Saturday morning my daughter Caitlin was thrown from her horse. She landed badly on hard ground breaking her right thumb and her left shoulder. The top of the humerus is broken off and twisted behind.
The surgery is scheduled for noon central time. It is expected to be a day surgery.
With God's help, she and all of us will get through this quickly. She is in good spirits. She is a tough barrel racer, but she is only 13.
God Bless you all for your prayers.
Never underestimate the healing powers of a 13 year-old.
Goodness! Hoping and praying for a complete recovery.
Prayers for a quick recovery.
Prayers
The cool thing about this is that the Holy Spirit is always making intercession for us according to Romans 8:26.
May God hold her in the palm of his hand! I wish her a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
Prayers for Caitlin

Prayers up. God Bless.
Praying for your daughter, her medical care providers, and for you.
I know how you are feeling as It happened to my daughter when she was 15. A horse reared and flipped backward with my daughter in the seat. Dr’s said her pelvis looked like she went thru a car window at 60 miles and hour. The operation was 7 hours. she was fitted with a metal (internal) brace that the adjustment screws stuck out of her front and rear. One full year in recovery. Next , when she was 29 and training for the olympics in she was thrown into a post and after being Air transported to Philly had to get “jump started” on the copter. She spent eight months in rehab.
Today she is 32 and still trains for the olympics. However, she is in her final year of medical school and wants to be her own MD.
Once into horses, always into horses.!
Prayers are sent, and I hope you update us all later.
Father, you are a God of restoration. I lift Caitlin to You and marvel at the daughter You have fearfully and wonderfully made. I thank You for the destiny you have spoken over her life, and I thank You that You are faithful to complete what you have begun in her. Lord, use this for Your glory and instill in her a healing so complete that even the doctors will see Your light inside of her. Your will be loosed on earth as it is in heaven, and praise be to Your mighty name and Your Christ. Amen.
Prayers up for your Champ!
At 13, they heal like magic. Prayers up! and keep the faith.
Don't worry Dad, God's got your back.
