We got news last night that Kendal’s Uncle DuWayne had a tree trimming accident yesterday. He fell out of the tree and onto his noggin. The fall shattered his C1 and broke his C4 and C5. From what his wife tells us (and I’m totally plagiarizing you Sheila), C1 controls breathing, so at this time he has been intubated and hooked up to a respirator. C4 and C5 involves the arms. DuWayne has some numbness and the left is weaker than his right. He is currently on steroids to prevent his brain & spinal cord from swelling. The neurosurgeon got him in a halo this morning, so now his wife calls him her “Tarnished Angel”.

We are all crazy about our beloved Uncle DuWayne, so please keep him in your thoughts and prayers (or whatever it is you do).
