Damn. Email from my dad re: his wife's granddaughter, hit by a car. |
|
The child's name is Hialeah. She's 14, a freshman at Marina High School in Huntington Beach, CA. Yesterday she was jaywalking on the way to school and was hit by a car.
My dad, Dennis, writes, "She has multiple skull fractures and is in a coma. Yesterday was a series of bad and good news. She almost died but God placed a neurosurgeon there who was able to relieve pressure which spared her life. If she survives, she may be handicapped in some way. "If any of you are on speaking terms with God, please pray for a complete recovery."
My dad & his wife are evangelical Christians, as it's plain to see, but we all hurt the same, fundy or atheist. It's worse for his wife, who has always suffered from depression but lately it's been very bad for her. Good thoughts for Dennis & Nancy, and of course for Hialeah, are appreciated.

I am SO, SO sorry.

Got a long email from my stepmother this morning, describing exactly what happened, the girl's surgery/treatment so far, etc. She is still in coma.
No really good news, but no new bad news, either.
Keep up the thoughts & prayers for Hialeah, my friends. Thanks so much.

14. Bertha, I didn't see this yesterday .. |

I will certainly keep her and your family in my thoughts as the days pass. It's SO hard to see so many young people being hurt and hurting these days. Dennis, Nancy and especially Hialeah, have a lot of good people here praying, thinking and sending good thoughts for them to whomever (whoever whatever deity, or higher power) they look to. May your Dad also have strength to look after his wife in the days to come.
sincerely
AuntAgonist.
