Prayers for Elizabeth...

I want to dedicate this post to my friend Elizabeth.

On Sunday, September 12 three best friends were involved in a car accident on I40 heading towards Conway. The wreck happened around 1:30 am. Two of the passengers were rushed to a local hospital where they were treated and released for minor injuries. Elizabeth, the third passenger was unconscious at the scene and med flighted to the hospital.


Elizabeth suffered from a bruised lung and was set up on a ventilator to help her breathe. She has been sedated since then from the intubation. She is recovering in Intensive Care. She has had several scans of her brain, all revealing no signs of brain swelling or bleeding. Until Elizabeth can be awake, the full extent of her brain injury (if any) cannot be known.

Elizabeth thankfully has not suffered any other injuries such as broken bones or internal bleeding. At this time doctors are awaiting her lung to heal so that sedation can be lowered and the intubation removed. At that time she can be better assessed.

 Elizabeth, you are such a strong beautiful person.  Hang in there.  We love you so very much!

Pray, Pray, Pray. Thank you.
