There is an URGENT prayer request for a brother in Christ named Roger Blevins. Bro. Blevins was a missionary in Spain for many years and is now the South American Director for BIMI. He was driving home the other night and was hit by a drunk driver. He was air lifted to Atlanta Medical Center where he is in CRITICAL condition. He urgently needs the prayers of all of God's people. Click below to read what his son posted on the BIMI website about what happened.
From Mark Blevins:
On Sunday morning February 3 at 3:21 AM, Roger (Dad) was hit head-on by a drunk driver. He had gotten up and left just after 3 to travel to Boone, NC for a speaking engagement that morning. He got 2.8 miles from his house when the accident took place.
He was life flighted to Atlanta Medical Center. At the scene he had an episode of Cardiac arrest and was stabilized. Upon touching down on the helipad he had a 2nd cardiac arrest at which point he coded and they brought him back.
Both femurs were crushed and one of the main arteries in his right leg burst. The first day he received 33 units of blood. They initially thought he would lose his right leg but after several hours of surgery they were able to re-establish a pulse in his leg. They eventually were able to repair the artery. The extent of other injuries is still unknown. He is listed in Critical condition. Due to the amount of trauma they have used external fixcators to stabilize both legs and will later have to begin the process of fixing the bones. He is doing as well as possible but is still considered touch -and-go and is still considered Critical.
He is heavily sedated and on a paralytic narcotic so that his body rests and he does no further damage to himself. He is on a ventilator and the machines are doing everything for him. They were able to take him off 2 high dosage blood pressure drugs and his body has, so far, maintained a "good" blood pressure level.
Please be in much prayer and share this information with our many friends!
The Blevins family has been overwhelmed with calls and text messages of love and compassion. They would love to be able to respond to each call; however, at this time it would be impossible. For that reason, the family will make one call to BIMI with all updates. Therefore, please check BIMI's website or contact BIMI for any updates. |
