Bring My Son Home

I am his mother.  His name is Joseph.   I live in Florida.  My son lives alone  in Indiana.  On July 26, 2016 my son left his home to help a friend cut a tree down.   my son climbed the tree with a chain saw and started cutting.  His friend stated, because the tree was hollow, it gave way and both the tree and my son fell to the ground.  My son landed on his head.  My son's friend was in another tree when this happened and immediately called 911.  He had brain surgery to remove a blood clot.  He has been in icu ever since.  Todate he has not responded.  The dr's say if and when he does respond, it's going to take months of treatment and therapy but there is no guarantee that he will ever be normal again.  My son has no family there.  He has good friends who have been there for him but have to get back to thier own lives.  Here in florida he has a twin sister who loves him very, very much as well as his brother who also loves him and will help care for him.  His father lives in fl. as well as his step sister and brothers.  If they can, they can visit him any time they want.  We are all family.  My grandson, my son's boy lives and works in Colorado.  The type of job he has  requires that he be there.  However, he was able to take 5 days and was by his father's side 3 days after the accident.  Seeing his father's condition, he couldn't leave and reguested to take another 5 days to be with his dad and we thank the good Lord for that.  News about my son traveled  quickly through his twin sisters followers on face book, family, friends and people we don't even know started prays .   Joey's father alerted his congregations as well as my nephew who alerted his in San Diago, of Joey's condition  which also generated thousands of prays across the country.  At this time my family and i want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of our hearts for all your prays and  well wishes.  God bless you all.  My daughter of course will continue to up date her brothers condition on face book.  We truly believe that family and the power of pray will bring our Joey back to us.  The proof of this was seen when his son was there.  Approximately two days of holding his dads hand; telling him he loves him etc. his dad squeezed his hand very hard it only happened once that day.  When my grandson told me this, i responded by saying, " Praise God, Praise God " .  Then I told him why.   I said " do you know what your being there has done ? "   I explained that I believe his dad has been in a dark place since the accident maybe even imagining  that he was gone.   You my grandson brought him out of the dark, now he knows he's alive.  now he will fight to stay alive.  My son is a fighter and will never give up.   Every day after that we heard little things like moving a leg or an arm but as days went by he would say he's  trying to grab his pillow his arm is up things like that.  Although the nurses say he still hasn't responded  to command, but hearing those stories from my grandson stll gave us hope.    Since his son has been gone and per the nurse's i have spoken  with say, there has been very little movement, plus visiters have dwindled down to maybe one or two now  and again.  I believe because of this he is losing  hope.  Not hearing from his son any more or any other family member or friends.  mostly family i believe.  No one here has money.  Like most people today we too  live pay check to pay check.  I have been working with the social worker so they can file for medicade to get some of the hospital bills paid.   I have a spare bedroom here for my son.   I have to speak with his drs  about transferring him to a local hospital so his family can be with him on a daily basis.  His rent also has to be paid every thing he has worked hard for all his life is in that house.   The time frame will be determind at a later date.    Also, he has to decide if he wants to move to fl. with his family  or stay in Indiana.   Only he can make that decision.  If he does choose to stay in fl.  and we all pray he does than the cost of moving will be needed as well.  I have been sitting here most of the day on and off.   It's just so hard to accept that i'm writting these words about my son.  I know i am speaking for all you mothers out there when i say, this is truly a mothers nightmare.  no matter how old they, you always worry that one day your going to get tha phone call.  unfortunately, i can tell you now first hand, that is the day your whole  world is turned up side down.
