Difficult day

Today has been a difficult day medically.
This afternoon the doctors lost a patient in the OR. They resuscitated her twice but sadly she died. She had come in to get her bandages changed after having a toe amputated at a different hospital. But while she was here they took x-rays and discovered that she had a very enlarged heart and they are not sure what was wrong with her. Her sister was here with her and is very shock up right now. Pray that God would comfort the sister and the family. This lady was the cousin of one of our workers. Pray for St. Phar's family as they deal with this loss.

A few minutes ago we had a man come in who had been cutting down a tree. He fell out of the tree and as he was falling a large piece of metal came and fell on his head. He has a major head trauma. The doctors said that he has bleeding on the brain and we are currently praying for a miracle to get him to a hospital with a neurosurgeon. We have contacted the 82nd Airborne and they are trying to come up here to pick him up.
Hopefully later tonight I will be able to update on what happened with him.

Thanks for your prayers. (I hear a helicopter in the distance, maybe they are coming)
