A week or so ago, I put out a call for prayers for a Catholic father of five who had been in a serious accident with a serious head injury.
Some had requested updates, so here they are:
Deo gratias, he has now turned a corner and is moving and talking. They have now moved him to a rehabilitation hospital. They are not yet certain of the full extent of any long-term effects.
Know that your prayers have been effectual as the medical staff have commented on the rapidness of his good progress, particularly given the seriousness of his injuries. The term "Christmas miracle" has even been put out there.
That said, he and his wife and children are still in need of your continued prayers. Please remember Martin and Lorraine particularly at your upcoming Christmas Masses.
