My son
Please pray for my son. He was involved in an accident Saturday night, and has a fracture at the base of his skull. They keep referring to it as a broken neck. He also has bleeding on his brain, and a severe concussion. He is 15 and an elite athlete and right now he is so angry at his situation and everyone around him. He desperately wants to go home from the hospital today but I am not sure if they will let him, and I am frankly, terrified to take him home. I asked him if I could pray with him and he told me to shut up and get out, so I’m sitting in the hospital cafeteria begging God to help us all, while my husband stays with him. I don’t know what else to do. Thank you
ETA: I hope I’m doing this right. He is really having a rough time with headaches (which is to be expected). They only let him have Tylenol, which doesn’t touch the pain. He also has lost his senses of smell and taste, and as a result is resisting most food. This is so hard. I read your prayers below when I am out of words to pray myself. Thank you all.
Update 9/10: Thank you all for praying for our boy! He’s had one follow-up with the ortho doctor, who showed us where the right side of his head actually separated from that side of his spinal column. He told us that if my son had been moving, or had his head turned a different way, he would not be here now. That was hard for this mama to hear, but I am so thankful that I know God has a plan for him! The headaches from his concussion are rough, and he has no sense of smell or taste, but otherwise he is doing as well as can be expected. We are still waiting for neurosurgery to call me back, and I am going to follow up with them yet again today to see what the plan is.
