I was really looking forward to this weekend. My dad was coming to visit Friday and then I was going to watch the Michigan/Ohio State game with one of my best girlfriends who was coming Thursday night from Texas. We have not seen each other for over a year. It has been a long time. Her husband is in Iraq right now, so she has been a little lonely. Late last week she got word that one of her family members was in an accident. Her brother, bobby, is in a CCU in Ft. Worth, Texas after sustaining multiple injuries in a motorcycle accident. I do not know all the details of the accident, but suffice it to say, he is barely hanging on. He has had 3 surgeries already.........one of which is a below the knee amputation on the right. He lost his right eye, he cannot breathe without a ventilator. He has a chest tube, a feeding tube, and multiple drains from his belly due to bowel and liver lacerations.
I am asking that you all pray for my friend's brother. She is strong, but your prayers are needed.
I will pray as well. "Dear God, we do not have to go through this day alone; We do not have to work in our own strength. Today, I am asking if it is in your will to give health to bobby, give the doctors healing hands, and make my friend, Mary, an instrument of your strength. In your name, I ask for these things, Amen."
