Prayers Requested for Brother BIG!

[GHarman]

Please Pray for BIG and His Family. BIG took a fall from height, late this AM.
It appeared at first that he landed on His feet and rolled out, only damaging His prosthetic leg.
However, upon arriving back home in the truck, He collapsed. The Family called His Daughter, whom is a Combat Experienced Nurse and 911. He was Heli-lifted to the Hospital in Missoula, Montana. Nothing further to report at this time.

Any idea what happened ?

Big and Penny, doubt even a nasty fall will put more than some more stitches on the Mountain Man.

Best wishes to all, especially the Nursing staff.

BIG is recovering from surgery. As I understand, He has a crushed artery from an aneurism in the stump of His left leg. The impact of the fall and landing on both feet drove the cuff of the prosthetic tight onto the stump crushing the aneurism, which bled profusely inside, when the prosthetic cuff was removed. He will be hospitalized 14 days and will be fitted with a synthetic artery. That surgery is scheduled in three days. BIG, Penny and Family are APPRECIATIVE of ALL Your Prayers!

kcv67,
I am in Colorado. Maybe You could stop by the VA hospital and look up Gail Wright?

BIG is in a hyper clean isolation facility, awaiting the arterial surgical team. The Graft requires cleanliness, no sicknesses or airborne contamination.
He is doing well, but missing physical contact with Family!

OK Guys, we're all concerned about Big, Penny and the Mules. And I bet Big would expect a few jabs at his expense so I'll start one.

Is the hyper clean room to protect Big from whatever, or to protect Big's neighbors from all of the stuff you get from traipsing around the woods?

Penny, Big is a lucky guy to have you on his side right now.
