prayers needed for FIL

[carolinagirl831]

My father in law was in a biking (not motorcycle) accident today.  We still don't know all the details. He and MIL are 600 miles away and were out of town on a day biking trip.  He was not wearing a helmet and fell while biking (we don't know the details of what happened really) Anyways he has skull fractures and brain bleeds.  He is in a drug induced coma and being flown to University of Iowa to see the Neurosurgeon. He is 60 years old and was in great health prior to this.  

His mom texted us at 6:00 with very little details saying her phone had 3% battery and she has no charger, that FIL had been in a accident for all the siblings to meet her at the University of Iowa All DH's siblings all live about 3 hours from there and are on their way. We just bought DH a plane ticket for tomorrow morning. We have been frantically calling the hospital for any information. 


It's so hard not knowing any information and being so far away.  hermione I know you have just been through something similar.  

Thanks, any thoughts and prayers would be appreciated.

Best wishes for your FIL and the rest of the family.

The nurses station usually has spare phone chargers. If you get a hold of FIL's nurse, you could ask them to help MIL locate a charger.
