Just wanted to let you know that you are never out of our thoughts and prayers.

Please hold Onxy's dear grandson, Brady, in your prayers.
From Onyx over the weekend:
"My 17 year old grandson, Brady is at Georgetown Hospital, Grand Cayman Island, in ICU with severe head injuries .. a distracted driver using a cell phone crashed into Brady and his Dad on their scooter.
Brady was thrown 20 yards. He laid there comatose for 45 minutes before the ambulance arrived from the hospital less than 1 mile away. (Nothing like free medicine).
He has severely bruised lungs and is getting oxygen, and has to be kept highly sedated because of brain swelling and a small blood clot. His Dad is in surgery for crushed knee caps and several other fractures.
DrO talked with his doctors and determined they’re completely competent, (Praise God) and said this is not life threatening.
No internal bleeding, but they have not yet checked for broken bones or fractures. As with all severe brain injuries, until they’re able to bring Brady to consciousness, the extent of the trauma and injury to his brain is an unknown.
If the pressure caused by the swelling doesn’t dissipate, they’ll have to go in. Just a small amount of bleeding, and the blood clot is small, as of 1:00AM
~~~~
Update this afternoon (after 6 hrs of surgery):
"The new CAT scan showed it all perfect.
The pressure reading is perfect and the swelling is zero. They stopping the sedation med already!
The doctor squeezed him and he showed a reaction!!!
Praise God. Praying that when Brady is taken out of his medically induced coma, that he will still be Brady - that is what I''m praying for."
Wonderful news! Brady, I’m so glad you’re on the mend and I will continue to pray for you.
Wonderful news!!!!!! My thoughts and prayers will continue for Brady and his family.
Luke 9:6
And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.
Thanks for the great news update...
Thanks be to God for this good news about Brady!
Thank you for updating us.
Continued thoughts and prayers from FR going out to you!
(((Hugs)))
You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples. --Psalm 77:14
What wonderful news that is!!! Praise God that Brady seems to be on the road to a full recovery! Keeping up the prayers for Brady, his Dad, Onyx, the whole family, and all the medical caregivers. :)
Prayers of gratitude for such a good report!
Thank You, Lord for hearing us and for acting on Brady and his dad’s behalf.
Please continue healing them, and may their healing be a testimony to Your great love and power.
Thanks for the update. So glad he is better
Praising our Lord!
Fantastic! Praise God for answering our prayers. Thank you Lord. Continued healing prayers for Brady and for all his family.
Just wanted to let you know that you are never out of our thoughts and prayers.
Praise God, all of your prayers, his American neurosurgeon, who, with God’s mercy, grace and guiding hands literally saved his life, Brady is at home!!!! (Just in time for tomorrow’s start of our 3rd Quarter’s FReepathon)!
Yes! At Home. He is a walking, talking miracle. My daughter has him at home along with his Dad in a wheelchair. Right now, it seems like Brady is only suffering short term memory loss, lack of patience and shortness of breath.
My daughter is a saint. She was put through he// by that incompetent hospital and nursing staff; from telling her Brady wasn’t going to make it, to permitting unwanted people into the ICU, so she stayed 24/7.
Dearest STARWISE, if you will be so kind to inform everyone. I can’t begin to thank you all for your prayers and FR mails to me, which I promise to answer.
May God always Bless and Keep You ALL!
Praise God indeed. Knew you were VERY busy, but tried to keep you in the loop....and say a prayer for you and yours each time you were pinged.
God is good....all the time
All the time....God is good.
Skype...wonderful.
One of dad’s favorite syings is “Technology is Wonderful...when it works” He’s changed it a bit now since Charlie has been born. Each time we deal with technology he says...”Think what it will be like when Charlie is my age!”
Onyx'x grandson Brady is home!
Thank you all for your prayers.
God Bless
