Pleasantly surprised!

sawmill squaw:
Well.  I am pleasantly surprised to find this 'department' in this forum!  I come here looking for info on sawmills and find a bunch of Brothers in Christ!  (haven't seen any Sisters yet...apologies if you're out there!) 

I found out last week that a guy I went to school with in Nome, Alaska was mauled severely by a grizzly bear.  Wes Perkins is his name.  He's now in Seattle in the hospital.  Last week they did surgery on his eye but won't know till maybe sometime this week if they were able to save his vision.  Last report I had said he would have surgery to reconstruct his jaw this week.  At the beginning of this year, Wes lost his wife, whom I graduated with, to cancer.  They have 2 or 3 teen aged children.  Please keep this family in much prayer for Wes' recovery, for spiritual comfort and for finances.  Also, I would add there may be need of salvation.  I haven't seen Wes in more yrs than I would care to say but I'm going to assume from 'grapevine news' that it's needed.  A benefit fund raiser was held Sat and it is said that quite a bit of money was raised.  Figure what a regular ambulance ride is here in the "lower 48" then try to imagine what Medi-Vac flight from Nome to Anchorage (reg. auto fuel is about twice what it is here in TX, now figure jet fuel as the only way in/out of Nome is to fly) then on to Seattle.  Not to mention hospital expenses! 

below is link to the first news article I received from mutual friend still in Nome:

I'm telling all Believers I know to get as many prayers going up as possible.  To God be all the glory!!!  Pray for Father God to show up and show out!

Thank y'all!

Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner":
Praying for a successful recovery and quickly. ;D

Kirk Allen:
Sorry for the dealy, been on the road. Prayers are with them! 

sawmill squaw:
I'm waiting on news of Wes' current progress.  Will update when I find out something.  And thank you both for your prayers! 

Kirk Allen:
If they transported him to Seattle I am betting he will make it! 

I spent 12 years on Anchorage and I bet he needed a specialist for his surgery's as those are slim pickins in Anchorage.
