Please pray for my Johnny

[Valgal]

My 16 year old was hit by a car in the school parking lot yesterday morning. His injury is severe but not life-threatening. He fractured his upper femur near the hip in two. I am thanking God that his spine, head and internal organs were not damaged. I don't even how how they're aren't considering he ended up UNDERNEATH the truck. After he was stable he went into surgery and now has a rod embedded from his hip bones down to right above his knee. He was taken by ambulance to a level 1 hospital that would be able to treat him immediately. It was the longest hour of my life trying to get there. I did not deal with it well, I have to say. I didn't know what the injuries were until I got there, so I was hysterical. I have never been so terrified in my entire life!!!!

The surgery went perfectly and now it is about managing pain and getting him to keep some food down and on his feet. Once they are sure he can move around on his own and eat he will be discharged, so hopefully tomorrow. He is being so brave.

[shawnbear]

Oh goodness. That is frightening! I am glad his injuries were not more severe & I pray he will be on the mend quickly. You all are in my prayers.

[Valgal]

OMG, I've talked with some friends and the rumors going around school are CRAZY! One is that he was run over by all four tires. Also that the driver was messing around and being stupid The district superintendent just called for an update so I hope those rumors clear up soon. It truly was an accident.

He is being so brave. I can't wait to get him home and set up here. I believe this is going to be a long road.

Wanna know the stupid thing? I've actually wondered if/how I should scrapbook this. LMAO! Only a scrapbooker's brain would go in that direction.

[ellasspace]

Oh no prayers for you all how very scary!!

[BrattyMeg]

[adi&co.]
