Our friend Ric

Has had an accident. The following message from Viki, his wife, is all the information I have so don’t bother asking for more:

“Ric has had an industrial accident and is currently undergoing brain surgery in Foothills Hospital in Calgary. All your prayers please. Viki”

I will update when I get more information. I hate this kind of message. Its scary and leaves way too much room for interpretation. I hope it isn’t as omninous as it sounds.

I’m sending my prayers, good thoughts and love.

UPDATE – A post on Viki’s blog

“PROGRESS REPORT
I’m posting from the family room of Intensive Care Unit at Foothills Hospital in Calgary. Ric fell off the water truck late yesterday afternoon and sustained brain injury. He was airlifted from Three Hills hospital at 9:00 pm. They operated last night. Heather & I arrived about midnight and he had just been moved to ICU. There’s been no change in his condition, but looks like he has a new zipper on his head. He seems to be comfortable, but is not yet awake. We’re praying my next post will be from home very soon and he’s well on the road to recovery. Haven’t seen his attending doctor yet. Erica is on her way here now. bbfn

Here’s Ric’s blog in case you’re wondering about who he is. I can tell you anyway, he’s a damned good egg.
