Re: OT - Prayer Request - update



Thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts. They surely helped!!

My son's friend is doing much better -- as of the call rec'd last night.
They kept him in a "medically-induced coma" for a couple of days - until
they could get the extra blood drained from off his brain, then they slowly
let him regain consciousness. As of last night, he was awake and coherent.
(so no brain damage! Whew!) Don't know what they'll do for his broken back
(surgery of some kind). DS hopes to be able to get a phone number for him
tonight and give him a call to let him know we're all thinking of him (and
his fellow injured passengers).

My DS found out yesterday that one of his closest friends was involved in
an automobile accident on Friday and was seriously injured - This young
man had recently joined the U.S.Army and was stationed in Fort Hood,
Texas. He was travelling with four others on US190, and their car was cut
off by another vehicle which caused their car to flip over - and then
slide into the opposite lane, where it was hit by an 18-wheeler. One
young man was killed and the others seriously injured. My son's friend
sustained a broken back, both legs broken and a head injury. Needless to
say, my DS was devistated! He volunteered to the family to keep the local
circle of buddies informed, and I don't know how he kept his composure as
well as he did when he made the phone calls.What hurts, too, is that the
driver who cut them off sped away without stopping.

Would appreciate all the prayers and positive thoughts you can send. (I've
seen the healing powers of this group at work!)

Thanks so much.
