Larry Schut and his testimony of the power of prayer

I recieved the following email from Larry when he changed his email address.  He had mentioned he had an accident last Oct. shortly after the reunion and I asked him what happened.  Here is his rely.
 "Last Summer (2011) I started building the workshop I had been dreaming of for my retirement.  I was out on the roof and when my wife looked out the window I was lying on the ground crying in pain and bleeding from my head.  The fall had been about 9 feet and I landed on cement.  I spent 4 hours in the local emergency room where they were trying to determine the damage.  At that point they found 9 broken ribs, 7 cracks in my vertebrae, two breaks in my right shoulder and a hair line fracture in my skull.  They sent me by ambulance to Oklahoma City to the trauma center, and for the next three weeks if it was not one thing it was another.  My lungs had been punctured and collapsed, I came down with a bad case of pneumonia, I developed a blood clot in my lungs, one in each leg and one in each arm.  During the second week my body started swelling and I was at least twice my size.  On the third week I contracted the disease they call the Iraqi disease.  My body metablolism was all messed up and they had to put in a trach and a ventilator as I was not able to breath on my own.  I was then transferred to another trauma center and put into an induced coma for the next five weeks.  The doctors gave my wife no hope that I would survive.  On Nov. 30 my wife and daughters called for a special night of prayer for me.  That call went to friends of ours from coast to coast as well as in England. After that night they started removing the tubes and everything else over the next week.  On Dec. 11 I officially came out of the coma and talked to my wife for the first time in 8 weeks.  On Dec. 13 I was moved to a nursing home and officially came home on Jan. 3, 2012.  I am doing very well, but I still suffer from a light headedness and was told that may go away over a period of time.  I am now known by many people as the miracle man.  I firmly believe that if I had not had that prayer covering I would never have survived.

That is about as short as I can make it.  I have learned that I have truly been blessed with a lot of friends who really do care about me.  thank you for your interest.  "

I'm with you Larry....I believe in the power of prayer.  Now, miracle man or not, please stay off of roofs and just have fun in your workshop.
