Prayer request

[slagmaker]

this is a request for a fellow hunter/trapper.

OK, Over at one of the other boards "Midwestpredator" they have had a tragic event happen. Tim Rose, there trapping moderator found hihs 4 year old son floating face down in there pond yesterday evening. They have him revived but he is still i n a coma, he is in the Intenseive care unit at Rileys hospital in Indianapolis. They estamate he was not breathing for at least 20 minutes.

This family needs all the prayers they can get.

I know some of the FnF'rs go to that board so i didnt think anyone would mind me placing a prayer request here.

It is refreshing to see the outpouring of support for Tim and his family as they go through this tough time.   I just found out about it this morning and spent the better part of the day breaking news to our mutual friends on the phone.  This is a very unfortunate situation but there is still hope, so your thoughts and prayers are certainly appreciated.

Tim has done a lot for me, my trapping abilities and trapping in general.   We became friends a couple years ago after meeting at a trapping convention.  He and I ran for office together in the Indiana State Trappers Association and that was a very stressful time on us both... we weathered a furious storm together and when it started impacting his family life too much he stepped away to take care of what matters most.  His family.  I respect Tim as much as anyone out there today, and it pains me to know how much he's hurting right now.   

Tim and his wife have done many favors for me, my website and our organization... their children brought laughter and company to many boring days working a booth.  For all they have done for me, the least I can do for them is pray.  My biggest problem right now is sitting still... it feels like surely there is something I could be doing to help- but instead I wait.   Waiting on word that he is better, that CATSCANS came back clear and that everyone is coming home.   We can only hope- and pray.


I also just learned about an hour ago that my aunt was in a violent car accident.   She was thrown from the truck, through the windshield and suffered several laserations and crushed vertebrae.   This has been a very exhausting day, but at this point we have hope everyone will recover - victims and families - together.

[FinsnFur]

Sounds like she's lucky to be alive too Jason. I hope things come out well.

[Bopeye]

Wow.......what a difference a few hours can make.

That little boy and his family will be included in my prayers and will get them started on the prayer chains tonight.

The boy has showed signs of improvement!  They took him off the respirator this morning and are starting to back down the sedation... to wake him up.  Very positive signs, hopefully much more to come!


Here's a newspaper article on the situation-

Dad saves son from drowning
A 4-year-old Bartholomew boy had to be resuscitated Saturday evening after he was found face down in a pond in the southern part of the county.

Garrett J. Rose was found in the family's farm pond off Road 550S at about 5:45 p.m. by his father, Tim, who immediately started performing CPR, according to Bartholomew County Sheriff's Department public information officer Rob Kittle.

Deputies and one off-duty Columbus police officer responded to the call within six minutes.

Kittle said officers are unsure how Garrett got into the pond and how long the boy was in the water.

The boy was transported to Columbus Regional Hospital and arrived conscious and responsive, according to officers at the scene.

Garrett was then airlifted to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

"He was conscious and screaming on his way (to Riley) according to the officers at the hospital," said Kittle.

No condition report was available Saturday night; however, Kittle said the boy's body temperature was normal when he left CRH.
