Pray For Lance

On Monday night we were at another riveting coed softball game in Pleasant Grove. My brother-in-law Lance was pitching and took a ball straight to his face. He immediately went to the Emergency Room and had several tests done. They weren't much help but he got into a specialist the next day. He had to go in for emergency surgery. The ball had hit him so hard that it shattered his face. He had to get three permanent plates, one dissolvable(sp?) one, and about 15 screws into his face. They had to take his eye lid off so they could get into his head, they put one plate above his eye and one below. The third plate they went through the roof of his mouth for his jaw. He also fractured the other side of his face but there isn't anything they can do other than be careful.

On top of all of this Lance was supposed to be deployed today. He won't be leaving until November. He is doing pretty well but it's only been two days since he had surgery. So please remember him and his family in your prayers.
