I'm back!!!

My dear family and friends,

Guess who?? yup, it's me... I'm back from my 40 years (what felt like 40 years) in the desert. God has stirred my heart to start writing in my blogs again. This blog is one I wish I didn't have to post. A dear friend of mine is in need of our prayers. Her daughter was in a car accident the other night and she was pretty badly hurt. The text below is from the email I got from her.


Dear Everyone,

I need your prayers and those of anyone you know.

Two nights ago, my daughter, Arielle, was in a very serious car accident. The car rolled over and she was thrown from the car and into a split rail fence.

As of right now she's in critical condition at Denver General Hospital. She had emergency surgery on Tuesday night because she has an 11 inch laceration (about 4 inches deep) that runs from the base of her neck around to her back. She had a compound fracture of her clavicle, which they operated on today and put a plate and screws in. The break was a bad one and there was a lot of damage to the soft tissue around it and it was highly contaminated. She'll go back into surgery the day after tomorrow to clean it out and make sure there is no sign of infection. She broke her scapula and one rib. The most serious of her injuries is a severely broken pelvis. She goes into surgery tomorrow so that they can put in screws and plates. At this point all the doctors can tell me is that she could need two more or twenty more surgeries. She's looking at a year of recovery and rehabilitation.

Please pray for her. Right now she's intubated and heavily sedated. She is also on the verge of pneumonia and is running a slight temp.

Peace,
Elaine

Thank you for your prayers. Hope everyone is doing well. May God keep you all safe and well.

Your friend,
