Josh was on the derrick and a chain wrapped around him and cut one leg off and crushed his hip and the other leg. please pray for him. he's in the hospital at Little Rock, Arkansas. he's 20.

there was a young man there who had just finished a tour in Iraq and he saved his life. he's a medic. the doctors said that Josh would have died in 6 minutes if the medic hadn't done what he did where the leg was cut off. he kept him from bleeding to death.

thanks, pat, keith, kathy, erin, lorene

oil field work is dangerous. i used to work for an oil producer and remember a few accidents on rigs then.

the medical team are very worried that they are having to keep removing tissue from the amputation site. he continues to bleed and had another surgery today. the other hip has three pins in it and i have no idea about the leg. it was crushed.

thank you all for prayers and good thoughts.......xoxoxo pat

he is kept under due to the severity of the pain. he will have another surgery tomorrow. they can't stop the bleeding and i understand that. big arteries there and the wound site is so dirty and cleaning it keeps the bleeding going........
