ryan1990 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) I know how much you all believe in prayer. My uncle, Bill Blankenship, has been on life support for 3 days now. He got pneumonia a couple weeks ago, and being the big, tough, stubborn rancher that he is, he didnt get it takin care of. It reached the point that he told his wife " if you dont take me to the hospital Im gonna die" After 2 days he was flown to OKC and put in a medically induced coma and on a breathing machine. He was/is EXTREMELY critical. They have him in a special bed that rotates him and is supposed to improve patients right away. The doctors said that the fact he hasnt improved is really worrying to to them. His lungs are "rigid" and while they sound clear, the xrays keep getting worse. The doctor today said "Keep praying, its in Gods hands and we need a miracle" Well guess what, WE BELIEVE IN MIRACLES! And since 5pm he has been very slowly improving! With you guys joining your faith with ours, I KNOW he is gonna make it. edit:btw he is 47 and a lifetime hunting/fishing liscense holder Edited November 18, 2009 by ryan1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
