I have never posted an article. I have only replied. Please forgive me if this is not in the right place.
I am requesting URGENT prayers for my 12 yo niece and 4 of her friends. They were in a head on collision this afternoon coming back from a function. Apparently she, my niece, has severe internal injuries, including severe head trauma. Also, she was burnt as both vehicles apparently caught on fire at impact. She has been transported to a hospital in Greenville, NC. The other little girls were taken to UNC Chapel Hill.
From what we have heard so far it will take a miracle for her to survive. I do not know the conditions of the other 4 girls. Please pray for them as well.
Thanks so much and God's Blessings to you all.

To: All - Update on Skye
I don't know if I am updating correctly by following my own thread so I hope that all who have lent their support, words of comfort, and prayers will see this.
Last night and throughout this morning was very rough for Skye. She is finally stable enough for the Dr's to do some more internal exploration of her internal damages. She had to have a large portion of the colon removed and they are leaving the area open to heal. Of course, the risk of infection is great and they will be waiting for a couple of months before they attemp any permanent repair. Until then, Skye will have a colostomy bag. Her spleen and liver *may* be able to heal themselves. I don't think that these two organs are as damaged as the colon.
The burns she sustained on her face and hands will heal as well and they see so need for a graft of any kind. They have found a new injury. She has crushed vertebrae ( 1 or 2, I am not sure ). These do not involve the spinal cord so there will be no paralysis.
Her broken ribs will heal on their own.
Hallelujah for NO MAJOR HEAD TRAUMA as was initially diagnosed! The swelling that I mentioned last night is from exterior facial damage and burns. It was initially thought to be cranial/cerebral involvement but we are so very thankful that it was not.
There is a small article posted in or around post # 214 concerning this accident. From this article I learned that there was a secondary accident as a result of traffic being backed up. Also, the article is in error is regards to the number of people taken to the hospital. Instead of two there were four. As for the conditions of the other girls, I have not heard although I am going to be calling shortly to see if I can get through to the Burn Center waiting room.
Again, Thank you SO SO very much for your prayers throughout the night and for your continued prayers, if you will ESPECIALLY for Skye's friends who were injured just as severely.

Thanks for the update.
Praise God for Skye's much improved prognosis. I'll keep her in my prayers during the next few tough months, and also for her friends.

Stay strong. She is in good hands.

Our God does indeed work miracles, just as much today as He did thousands of years ago...
Skye is a living testament to His goodness and mercy, and with His continued blessing, will survive this trial.

Thanks to all the FReepers who flagged me to this thread. It is good to hear the update, especially about the damage to Skye's head being less than originally thought (what a pretty name she has; may God help her always look UP).
To: Faith; PleaseNoMore
Will continue to keep Skye and her friends in my prayers.
Thank you for the update
To: PleaseNoMore
So happy when I saw the update you posted! It is a great relief to read that the head injuries were not what they first thought! Perhaps that is the result of the prayers being offered for Skye and her friends!
Thanks be to God that she is not as serious as she could be!
To: Faith
Thanks for the ping, Faith. I am calling upon the LORD to do what only He can do.
To: PleaseNoMore
Just logging in but will definitely be praying.
To: PleaseNoMore
My prayers go up for your neice, her four friends, and their families.
May God be with them.
