Will you please pray for Bill Cooper and his family right now? (Also, add them to any prayer list that you can?) Bill's daughter, Linda, lives next door to Josh's parents. He is in his 80's, and was bush-hogging this morning when his tractor flipped several times. He was taken to UT by ambulance, and they initially said he just had a few broken ribs, bruises and abrasions everywhere. Shortly thereafter, he started having difficulty breathing because his lungs collapsed. They got him stabilized from that and sent the family home until visiting hours later tonight. At about 7:00, they called the family back in because he has started bleeding internally and is going downhill fast. They wanted the family to come back to make decisions about life support, DNR orders, etc. Decisions that no one ever wants to have to make in a hurry like that. Please please pray for this family. Right now Bill is in Trauma ICU at UT Hospital in Knoxville. His wife has Alzheimer's and he is her primary caregiver. Right now she is staying at Linda's house, and is really confused. She doesn't really understand what's happening, she just knows that it's really really bad. Linda says she keeps walking around the house wringing her hands, then going to throw up. Pray for this whole family as they face this together. I'll continue post updates when I get them. Until then, thank you for your prayers!
p.s. I know that about 5 total people read my blog, so if you 5 could please send this wherever you can to get the word out for more people to pray for this situation, I know this family would appreciate it so much!
