"...Tragically, this is not a 'he will be back next week' situation. This is a long haul and a long recovery for Dennis. And that is why I humbly ask you for your prayers ... And although the situation is quite somber, [your prayers] do seem to be working. Since Tuesday, every single day, we have seen modest improvements. Modest, but nevertheless, improvements." -"Dennis and Julie" cohost Julie Hartman

[PJMedia.com] As you're probably aware, author, radio host, and conservative icon Dennis Prager suffered a back injury in a fall last week. When we hear "back injury," we tend to think that someone might be stuck in bed or on the couch with a heating pad for a few days. Sadly, that's not the case with Prager's injury.

Update, 11/18: PragerU released this update on X on Monday afternoon:

Dear Friends, Here is the latest on Dennis. Progress has been slow, but steady. There's still a lot of swelling and inflammation around his neck and upper spine. Until that recedes, it's hard to get a good sense of where this is all headed. But, rest assured, the overall trend is positive. Patience is required. But, as we all know, having patience is hard. His body needs time to heal. Let's give it to him. -The PragerU Team

On Sunday afternoon, Prager's "Dennis and Julie" cohost Julie Hartman gave a brief update on his condition as the intro to a show featuring important clips from the show. Hartman's update was short on details but long on faith.

"As many of you probably know by now, on Tuesday, Dennis suffered a terrible fall and he was immediately hospitalized," Hartman began. "He entered surgery, and now we are praying for the best possible outcome."

Hartman was aware of Prager's listeners' desire for more specific information, but she didn't offer much in the way of details.

"I know that so many of you just want information about Dennis' condition, and I promise you that we will be more forthcoming in the coming days with that information as we learn it," she admitted. "But we don't know very much right now."

Hartman continued:

What I will say though, is that tragically, this is not a "he will be back next week" situation. This is a long haul and a long recovery for Dennis. And that is why I humbly ask you for your prayers... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
