We spent a good part of this last weekend in the hospital. My cousin AJ was stabbed 5 times at about 2AM on Friday morning as he and a friend were leaving the bars. The guy that did this had a punch knife, so AJ didn't even know he was being stabbed until the guy ran away. I got the call early on Friday morning, around 7AM. At that time he was stable in the ICU. By 8AM, he was loosing consciousness due to internal bleeding and he was being rushed into surgery. We left immediately for the hospital to wait. The surgery went well. He had an artery that was nicked during the stabbing, but the surgeons were able to fix it with one stitch. We went back to see him at the hospital yesterday, and he was doing much better. Still moving very slow, and clearly in pain, but his spirits were up. He has been in contact with the investigators, and there is a good chance that the guy that did this will be caught and justice will be served.
Life really is so precious, and you never know when it could be jeopardized. Please pray for AJ, for a speedy recovery, and for justice.
