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 theyre 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 theyre 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 doesnt dissipate, theyll 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."
Prayers, prayers and more prayers for the grandson and his Dad. May the Lord heal their injuries and give guidance to their doctors.
Prayers Up!!
Prayers for Brady’s healing and his family’s strength and comfort.
Praying for Brady and dad and all families involved. Onyx is one of a kind special.
Prayers for Brady and his Dad,Fatima ((((Hugs))))
Prayers.
How Awful!
Prayers to all your blessed Family Onyx, from all of mine!
G-D Bless You
Prayers up! Please tell Onyx that in 1990 at the age of sixteen our son had what sounds like a carbon copy of injuries. We were devastated and scared we would lose him during the first several weeks after the accident, the first several days were bleak. After a six week stay and rehab in the hospital and months of healing, he recovered fully. He completed HS and graduated from college. He is now a 39 year old investment broker, married with three children. Hang in there Onyx!
Oh, how awful. Prayers for Onyx and her family. Praying for a complete recovery and tranport back home just as soon as possible.
Oh my God! Yes, of course prayers!
Onyx and her family have my prayers.
Praying for a full recovery for Brady and his father.
Prayers for a swift and speedy recovery for both.
I second your sentiments, STARWISE and thank you for letting us know.
Dear, onyx....my prayers are offered for Brady and his dad. May God watch over them. Please take care of yourself, too and update us when you can.
