Title: Joe Coots
Post by: joe skipp on March 06, 2014, 01:55:00 PM
Kim and I are Facebook friends...she posted this the other day. Got her permission to post here on TG. Get well soon Joe...going to take a lot of time.

Prayers for Joe please. He was in a car accident this morning at 5:30 and we are still at the hospital. Infinity totaled, but he is alive and talking Praise God! Head and chest pain and can't seem to stay conscious. Running more tests and doing another set of scans now. Been a long morning.

March 6th...
Kim Coots Ok so not sure about this, but the trauma dr thinks the random passing out is from abdominal pain/bruising. Other than a huge lump on the head, fractured sternum and 2 broken ribs he is OK. Joe has to be watched for the next 4 days and not left alone. Thank you all for the prayers. The EMTs found me in the hall and reiterated what the officer had already told me twice. It's a miricle Joe is here today. Still haven't seen the car, but these guys see it all and they were in awe that he is in as good of shape as he is. God is so good.

Prayers will be offered for Joe and his family. He is much more than a friend to the trad archery community, he is a fine person who lives his faith and is a contributor to all that is good in our way of life. God will watch over him and his family.

You guys bring tears to my eyes....thank you all for your kind words and most of all lifting me up in prayer.

Going to clock out, meds are peaking....but here is the post from pow wow. You guys are awesome and I love you all dearly.

Guys, moment of lucidity here....quick post while I'm awake. Many thanks to all my brothers for all the kind words, calls, emails, and most of all prayers. You're too kind for posting Joe, you are always a dear friend. Terry, I'll call you when I can talk, tough with tiny breaths right now.

Long story short, I was following behind a large panel van too closely 5:15 tues morning on the way to work, he made a dramatic up on two wheels swerve that left me face to face with a parked semi. As my Pap-paw used to say, if yer gonna be dumb, you've got to be tough. Cracked sternum and two broke ribs from nothing but the seatbelt and airbag...not a scratch otherwise, absolute miracle I wasn't killed, maimed and no one else was injured. I'm surprised i can't see the feather shaped bruises from the angels wings cause that's the only explanation. They let me come home but have my share of pain to endure while things heal. I can guarantee it's a lesson I will not forget and am quite convinced God has some other plan for my near future. I pray I will prove worthy of another shot.

Joe,

Been out of touch here a few days... but oh, my... in the blink of an eye, eh?

I remember all too well how you lifted me up back years ago when Mom passed, and thru dad's trials...you were always there being a prayer warrior for me.

Now it's our turn to pay it forward.  

In this fallen world, sometimes bad things happen to good people, but then again, there are times when God's hand is right where it needs to be.

Keep the Son in your eyes, JC...

Prayers to you Joe, God is still in charge, at times like this we find out how much. Prayers to the family as well..... cause if youre the kind of patient I am, they need all the help they can get..lol. I know what you mean of the Lord having a plan ahead for you, number of years back I fell out of a tree stand 24'high in the dead dark. Landed flat of my back with only the breath knocked out of me.. divine intervention proved itself to me that cold November morning.

Take care
