I want to ask all of you out there to please pray for my friends 4 year old granddughter. She was involved in a serios car crash yesterday and is in very critical condition. She has a broken femur, her back was broken in two places, and her skull and spinal cord were separated (internal decapitation). She has been given about a 1 % chance of survival. She had a shunt placed and a halo placed to try to prevent further damage, and if by God's grace shesurvives she will be a quadraplegic with severe brain damage for life. Her mother was transferred from neuro ICU today to a regular room, but is still heavily sedated and not fully aware of her baby's grim condition. Her identical twin sister only suffered some minor cuts and bruises. Details are still sketchy, but we know they were not buckled up and the mother was possibly under the influence. It is such a tragic situation, and i dont know what more to do than to pray and ask others to do so as well.

I will pray for God's will as well. It sounds like a tough road ahead for her if she should survive :-( I also pray for their mother, as it sounds like this could have been prevented :-(

love hugs and prayers
