Please pray for two distant acquaintances who were mangled by the houseboat's propeller. These two young men, with a very remarkable Catholic family history, are from the Canadian Prairies and probably not very familiar with boats, esp houseboats. Like, this family was promoting the Trad Latin Mass with Fr. Yves Normandin (R.I.P. +) before most of you were even born!
The incident goes something like this:
Friends were celebrating an upcoming wedding and were enjoying a houseboat experience on a lake. There were no girls invited.
The house boat was towing a large rubber tube - just for fun. At one point Mr. X standing on the boat was touching the rope and he accidently fell in the lake. I think his brother, Mr L, jumped in to rescue him but both were sucked in, under the boat, and were cut by the propeller. I will spare the details of their injuries but both have life-altering injuries.
Today Mr. L, married, will be allowed to come out of the induced coma...if he can even survive!! He lost his arm.
Mr. X had his foot sewn back on and we pray / hope he will make a speedy recovery.
Prayers to help all those affected.
"Hail Mary, full of grace..." +

Any update on how they are doing? :pray:
Mauricio (The first man injured) and Morgan (the one who tried to save Mauricio)
Previous Updates:
"Morgan's foot is attached and they'll wait one week before they do surgery and finalize it. They just want to make sure the foot will survive and blood flow will happen."
"Mauricio is in an out of consciousness and still seriously drugged. He's breathing on his own now though! What prompted them taking out his tubes was that he ripped them out Fri morning while half conscious. The doctors are now afraid of infection so prayers are still greatly appreciated. As for right now we know he'll be in the British Columbia hospital for at least 2.5 months and then transferred to the Alberta one for another few months."
"Morgan is now moved to the Alberta hospital. Amputation wasn't necessary and it seems they were able to re-attach everything so he shouldn't need another surgery. He also had surgery on his knee. It seems he won't be able to walk for 6 months."
Update on Sunday, Aug 10:
"The doctors have been slowly decreasing Mauricio's medications since Thurs so he can wake up: he was 3/4 conscious but started ripping out his tubes so they had to sedate him and tie him to his bed. At around 3pm, he regained consciousness again, this time fully, with just enough medication for pain management. He's fully aware now that he lost his arm and how bad his condition is, but has taken everything with good humour and jokes!! For now he doesn't want to see anyone, including family, except his wife. He's taking all with a fighter's spirit and his family is deeply grateful to everyone who has been storming heaven - this is certainly all a work of GRACE! Please continue to pray for him as when he sleeps he becomes delirious and is reliving the accident. The doctors will up his medication tonight in homes of helping him through this extremely difficult time."

Thank you much for the update. The man with the most serious injuries has received at least 20 litres of blood so far...almost equivalent to 20 quarts!!! :pray:
