Bruno Paulista, my sons' jujitsu instructor, has suffered a car accident while on a visit to Brazil. According to another jujitsu mom he just woke up from a medically-induced coma at a hospital in Brazil (from last Thursday to today, which is Tuesday) and has injuries to his face, head and neck. He had been forced off a mountain road and fell into a ravine at Morro De Lagoa in his hometown of Florianopolis in Southern Brazil. Please pray for his swift and full recovery.
Update: I was at the dojo today (April 29th) with my boys and the word is:
*Bruno's trachea was injured in the accident and he has difficulty speaking because of that.
*He had some brain swelling but they relieved that and he now recognizes people and remembers us in America.
*He has extensive stitches across his nose and eyebrows.
*He will be in Brazil for some weeks recovering. He is still in the hospital.
*A lot of Bruno's friends and associates are pitching in at the dojo here to keep the classes going.
*There are numerous poster boards in the dojo with get-well wishes from the children and families. We miss him and hope he will get well soon.

Hi, everyone.
I´m Bruno´s cousin and I´d like to thank you all for your prayers.
I just talked with him the phone and he is doing better each day.
The doctors are evaluating the possibility of having him operated tomorrow or early next week. They need to rebuild his brow bone and prepare the supporting structure of his left eye so that it can be normally opened.
Please keep praying for his full recovery, ok?
God bless you all,
Camila
