Pray for my brother

My brother Matt was in a sever car accident early Friday morning. The accident happened some time around 3:15 AM about 5 miles from his home. Apparently he plowed into a semi which proceeded to tear the top of the cab off. After 1-3 hours (we don't know for sure how long it took) EMS was able to get him out of the truck and airlifted to the hospital. He has an open fracture on his left knee, bruised lungs, contusions on his liver and spleen, and a depressed skull on his left side. As of last night the doctors were slowly weaning him from the sedative and ventilators to get him to stabilize on his own. We are still in the 72 hour window for letting the brain heal from the massive trauma. After the 72 hours the doctors will work to see which motor skills were affected in the crash; movement, verbal, sight, etc. So if you're reading this, please pray for my brother. Like I said earlier, his name is Matt Kerr and he needs all the prayers that he can get. Thanks.
