Hello All, 
As many of you know, Tim Vannoy (Rita Beth’s husband) has had a tragic accident. Last Tuesday he feel off of a waterfall in Chimney Rock and was airlifted to Mission. Initially they found a severe brain injury, a broken femur, and a collapsed lung. They decided to put a shunt in his brain to help with the bleeding, and the next day fix his femur. They also decided he would need facial reconstruction surgery at some point. He is intubated and sedated to help his body rest.  Since then they have stabilized him. He has had a few other issues pop up that they have addressed over the last week. They are giving him antibiotics for possible pneumonia, they have found brain  aneurysms which are being watched closely. They think  the brain aneurysms are from his blood pressure raising so high from the pain. He is responding to touch and his pupils are responding to light. He was getting really agitated from all the poking and prodding, so they are hopeful that if he can come out of the brain injury then he will be able to recover from this. Luckily he was a very active and healthy young man before the accident and the doctors say that is really on his side! 

Tim, and his whole family are in real need of your prayers. They are such a sweet little family. Rita is spending every night and the hospital while she spends most of the day with the Tim Jr and Callie. We must rally around them with our love and support! 
For those asking how we can help them, you can either bring a gift card for Rita to use while going back and forth to the hospital, for gas or food. You may also write a check to the church and we will make sure it gets to her and she can use it for whatever need may pop up!

Thank you all for the prayers, they are so appreciated! If you have any questions or concerns please call me directly, I am in almost constant contact with Rita and will pass along any prayers and messages along! 8283296145 
God bless you all,
