    Hi all,

    Many of you do not know me, but I've seen in the past the wonders and good things that prayer requests and good thoughts on the WERA BBS have done. My mom was in a serious car accident early Sunday morning in South Africa. She is currently in the Trauma ICU unit in a hospital in Pretoria. I will be leaving on Saturday morning and will arrive there on Sunday. I was already scheduled to go there this weekend for two weeks to spend the holidays with her in Cape Town, but instead I will now be by her bedside in the hospital.

    Right now she needs all the prayers she can get.

    We're not sure of all the details of the accident as her's was the only car involved. Her car is totalled, from what I hear it flipped end over end for about 80 meters. She has no external injuries, all internal from the impact of the flipping car.

    Currently the injuries that we know of are two fractured vertebrae in her lower back, fractured skull, three broken ribs from her seatbelt, bruised heart, and blood on her left lung from the broken ribs. They have been keeping her sedated as to keep her still and not cause any more damage to her lung from the broken ribs. She is scheduled for surgery tomorrow afternoon to place a plate in her back as well as do bone transplants.

    I'll know more about her injuries when I speak to the doctors myself on Sunday when I arrive there. At this point I think everybody is sugarcoating everything for me until I actually get there.

    From what I understand, she is stable and was awake today, but is in A LOT of pain and a lot of discomfort.

    What I would like to do on Friday before I leave work is to print out all the prayers and well wishes for her to show her that even people that do not know her are praying for her and hoping that she'll have a speedy, full recovery.

    I thank you all in advance!
