Prayers for the Fragale Family



A message from Monica :


On Sunday, Aug. 14 Barry was at the beach with family and friends when he was hit by a wave that snapped his neck forward. He was flown to Christiana Hospital, where he is currently in the ICU. He broke his neck and also suffered an incomplete spinal cord injury.


When he was first pulled from the ocean, he was paralyzed from the neck down. After two surgeries and four days in the hospital, he is getting movement back in his arms and feeling back in his feet.


Doctors have said it will be a long road ahead and are doing everything they can to help improve his chances of recovery. Once he is stabilized and his pneumonia is successfully treated, he will likely be transferred to a rehab facility where they can work on the next steps in his recovery.


Please pray that the paralysis is temporary and that he will continue to get more movement and sensations back. 


Barry, our daughters, and I appreciate all the prayers.
