I need prayers

[2manypets]

On Thursday the 13th of May my 21 year old daughter was in a bad car accident. She was coming home from Radiology school when her front tire left the roadway and when trying to correct herself, she spun out and hit a pole.

Ashley is now in a coma with Traumatic Brain Injury and a broken neck. According to her doctors, she has damage to the lower part of her brain. As of today they are still trying to get her stable. We understand she will have permanent damage, but until she wakes up we won't know the extent. The waiting to see her beautiful eyes open is pure torture. She make little improvements daily like moving her arms in response to stimuli or bending her knees slightly. This means that she won't be paralyzed. the doctors are putting in a Trach and a permanent feeding tube for the long haul. I'll take any baby step that she makes. Though small they are still a step forward and a miracle in my eyes.

Even though you don't know me or her, I'm asking for prayer for Ashley. She needs as much positive energy coming her way that she can get. Her and her fiance were planning on getting married in just 3 weeks and she was due to graduate college around the same time. Her life was beginning to be just what she wanted.

On Facebook, Georges family has started a group called "PRAYING FOR ASHLEY BLOUNT" He reads the posts to her daily in hopes that she will know everyone wants her back. Please feel free to add your wishes and prayers. Also please pray for George, her fiance. He has not left her side since the accident. He's a strong person and has so much love in him for her, but at this time he's not taking care of himself.



I won't be posting often in the next several days, weeks, months, but want to thank you all for your kindness and support.

Thank you so much for your prayers. Ashley is 21. She's strong willed young woman and we're hoping between the prayers and her strength and will power, she'll pull through soon. We are patiently waiting for her to return to us.

Ashley and family will be in my prayers.

Believe me, you have all the prayers my family and I can muster. As a mother I can only imagine what you are going through. And poor George so near to the start of their lives together having to see her go through this. You will be in our prayers this evening along with a friend of mine who today had a heart attack. He, thankfully, has had the blockage cleared and should be home in a few days. I wish the same was true for Ashley but I will pray that her stay in hospital is long enough to get her as strong as she can be, but short enough that you have her back at home as soon as possible.

Praying that all goes well. You'll find the strength to make it thru whatever comes your way. You'll have it because your daughter will need you to be strong. Don't give up hope.

DS suffered TBI when he was 17 and sophomore in college. Currently has something akin to locked-in syndrome. For months, drs didn't believe that he was 'in there' They were looking for movement. He understood what happened, understood requests that he move this or that body part, but he just cannot move anything other than eyes. -But he does laugh.
