New Year Accident

I know you are wondering where I am, this week has not gone as expected.
Last Sunday my husband Jeff had lifted the hood on his company truck to check the engine for a miss he thought he heard (Jeff was an automotive technician for over 20 years), he waited a few seconds, then climbed on to the bumper to look inside, the hood came down on his head.
Jeff has about a 2 inch gash/laceration just above his hairline in the center of his head.
I took him to the ER, his wound required 7 staples, he has a concussion.
Each day he gets better, less fuzzy thinking, stronger.
I'm not letting him drive yet, not sure when he'll go back to work.
Pray for his recovery, I feel he is getting better, but we would love your prayers!

Wound pre-stapling.


Thank you.
Annette

Wow! That looks bad. I thought that was his mouth, but then I was wondering why there was hair over his eyes, then I realized that is the top of his head.

I prayed for your husband, I know he will get better soon.

That happened to one of my sisters from church a few years ago. She said she had her head under the hood of her car, and before you know it, it had slammed down on her, and the bad thing was, it was still in gear.

I keep thinking of how much blood there must have been.
