My mother, Joan, was on her way to work as a substitue teacher Thursday morning when her car slid on the icy roads. As far as we can tell, the car spun off the road into a ditch and slammed, driver's side door, into a tree. By the time my dad found her about 20 minutes later on his way to work, there were many emergency vehicles around and they were cutting her out of the car from the passenger side as the tree was completely in the drivers seat. She was rushed to the hospital with sever head injuries and many broken bones. After cat scans and evaluations, we know that she has a fractured scull, pelvis, back, neck, and many facial fractures. She has cuts all over her body the worst being on her face and head. They still do not know the extent of her head/brain injuries, but she has been showing signs of improvement and we are hopeful. We are in constant prayer and trust and believe Him for complete healing. I have been awed at all the love and support that has arisen from family, friends and people I do not even know. I am so grateful to you all for your prays, they mean so much to our family right now. Many people ask me how they can help and ask me to let them know what they can do. I would ask every single person who reads this to PLEASE PRAY. Your prayers are by far the most important part of my mom's recovery, and I believe that with every prayer the enemy's schemes are defeated and the Lord will increase healing. Other concerns are minor right now. My parents do have insurance that will cover most of the medical expenses, thank the Lord. However, my parents have just lost a vehicle and both of their incomes. My dad has stopped working to be at mom's bedside full time, which is definitely best at this time. And of course my mom will not go back to teaching for some time if ever. They have not asked for anything, and do not know what I am setting up for them. But I know they would be greatly blessed by anything you can give them. Please give anything you feel the Lord leads you to give, especially your prayers :)
