For you praying folks out there. One of my students Abby , a 7th grade girl, and her friend Taylor were in a serious accident last night. They were riding a 4-wheeler when they came up a trail onto a road and were hit by a car. They were thrown from the 4-wheeler. Both were airlifted to a major hospital nearby. Abby suffered head trauma and several broken bones. They have her in ICU and are sedating her to keep the pressure in her brain from reaching dangerous levels. Both have some broken bones. Abby has a broken collarbone, ankle, and some skull fractures. Taylor has a broken pelvis and leg and I think something else, but I didn’t get to talk to her parents.
Please pray for these girls and their families and friends. When I went to the hospital late last night, 7 or 8 of Abby’s friends were there with their families. We filled the waiting room and hall. Taylor’s family recently moved here from California so in addition to this situation, they are far from friends and family, too. Several from our group talked to them and prayed with them, but I know they must have felt alone. We are so grateful that the girls are alive, and we are praying there will be no permanent damage from this accident. Thanks for joining us in your prayers!

Prayer is strength. My prayers today will include Abby and Taylor and also include a “thank you”, for teachers like you that care about their students.
It shall be done. My prayers will be added to yours.
Be assured of my prayers for these girls and their families. I believe in miracles – and God is the physician who can bring these girls back.
Prayers are flying! Those poor kids. We just had an ATV fatality in our area, but it was a man in his 50′s–not kids. Hear of lots of injuries, though. I know they are fun vehicles, but I just don’t like to see kids on them. Those poor parents. Keep us posted on their conditions.
Praying with you for Abby & Taylor!
