    Unhappy Need prayers/good vibes again...

    OY. I hate having to put out the prayer flag posts. But I need some for a friend.
    My friend out in nor cal's brother had a horrible mtn bike accident yesterday, and needs serious prayers/vibes sent his way.
    He was riding alone, so a hiker found him semi conscious on the trail. He was airlifted from Marin to Santa Rosa memorial with a brain injury. He has some bleeds on the brain, lots of facial trauma, and a broken wrist. From what I've heard he should be ok, but it's really touch and go right now. The bleeds are apparently small, but in a tough area.
    So if you could keep him in your thoughts, I'd really appreciate it.
    He also comes from a catholic family, so if you happen to be RC and attend mass, could you please light a candle for him.
    Thanks all. I know I can count on you.

    P.S. I'll be out at a 24 hr mtn bike race until tomorrow afternoon, so I won't be able to check in with ya'll until sometime tomorrow. But I will give you an update when I hear more.

    He is on my prayer list. TBI's can be tough to deal with...for both the survivor and care givers. I will keep them all in my prayers.

    Oh, no. That's terrible news. I won't be attending Mass tomorrow, but I'll throw in a few Hail Mary's for him. I hope he gets well soon- even though it'll be a long recovery. I'm glad that someone found him before he'd been there too long.

    Yikes... no matter how good the prognosis, brain injuries are always scary. Here's to a full recovery from all of his injuries, and a swift (and safe) return to the saddle!
