New Officers at Craig Hospital:
(1) Agent Todd Gregory sent the following: Kyle Rosentreter, a deputy with the Carbon County S.O. in Rawlins, WY, was involved in an on-duty MVA on July 4th. Another vehicle had mechanical issues and struck him on the driver's A pillar when he was responding to a call. On July 13th Kyle was transferred to Craig Hospital (Englewood, CO). He is recovering from a broken neck, C6, and has limited movement due to the injury and swelling. Thank you for your continued prayer and support for the Warriors.
Please pray for Kyle and, if you are local, visit if you can. I plan on seeing him 07/22.
(2) Mineral County (CO) Deputy Scott Warrington sustained a serious line-of-duty spinal injury on the 4th of July. He is currently undergoing evaluation and rehap at Craig Hospital in Englewood. Please pray for Scott and, if you are local, visit him at Craig (in uniform if you can). Email me for specifics. I hope to see him on 07/22.
(3) Michigan Officer Max Faistenhammer is also at Craig Hospital undergoing rehab for his spinal injury. See previous posts for more details about Max and/or email me for further. Email me for his room number and/or check in with the staff on 3-East if you plan to visit. My next visit will be on 07/22.
(4) Ofc. Mike Severson from Wisconsin has been readmitted to Craig due to complications from a duty-related gun shot wound(s). Mike is on 3-West. I'll see him 07/22 as well.
Please join me in visiting if you're the Denver Front Range -- and lift them all in prayer regardless.
-- Sgt. Dino Heckermann in Illinois asks that we be in prayer for a colleague ("Doug") who is seeking to get back into the profession and who is also fighting for his marriage. Doug is a believer.
-- A deputy's wife is a finalist for a teaching position at a Christian charter school. Please pray for God's favor as well as peace and confidence during the interview process.
-- Continue to pray for Dep. Chris Dewey, his wife Emily, their family, and colleagues. I'll keep you posted on his status as I know it and/or you can sign up for updates on his Caring Bridge page: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/chrisdewey. See previous post on Chris for more details.
-- Pray for wisdom and godly guidance for the Colorado Parole Board reference the upcoming parole hearing for convicted serial rapist William Graham. Graham was convicted for the brutal assault on Denver PD Ofc. Kara Bilstein and is coming up for another shot at parole early next month. Graham has reportedly vowed to go after Kara if he is paroled. Graham needs to both come to Christ and finish serving his full 24-year sentence.
-- CJ with Grand Junction PD sent the following ref. a firefighter who battling leukemia: We have a GJFD Firefighter whose leukemia has come back and he is fighting a host of issues. His wife is one of our dispatchers and she is now with him at the hospital in Denver, after just getting out of the hospital herself only a couple of weeks ago. Their names are Meredith & Chris Bryson. We were asked to donate leave time for Meredith so she can stay with him but didn't get an update today on how he's doing. He's been fighting this about 2 1/2 years now and has stayed strong but it seems its the complications that are taking him down instead of the actual leukemia. UPDATE 07/19: I just learned the sad news that Chris passed-away this morning. Please keep Meredith, their family, and Chris's colleagues in your prayers.
-- Please continue to keep Denver PD Ofc. Allison Casias in prayer (spiritual and physical). See http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/allisoncasias for the latest updates.
