******attn prayers and help needed for one of our own*****

From last evening on FB:

Owen Perkins update. First and foremost those that know him realize he goes by the name Hobbit. So as you can see this is how he's addressed by the staff at Miami Valley. (Although it's spelled wrong on that board). The Dr. came in and said "Hey Hobbit, this is your night nurse!" So with that being said, he's a big hot mess. Had surgery on his leg it's set with rods and pins. His broken arm is wrapped and surgery is soon for that. His left eye is swollen and pretty much hidden in the puffiness. Loads of stitches ...forehead and nose. He said many reconstructive surgeries necessary there. He's in a neck brace and there is concern about his spine which is badly bruised. He was coherent but undoubtedly in a great deal of pain. I knew he was drugged up when he said he loved me and I was like a sister to him. His blood pressure is very low but he's on medication to raise it. I asked if he was up for visitors and he said, "Oh yea, as long as they bring 3 blondes and lots of singles!" I'm going to attempt to see him at least once a week. This road will be long and difficult. He's aware of it, and determined. That's a start!

Thanks for the update Andy. I like that he's going by 'Hobbit' even through adversity! Be sure to give him our best regards and wishes when you visit please.

Thanks,

Clive

God I do hope and pray he's OK, My prayers are with him.
 
Man...I'm glad that Hobbit has made it through the roughest part. The first hours are the worst.

Please forward my thoughts and encouragement for his long recovery process. It's not easy, but it can be done...one step at a time.

I've followed the thread since it first posted and have held my breath to this point. We are all breathing a small sigh of relief now and will send every bit of energy towards our friend from here on.
Courage and strength create their own healing. Hobbit has a ton of both.
 
Owen... WTF?!... Holding my breath, waiting for your next post...
Andy, thanx for tracking this and please forward my love and healing energies... :applause:
 
im going to ask my neighbor to say a prayer for him (the Priest),and i will say one as well.i wish for a full recovery for Hobbit.
 
I got in to see him this evening. They moved Owen out of intensive care this morning. He has a long way to go and four more surgeries over the next year, but his progress has been amazing so far. The nurse told me that he's getting lots of visitors now. Room 4413 Miami Valley Hospital.

They've arrested the hit and run driver, an experienced lawyer has taken Hobbit's case, and there is a video showing the whole thing, so they have a strong case.

The Area Code is 937. Someone would need to answer for him, as he's immobile, and on morphine, and oxycontin pain killers.

They initially thought he would be in the Hospital at least a month, but he seems to be ahead of that schedule so far.
 
Relieved to hear he continues to improve. This is why I invested in a dash-cam years ago. Hopefully, he can sue the pants of that other guy and be set for life.
 
hobbit update

I talked to owen today. he is doing better. they have him off the morphine now. he's still bed ridden and they have to "turn" him still. He says he's OK even though he's pretty messed up. I passed all of your concerns and prayers on to him. told me to thank everyone for them. so Thank You from the hobbit. :wavey:
 
I've been out of the CFS3 loop for a while, and just popped by to see what's been happening.

I'm absolutely heartbroken to hear such a kind and gentle soul has suffered such an accident. Owen has helped me with any and all my mission building questions.

But I'm so relieved to hear that our dear friend is recovering and is doing better. Even though we're all separated geographically, I believe that we are a family. And Owen is a wonderful member of our wonderful CFS3 family.

My thoughts, good wishes, and prayers are with Owen and his family during this time.

Hobbit news

just talked to owen and nurses. they have him fully juiced up. he's still listed as serious condition. no complications so far. he's in good spirits. he has pretty nurses tending him. so that's a happy perk for him. healing is slow but progressing. it will still be a couple of weeks before he can get out of bed. he hasn't seen this thread. but he again thanks everyone posting.
