Update : Please Pray For My Brother
Hey Gang,
- Last Thursday my brother was hit by a car driven by elderly lady would couldn't tell the difference from her accelerator and brake pedals.
- At full throttle she did a 270 degree hard right hand turn in the Hospital Emergency Room Parking lot where she struck by brother.
- Please say some prayers for him and take the keys from any elderly person who shouldn't be driving.
- Bernard has surgery scheduled this Thursday to repair his left shoulder, collar bone & shoulder blade.
Steve
NOTE: He was at the hospital dropping off something to his wife who is an I.C.U. nurse which is why is was at the hospital.

Ironically my brother and I were going to Road Atlanta on Thursday so that he could finally see my pal Phil race at this weekend's HSR event. Hopefully we'll all be at The Mitty in the spring time.
Thanks-O-Million!

Praying for him, a full and speedy recovery, God’s healing hand to be on him.
And for her, as she is obviously going through a significant change in her life and now must deal with the situation she caused emotionally as well.

Steve,
You've certainly had more to deal with than most could possibly manage. You are a very strong person and your faith has helped you pull through these challenges. I'm praying for your brother and for your family.

And it was all caught on video.
He said it looked like the opening scene from M.A.S.H. as the staff rushed to help him.

He is now back home.

> Unfortunately he won't be going to Cruising The Coast this year.
> At least Humpty Dumpty is back together again.
Thanks Everyone!

We've got a cruise scheduled in about 6 months so we are hoping he'll be able and willing to go.
Just tough to watch him in such a rough state.

Sorry to ask again, but spare prayers are still needed.
They are draining fluid from my brother's chest cavity today around lunch time.
He had this done a few of times before prior to them replacing his Aortic Valve & Pacemaker last year.
Bernard claims it is not that bad, but sticking a needle in your back to suck out fluid sounds like something we all want to avoid.
Anyway, Thank You All For Praying For Big B!
