I don't know him--but of course my prayers are with him.
On a more practical note: How much support does he have out there?
Is there anyone who can tell people (like me) what kind of (earthly) support is needed. Who is watching the children? Do they need financial suupport? Are they insured? Is there a way people can help. If you know, please post this kind of information.
Also, please convey to any family memebers-- do you need anyone--doctors or such-- to liase with the medical community. Too often, family members do not know the right kind of questions to ask. Any requests for help should be posted in this thread. I am sure that people will be watching. If you are speaking to any responsible family members and will not violate the family's feelings of privacy, please let people know. Maybe we can help.
