Henry had another cleaning today that went great and they have removed all the wound vacs from his wounds. They also put his in a special chair and let his sit and look out the window for a while. I know he liked that.

The Benefit

I just wanted to take a minute and thank Brian, Mark, Mike, Troy, Todd, Jamie and their families for all the hard work they are doing for the benefit. They came up with the idea to host this benefit and are scrambling to make it happen.
I'm just the web advertiser and my wife Mechelle does most of that. Anyway, thanks to all of you and thanks for taking such good care of Henry.

Henry had a good weekend. It was really nice to be there for his best weekend yet. He looks so much better now and his mind is a lot sharper. Henry has never been much of a computer person but Mark and I have asked him to start thinking about using a computer more while he is recovering. We showed him all that has been posted and he is very thankful for all the support.
I look forward to seeing him again in a month, this weekend was too short.

On Friday, June 25th, Henry was at a nursing home in Erie to diagnose a problem with a Japanese Weeping Cherry. At 11:20 am he was struck by a car while standing next to the tree.

Thankfully the same tree that Henry was inspecting, levered against the wall and saved his

life, but not without cost.

Since that time, Henry has had 12 surgeries and is working hard to recover from his injuries. His

healing process will be long and intense over the next months.

Your support and prayers WILL make a difference!

The cleaning surgery went just fine. Henry recovered much more quickly this time. I talked to him on the phone on Monday, it was good to hear his voice. He gets tired pretty quick though, he has been immobile for over a month now with only one arm moving. He told me it would be nice when he can sit up again and stand. My guess is that he just wants to be able to punch his brother for posting all his business on the internet;) But thanks to you all who have followed his recovery here. I know this site has taken a load off of Mom and Barb. Thanks also to all the contributors.

Tuesday July 27th

Henry is going in for a cleaning today. Dan and I were under the impression he was done being put under the anesthesia for awhile but we were wrong. Henry still has to get the cleanings and new suction tubes put in his leg and we are assuming his elbow.

Please pray for Henry he has had a rough time coming out of the anesthesia the last couple of times. We will be there this weekend we will be able to share more details. Can't wait to see everyone but mostly Henry!!!
