On New Years Eve my cousin's 12 years old boy Ben was hit by a car while crossing the hi-way on his four wheeler. He did not have a helmet on. He was flown to the nearest children's hospital. They told us they had never seen a head injury that severe. They then flew him 3 hours away to University hospital. I drove his mother there that night. When we got to the hospital we were told Ben had less than a 30% chance of making it. They told us he had a broken scull, neck, shoulder, scapula, femur, hand and ankle. They drilled a hole into his head and placed a wire to monitor brain swelling.
Today we are 1 week out. God has answered so many prayers for us. Ben now is awake. He has stood up. He no longer has a broken neck, femur, hand or shoulder. He now is fighting brain swelling, broken ankle, fractured scull and scapula.
Ben has a long road ahead of him and I would be so very grateful for your prayers. He needs full neurological healing, grace and strength. He is a die hard hunter and fisherman. I know he will be back full force by next deer season!
Thanks, katie.
