I WAS AT UVA ON AUG.21ST WITH MY HUSBAND, AND HEARD THIS NEWS ABOUT DAVID BLACKWELL WHILE SITTING IN THE LOBBY. I CAME HOME AND I’VE BEEN PRAYING FOR THIS MAN. I LIVE IN NOTTOWAY CO. KEEP ME UPDATED ON HOW DAVID IS DOING. I DON’T KNOW HIM OR ANY OF THE FAMILY, JUST HEARD THE NEWS WHILE AT UVA HOSPITAL.
PRAYERS GOING UP FOR THIS MAN! KEEP TRUSTING IN GOD!
Th ank you so much for your kindness. My husband remained in the Burn Trauma ICU until last FFriday the 12th. He has a infection in his blood stream and remains on a feeding tube. He will be undergoing a long recuperation with plastic surgery. He is now in South Health Rehab Center. Thank you and keep in touch. God Bless.
