Little help now.

The Dood · 02-14-2006, 05:49 PM

Now I dont usually ask much of you guys. Just to be cool with ya and get a chance to hang out. But I need some help.

Last night 5 of my buddies from high school got into a very serious car accident. One of them, Luke, is on life support and hasnt had brain activity in the last 12 hours. The driver, Travis, has a broken neck and broken back. Another has a broken back and 2 cracked vertebrae in his back, and yet another has a broken collarbone. Only one guy wasnt injured, and he was the only one wearing his seat belt.

I need somebody to help out and pray for them. Luke has only a 5% chance of surviving and barring a miracle, will pass within 12 hours. So please help and say a prayer for them.

My God buddy.

I'm so sorry to hear this, I really am. I swear everyone knows someone who gets hurt in a car accident around our age.

You're in my prayers, as are Luke and the other brothers in the car. The Lord is with you and your friends and their families.

Much love and prayers
GF

Salve Regina

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy!
Hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To Thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To Thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate
Thine eyes of mercy towards us
and after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of Thy womb, Jesus
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!

Thanks yall. I just got an update. Luke is doing substantially better. The doctors relieved the swelling on his brain and his blood pressure went up. His eyes also started twitching meaning that there is nerve impulses being sent and recieved and he is not brain dead. He was also taken off life support and is breathing on his own.

*Godfather* · 02-14-2006, 06:40 PM

Amazing new my friend.

I'm praying for them right now.

Are your friends with broken backs going to be able to walk?

The Dood · 02-14-2006, 07:24 PM

The driver, Travis, is being released tomorrow. The other guy will not be paralyzed but its still gonna take a long time to recover.
