Please keep Lyn Flaharty, wife of NCA board member Gene Flaharty, in your thoughts and prayers. Lyn suffered a serious fall before Christmas and is still in a coma. Here are two posts from Gene's Facebook page about the situation:
Dec 22 To all my Facebook family. I'm asking for prayers for my wife. Lyn. She had a fall early sunday morning and when I went to wake her for church that morning she was nonresponsive. 911 was called she was stabilized in the ER for a Brain bleed. Surgery was the only option. Three hours later, they were able to remove all the blood and stop the bleeding and close her up. Now she is ICU on a ventilator and heavy sedation until tomorrow. We won't know until then how much damage has been done. We are hopeful that she will be able to come home.
Update: Dec 27 Tuesday she was off sedation and having some small responses. Wed. They did a EEG to check brain activity they found that she was having brain seizures. They put her back on heavy sedation and started meds to stop the seizures. As of Thur they had not stopped. Fri they started a stronger med. They will wait 24 hrs then back off the sedation to see if she responds. Next week they will do a tracheotomy for the ventilator and do a CT to check on the damaged area. So for now it's just waiting. Thanks for all your love, prayers and support.
