Prayers for son

[Guest guest]

Hi friends

Please keep my 16 year old son in your prayers. He is a pro skater

and got hit full force in the face with his board last night while

doing a stunt on film. It was a freak accident, but he suffered a

major skull/facial bones fracture than runs from his lip to his eye.

He sustained a massive laceration to his lip that took many stitches

and he is still facing the possibility of surgery to repair the

damage caused by the shattered bones in his cheek. He is doing okay

considering.. his eye is not damaged although there are bone

fragments in the muscle below it. He didn't break any teeth which is

miraculous considering the cut in his mouth. His sinuse are still

full of blood, but the docs say that will absorb.

He did suffer a concussion, but seems to be recovering from it slowly.

This accident could have easily taken his eye, so we are feeling

blessed in spite of the chance he could have to have extensive

surgery before it is over.

But, even if he avoids surgery and heals on his own, he is facing a

long recovery. He was going on tour this summer and it will be, of

course, cancelled. He is devastated mostly by that.. being 16. I am

just grateful he is alive and well.

Any prayers you feel like sending up would be much appreciated for as

speedy a recovery as possible.

(Needless to say, this little event has taken the last of the wind

out of mama's sails. I have another one graduating suma cum laude

this weekend and now I am trying to stretch as thin as possible.)

I hope you are all doing well. I apologize for being such a phantom

friend, but I just got back from a little " vacation " at the Hospital

Hotel myself. Doing fine now, but it was iffy for a while.

I just LOVE this disease.

Hope the rest of you are faring better!

Love to everyone!
