Alan found me through genealogy research. It looked like we were closely related but then we learned we weren't related at all! Through it, we became friends. Alan is a super nice man and my brother in Christ. He lives in Colorado.
His parents and sister were recently in a very bad, weather related car accident. His father did not survive the accident. His mother is in ICU. Here is the most recent update he gave me:
2/25: Alan told me today that his mother just had an 9 hour surgery on her hips. The surgery went well. She is recovering from that before the next surgery. Alan and his wife are en route to see her (Colorado to Nebraska) today.
2/19: Hi Wendy, She is not well. She was in surgery for 11 hours yesterday for her back because when they tried to do it before they had some issues and then when they tried to wake her up they could not. So that put her behind schedule. Her next surgery will be Monday at the earliest. Please continue to pray for her.
2/15: "My sister was released Friday from the hospital with some bumps and bruises. My mom had her first of 3 surgeries on Saturday. It lasted 7 hours. She has another tomorrow and Friday. It’s going to be a lot for her to handle. She’s in ICU on a ventilator because they had a hard time getting her off it. She has a 2 broken arms a broken femur a broken pelvis and a broken back. So I appreciate the prayers and keep them coming."
Please pray for Alan's mother and his entire family.
