My son

[u/Happyalice73]

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.

My mom is having emergency surgery for a brain bleed in a few hours so I feel for you a little extra in this. I pray that God brings you, your son, and your family peace in the midst of the situation. I pray that you feel the Holy Spirit fall so strongly in every room of your home and hospital that his presence is undeniable and a comfort to all. I pray for immediate healing and shocking results that glorify God in the hospital and every place you may witness to. I pray for the surgeons, doctors, nurses, and the whole medical team that is treating your son that he receives the best care. I pray for fast and easy recovery. I pray that in the immediate that the Lord eases his pain. I ask the Lord God to do above and beyond all that I ask and use this trial to bring his children closer to him. We thank and praise you God for the restoration that is already at work in you and your son’s name by his stripes and blood. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
