Prayers Needed Urgently

Saturday night while we were out Trick or Treating, we found out that a friend of ours, Scott Richardson, had been rushed to the emergency room in Nashville, TN. They found out he had a brain aneurism. He also has a clot about the size of a beebee. He is currently in ICU and will remain there for at least the next two weeks. Saturday night the doctors drilled a hole in his skull to relieve some of the pressure on his brain and to let some of the accumulated blood drain. Sunday morning they did a procedure something like an angiogram on his brain. I'm not really clear on the reason behind that test. They are keeping him awake as much as possible so they can check him for brain swelling. For that same reason, they aren't able to give him as much pain medication as he needs. They haven't given the family any kind of a prognosis yet. This morning he appeared a little depressed to him mother. The doctors warned her that this may have caused a permanent personality change in him. Scott is only 29. Please say prayers for him and his healing. Pray for his family as they travel to be with him. His mother is planning on staying in Nashville for at least a month. Any prayers you can lift for this family will be greatly appreciated.
