If you would take a moment out of your day to stop and pray for my Grandpa, Jack Carnes. He has Alzheimer’s Disease and was walking down a set of steep stairs to his basement last night and fell. I am not sure how far up he was, but in the fall he broke his neck. He is currently in ICU in Covington, GA Atlanta, GA. My dad sent me a text this morning telling me that they are deciding when to operate. His neck was broken in the same spot where actor Christopher Reeves’ neck was broke. Fortunately, his neck did not fracture all the way through and as long as it can be maintained and the spinal cord is not cut, he should not face any paralysis from this. However, my grandpa is over 80 years old and has Alzheimers, so this is not going to be an easy surgery or recovery for him or for my Grandma. Fortunately, my uncle Kevin, lives with them and is able to assist her.
My Grandpa is a great and godly man. He is however hard headed, that’s probably why he was walking down the steps when he shouldn’t have been. If he makes a full recovery from this accident, it will not stop him. If he were a car he would have one gear, Drive. I guess that’s what’s kept him going all of these years!
Thank you very much for your prayers for him!
