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."
No thanks dear onyx!! Just very pleased for answered prayers.
onyx me girl. I saw the news that things were looking promising before the “lights went out.” I’ve been in never never land four and a half days. Talk about withdrawal, you can’t imagine. It’s fantastic to finally get back to better news. Praise the Lord for what He has done. I am thrilled to know your precious grandson is doing well. God continue to heal him and his Dad. Hugs

Thank you so much from my heart for your prayers. I truly believe in the power of prayer.
Brady is a walking, talking miracle. He has actually been cleared to come visit me and his Grandpa with his Mom and little brother on the 18 of this month!
Praise God! Here he was at death’s door just one month ago and now this miracle.
Thank you forever.
Love, prayers and hugs always,

That is such great news! Praise God for healing Brady!
Praise God. Thank you, Jesus.
I know how you feel. I had a family member who was on the critical list twice this winter. They never thought she would make it, yet with prayer here she is almost back to normal. You never know:)
I’m an idiot...LOL.
I meant for all the thank you’s to go in FR mail. I should know better than to try to do this late at night.
I’ll never be able to thank you all enough individually.
I truly believe there’s no greater power than prayer. God saw to that.
Praise God!
We never know when our merciful Lord is ready to call any of us home, so we must live our lives the best we can as He wants us to live.
God bless and keep you and your precious family.

How wonderful! You have many moments to treasure coming up...
(You and I have very similar names, Patricia. Only I’m the guy)
Dear sweet Onyx! You don’t know how thrilled I am to hear about how well your grandson is doing. It truly is a miracle in my most humble opinion. The power of prayer from friends, family (and FReepers, of course)... must have helped. He’s coming to visit on the 18th?!! Okay, that is just fantastic for you! Enjoy your time with him (and dote on him like any good Grammy would do). Have fun and I will be thinking about you and your family all day on the 18th. Best wishes, Mom
PRAISE GOD!!!
Amazing!
My heart jumps with joy!
Wish I could be there to just give Brady a huge HUG!
I am SO glad to hear your grandson is doing so much better. When our granddaughter was 1 year old she was in intensive care for a week. Today, she’s a healthy 7 year old! And we get to see her and our grandson every day while spending the summer in Oregon. Prayers really help. May God bless all of you.
Thanks so much, again and again, dearest sweet Mom! Yes, a miracle, for sure. The ER or ICU nurse, later told my daughter she thought he was a goner..(stupid woman was way out of line). We truly believe in prayer’s power and truly believe our merciful Lord planned it that way. Pray to Him for all things and people and be grateful and thankful for the smallest of blessings.
God bless and keep you and your precious family. Thank you again and again.
Me
He’d LOVE that!
Thank you again, 1_Rain_Drop!!!
I’ll get some pics to post!
My dearest special Marine_Uncle, I so believe, too, but I also believe that our good and merciful Lord, made sure than no power ever exceed that of prayer and that the more voices He hears the better, be they in unison for one person or cause or individually.
God bless and keep you and your precious family. Like you, I try my best to be ready every day, in case it's my last day. I love our Lord and Savior with all my heart and ask His forgiveness more than once daily and thank Him more than once daily for His abundant blessings of which I consider my many cherished FRiendships here, "abundant blessings."
Thank you again, dearest Marine_Uncle. Joyous days await!!!
