PRAYERS NEEDED ***NEW UPDATE***
***NEW UPDATE!! 7:54 pm CST, 12/29/09***
Ghost's son out of the hospital!!
He's still having a bleed in his brain, and he's fighting an infection in his skull. His right knee and shoulder are in very bad shape. He's still having some cognitive trouble, but he's doing better. Right now, they're spending most of their days in various therapies.
Thank you all so much for your prayers. I truly think it made a difference!
***UPDATE! 12:51 AM CST, 12/12/09***
I just heard from Ghost. Her son is alive, off the ventilator and breathing on his own. They repaired the fractures to his face, but the skull fracture is still bad, running an hand-span along his left temple. They don't know the extent of the damage to his left eye. He still has bleeding in his brain, and he can talk a little, though most of it isn't making sense yet. From what I gather, he has some degree of awareness, and that is an excellent sign. He goes in for CT scans tomorrow (Sunday). When he was admitted, they gave him the lowest possible score for survival. As best as they can tell, his brain was without oxygen for at least 8 minutes, but the hypothermia slowed him down enough. Best case scenario, he is looking at several months of hospitalization.
He has beaten the odds, so please, continue to pray or send good vibes, or whatever it is your particular belief system does. He's been moved from ICU to Intensive Head Trauma Rehabilitation Unit.

I just got a mail from our dearest Christmas Ghost. Her middle son was in a car accident. His skull and chest were crushed and he's in a coma. They're trying to stabilize him enough for surgery to reduce the swelling around his brain. The prognosis is not good. Please, give a prayer for this young man, and for his family.

I attend study classes where we devote our study to the recovery of people sick and injured--I will include him in these group prayers. We'ere going to the Cave of Machpelah (Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hevron) in a few days and I will surely offer prayer asking for complete healing.

I'm Ghostie's husband's business neighbor, tell them both our family's prayers are with them.
If they need anything handled up here, give them my email or tell them to call me as soon as they need something.

That's terrible news. They will all be in my prayers, let us hope for the best.

Please tell CG my heart and prayers are with them all. If she wants to talk, she has my email address, and I'll send her my phone number.

Any word?

Nothing yet, Kate. Desperately hoping that no news is good news. Soon as I hear something, I'll post it.

God bless-- hope for the best

No more update on the young man? This has got to be a really tough time for CG. I just hate they are having to go through all this. I'll continue praying!

Still nothing since that Saturday when she told me he was breathing on his own. My computer just crashed hard-core, so I was without the means to post stuff on this site, or check my mail. Luckily, I have more than one computer, and I'm in the process of rebuilding my bookmarks and passwords and such. More details at my JBYP site. The minute I hear something from Ghost, I'll have it up here and a JBYP. Til then, we pray.
