This is what was predicted.....He was on his way home from his garage from working on his truck, he blacked out and ran off the left hand side of the road. Struck a parked(empty) van, cut it in 2 pieces, pushed the van 150 ft into the woods and struck a tree. In the process of that, he was ejected from the truck. Just keep him and his family in your prayers. Will let know more details when we hear them.
Just got back from hospital, Chuck's surgery went good. They're going to try and take him off the ventilator tomorrow. Continue to keep him and the family in your prayers.
They pulled him off the ventilator today. But had to put him back on it. Because his heart rate was to high. they are gone to try and take it off again tomorrow.Thanks for caring all prays needed.
Chuck had some kind of an unseen ruptured organ (?), that caused a pretty bad infection in his abdomen. He went thru an emergency surgery, and they have to watch him very close. There are no visitors allowed for the next few days until they see how his condition improves
Keep us posted.....maybe we can do another ''send a card'' type of deal. I have seen that in the past. Probably to early now, but it would be cool to do that. Everyone send a card from the board. That would probably help boost Chucks spirits quite a bit, as he recovers.
Here is a link to an information page that tells his condition and is fequently updated. http://caringbridge.org/visit/chuckmsmith
Thanks so much!
Chuck we are pulling for ya! Hope you have a speedy recovery.
