Joshua Adam Dover, First Thoughts at the Hospital
In this interview Joshua shares what his first thoughts were when he woke up in the hospital after a major motorcycle accident. For the first 7 days he thought he was captured, and a prisoner of, Al Qaeda. He was trying every tactic he had learned in the Marines to find a way to escape. This delusional thinking was as a result of the side effects of the pain killer they had given him. He had no pain but was having delusional thinking. We as a family were thinking this was evidence of him having a brain injury. We were obviously many times praying without knowing what was going on, but God still answered our prayers.Spiritual Resources
