He broke his ribs, which punctured his lungs. Emergency surgery was performed. It was then discovered that Roger, who had also hit his head during the fall, was suffering from double vision and other symptoms. We have now learned that these symptoms are being caused from bleeding in the brain. Canadian doctors tending Roger are trying to determine the severity of this. We ask you to please continue praying for Roger. The family has sent their thanks to all who have been praying. We are expecting another update sometime this weekend and will issue that update right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we reported on July&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-information","wpcat-5-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
