BIGGEST LOSER: SAM POUEU UPDATE AFTER CRITICAL INJURY

Yesterday I posted that Sam Poueu, a contestant on the Biggest Loser's Season 9, was seriously hurt in a fall. http://chewandchat.blogspot.com/2011/09/biggest-loser-sam-poueu-seriously-hurt.html

He is in critical condition, according to his sister, Sherry Poueu, 

who posted this update on Sam's Facebook page today:

"As many of you know, my brother was in a horrible accident and suffered a fall causing many serious injuries. He has made encouraging strides in his recovery the last two days. 

On behalf of our family I want to thank everyone for their prayers, kind words and support. We have read to Sam so many of the comments and thoughts many of you have shared. 

We pray with him and talk to him and he is fighting for his life every moment. One of his fans posted 'Fight this fight like you live your life' and that’s exactly what he is doing. 

He is still in critical condition in ICU and surrounded by his family. Right now pray for God's will to strengthen and heal him. He has a great team in the trauma unit caring for him. Your continued prayers are appreciated. Keep the faith. All things are possible with God. Thank you."
