Prayers needed

[DD977GM2]

As some of you know Im in the oilfield and on a rig right now. I have also posted this on another site.

This night sucks even worse then I could think.

Im on a drilling rig in the middle of nowhere (nearest town is 40 miles on dirt road and population of 300) and
we had an accident.
We were tripping pipe and one of the roughnecks (floorhand his first hitch out here) got hit or pinned or both by the
tongs that are basically huge pipe wrenches.

They just took him off by flight for life. He gave me a thumbs up as they took him on a stretcher down from
the rig floor. He looks ok considering but could just be the morphine or whatever they gave him to help him out.
Had a flex cast on his arm and wraps around his chest and ribs. I couldnt tell if any injuries to his legs or head.

He is married and I dont know if he has any kids, but his Brother in Law is a floorhand with him. Id appreciate
if ya'll could throw some prayers to him and his family.

As for the driller, he is pretty shaken up and blaming himself as anyone would be that was running the break handle.
He probably could use some prayers, because that is part of his "Family" out here.

Appreciate it CO-AR15.

UPDATE #1- Flight for Life called the Company Man and told them he did great on the ride and is waiting for Xrays. Sounds optpmistic to me.

UPDATE #2- He is doing good. Suffered only a broken left arm and bruised chest and ribs. He is back out here. Not working of course but back from the hospital none the less.
I appreciate all the prayers and thoughts and good fortune his way. He is a good kid, hard worker and give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. Probably why I am kinda torn up overe him getting hurt.
