Prayers Requested for State Secretary's father - fractured his hip in 3 or 4 places

Brother Knights & Ladies,

Prayers are Requested for State Secretary Paul Dendary's father.  Last night (12/30/05) he fell and fractured his hip in 3 or 4 places.  He was care-flighted to Washoe Medical Center in Reno from Winnemucca.  They will operate tomorrow (1/1/06) at approximately 2:00 pm to replace his hip.  Because of his age and the blood clots in his leg the doctors gave him a 50-75% chance of making it through the 5 to 6 hour surgery.  

State Secretary Paul, asks for your prayers for his father.  He will be flying to Reno tomorrow morning to be with his father.  

Please keep the State Secretary's father and the Dendary family in your prayers.    

Vivat Jesus,
State Council

Prayers Requested

Brothers,   Your prayers are requested for Sir Knight Donald Livingston, PGK of Council 9102. He sustained a serious trauma as his vehicle slipped while he was working underneath it. He underwent surgery at the UMC Trauma Center.

Fortunately, Brother Don's injury wasn't nearly as as grim as first described. His injury was only to his jaw, and not to his head, so success is much more likely than we were first told. He has made it through his surgery, where it was necessary for a plate to be inserted into his jaw and for his jaw to be wired shut. The injury was sustained on Sunday Oct 30th after losing control of a four wheeler being loaded into his truck.

Your thoughts and prayers for Don's recovery are certainly still needed and appreciated.
