jack pickens at west penn burn unit update

please pray for him to have the strength to survive the lung burns and to accept that his eyes cannot be saved-huntung is his life and im not sure he will be able to go on without his eyes

Hang in there

Hang in there Jack,I don't know you personally but I'm praying for you and your family.

Still Praying...

Wow... My mother survived the Cocoanut Grove Fire in Boston... she was not badly burned...but traumatized by not saving more people... she will be ninety this July, God Willing. My father was a plastic surgeon and burn treatment "pioneer" many yrs ago as well... So much devestation. Eyes and Sight.... My mother is an artist and nearly blind now... Her experiences have taught me alot about losing eye sight. She still SEES what she rememebers in her mind. I hope that Jack can use these Memories he has and to LISTEN to the sounds in the woods in his memories as well.
May his Good Lord HEAL his lungs so that he WILL get out to the woods and hunt again... many of us have some sort of disability that limits our hunting BUT... EVERY moment out there that we do Have or HAD... give us something that a "normal" person might not understand....
We are continually praying that Jack gets well... All of his friends and family have to keep his spirits UP and let him dream of getting out to hear the hounds sing in the woods....

With thoughts and Prayers, Heather and Family
