred in Ohio. His mom and dad - JoAnn & Bill - are in constant touch with us and us with them. When we were at the hospital they asked ME for permission to go back in and operate. I said "wait for Mom & Dad they will be here shortly". I am so .. so... can't talk any more.

/s/ the Prayer Pups

How is Steve getting along today? We're still hoping and praying for him :(

:( Laurie, that's terrible. My thoughts are with you all.

He had to have another transfusion about 3 a.m. this morning and they have to go back into his "innards" in an hour or so to rearrange some parts :( He has a broken leg, broken arm and broken pelvis in addition to his internal injuries but there is brain activity and somehow his skull and back made it OK. I'll find out about the email program when I speak with his critical care nurse shortly. His Mom & Dad can't make it in today so Kenneth & Jenny will come with me when he's out of his "procedure" later on. Still not conscious but that's probably a good thing, all things considered. Thank you one and all. I will be printing out these thoughts and prayers and reading them to him when I can. They say he can probably hear voices so there is that.

Thanks for the update. Poor fella is going through alot. I feel so bad for him and everyone else. Bless all of you and may you have the strength you need to get through this terrible situation. You all will remain in my thoughts and prayers. :(

How terrible! I am glad to hear his spine and brain seem to be okay right now, those are the hardest to "fix" when something like that happens. My prayers and thoughts are with him, you, and his family. I hope he makes it=(

Laurie, I am so sorry to read about this. Steve is in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know...
