Please pray for 4 year old Nicholas. My son and his wife just called from Pa and a friends son was hit by a car. He was hit on July 16th and had surgery today. He has a broken collarbone, broken femur, broken ribs and a bruised lung all on his left side. He also has stitches in his left arm and is on a respirator because of the bruised lung. He's been taken off pain medication to prevent a drug induced coma. He's also restrained. He has 2 rods in his leg holding his left femur together.
Thank you for the info.
this is the girlfriend again. thank you for clearing that information up. i would just like to thank everyone who has posted a reply on this page. i was just reading through them, i didn't have the chance yesterday, and i just wanted to let everyone know that i am so touched how much everyone is praying and responding to this that i am still wiping away tears. thank you so much. it will please nick to know that he is a celebrity around the world, probably literally with this site. once again, thank you. as of yesterday he is doing very well considering the circumstances. they did x-rays on his neck to see if they could remove his collar. he wants that thing off so bad. he is able to answer questions and let the nurses know when he has to use the bathroom. he had rods put in his broken femur. last i heard they still aren't sure about the rib fractures. once again, he is doing very well and thank you.
We're glad he's doing well and he'll remain in our prayers.
Joining in prayer for Nicholas and his family.
