Prayers Needed

Earlier today my little nephew Jacob fell off a wall and landed on his face. He was taken by ambulance to a trauma center, and is in ICU where they are monitering him closely. He has skull fractures and his right eye is swollen shut. The doctors say there is no swelling of the brain as of yet, but the concern is that a bleed will start. They have let him sleep some, and he is still wearing a neck brace. They are encouraged that he does cry when he is awake. He has undergone at least 2 CT scans so far. They haven't given a lot of details on what the treatment plan will be. They did mention that there was a concern that they don't want the skull fractures to heal too quickly either. I will be on a plane out to Hemet tomorrow. Your prayers for Jacob and his family would be appreciated. Thanks.
