Pedro Martínez: Not sure about the other peeps involved.. although, from the sound of it.. I don't think any of them were injured.. I could be wrong.. will have to ask.

He has been rubbing my daughters arm and even playfully patted her thigh .. he opened his eyes up a bit yesterday. So my daughter believes he is awake.. I told her.. it sounded as though his face and especially his eyes were too swollen to really open before.. she is really sounding much better this week. This is where I wish I didn't have to live so far away.. she is much more positive..

They still haven't done surgery on his face.. he is running a fever.. the nurse told her. They won't do the surgery till he goes two days in a row without fever or infection..

I think things are going to be A okay for them.. I believe this was to make the couple stronger in their relationship.. Thanks for those prayers.. and I will let you know if anyone else was hurt..

ScarletRose: John has an infection on his forehead.. so they postphoned the surgery..

My daughter is getting stronger day by day.. she is more positive which is great.. she needs to be strong to get through these months ahead.. Oh.. she mentioned that he still has his teeth.. and they still look really great.. She had worn braces and so she notices that stuff.. imagine that.. his teeth lasted through it.. LOL

Thanks for the prayers and keep them coming.. not sure when they will reschedule..

He had a tracheotomy today to prepare for the surgery he will be undergoing tomorrow. He broke multiple bones in his face and they will be reconstructing it tomorrow.. So we need some prayers to help him through surgery tomorrow..

The doctor also mentioned to my daughter that they don't feel John will have any major brain trauma.. which to me says he should recognize her when he wakes up fully..

She was a bit more positive also since he was squeezing her hand most of yesterday when she was by his bedside..

So your prayers are helping.. but, we need more.. Thankyou!

mybirthdaysoon: Hey you.. don't you ever think your troubles or your condition is anything to shake off.. although, I hope your doing way better now.. but, you are just as important..

Thanks for all the prayers.. I will keep you all updated..

was in a motorcycle accident on Dec. 30th, 2006..

He went through a red light hitting two paralell cars.. he rushed past the grill and bumper on the first car and was flung into the second to where he was thrown into the air.. he is being sedated so they can monitor him yet let his body heal.

His right upper lung collasped although they have tended to his lung.. he had 4 fairly good lacerations on his leg and he lacerated his liver. His arm had several fractures. He also broke his femar, pelvis, skull, and several areas of his face. They also were draining fluid from his skull.. and he did something to the collateral artery.

I ask for prayers for his strength in healing.. and getting through everything he will have to face in the future.. as well as prayers for my daughter Bree. She has been facing all this on her own.. her father who she lives close to doesn't know how to be a father.. she has been suffering from panic attacks and I can't even imagine the inner pain she is having to go through. Nor can I get down to her at this time to help her. For anyone who has had to go through something like this.. please feel free to offer suggestions privately.. I can always pass them along to her.

She learned today what they will have to do to his face to repair the fractures.. she said you really can't even recognize him. Any way.. I ask for prayers for her strength as well.. and to help her use her energies in a positive helpful way.

xmas is soon: (((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Huggz )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Glad to see you doing better.. :)

Thanks everyone.. I haven't had a year of bad news since 1980.. and it just seems this year has been extremely testing..

everytime my phone rings I get sweaty palms..

Foxy.. thanks for the link.. I have another Friend, Helen.. who also has one of those.. the other night we all met at my brothers cafe after learning about Carol and when we mentioned how Trudy had died Helen told us about hers.. said if it comes out she has to get to the Hospital..

prettymama: I will say a prayer tonight for your family during this difficult time. I am sorry to read such sad news and hope your family can become strong again soon..

*huggs*

My mom and I both have lost 2 very dear friends of ours this past week..

Trudy died on Saturday night after her Cather ?? came out.. A tube into her heart.. (I am still confused on what the proper name of the procedure was).

Carol died of a heart attack earlier this week.

These are both sudden losses and have really shaken up our small towns.

We also had a family of 5 get hit with a car in front of the Court House yesterday evening.. we knew this family very well.. the baby and mother escaped without injury, the father ended up with scrapes and bruises.. the 2 year old ended up completely under the car and managed to just have bruises and scrapes as well.. but, the 4 year old has a broken pelvis and a broken femur. She is going to be in the hospital for quite some time. They are still uncertain about her growth plate. She will also be moved to a larger city hospital such as Childrens in Denver, or maybe one in Utah.

This family needs your prayers due to the long distance which can't be avoided. The family is not that financially set to get a home in the new area.. so let's pray for temporary housing to which the mother and other children can reside during the time her 4 year old daughter is being medically treated.

Thankyou..
