I've now received two urgent FR mails from my good FRiend, petitfour this morning which read, in part:
"We are in ER waiting to hear from doctors. Our 13 year old son was hit by a car on his way to school. He has: Broken leg and head trauma, and that is all we know. Please pray for him and the hospital personnel. Thanks!"
Followed by this update just a few minutes ago:
"We're still in the waiting room. Michael is in ICU in serious but stable condition. They were doing X-rays and other things. His face will require a lot of surgeries. I am as calm as can be and taking this one issue at a time. He is alive and has no brain swelling. We will go from there. He has his daddy’s genes which means he is a fighter."
Dearest, sweet petitfour was reluctant to ask for a prayer thread, given Jim's surgery and all, but praying for one another and our precious family members, is a huge part of Free Republic.
Please pray for petitfour's young son, Michael's complete healing and total recovery and for his loving and very concerned family.
Lord hear our prayers.
Please address your messages and prayers to petitfour, not me.
Thanks so much. May God bless and keep you all.
Prayers lifted for your precious son! Please keep us posted. My late mother was hit by a car years ago steeping out of her car on a road. Long recovery, but she made it through. She was a fighter too. Keep the faith and stay strong.
Praying
Including my prayers here for your son Michael & your family, may God preserve Michael’s health and heal all his infirmities...
A parents nightmare. Prayers up.
Praying for Michael’s recovery, his family and for America in Jesus’ name.
Thank you all for your prayers! Michael is in the hands of the Great Physician! We have a great team of physicians and nurses taking care of him. They have prayed with us and over our son. He remains in stable condition. He has multiple fractures to his face. There is little brain swelling if any. He has a broken femur, but we are more concerned with the facial injuries at the moment though that does not mean the leg break is not serious. His vital signs are good. This will be a long recovery process.
Please continue praying for Mikey and our family. Thank you all so much and thank God for having some angels on the scene when this happened!
Thank you for this thread, dear friend.
Prayers humbly offered for the swift and total recovery of your son, Michael. May God guide his
doctors’ hands to restore him to good health and wellness. May he indeed be able to come back
from these injuries stronger than ever, and may your family live a long and happy life together.
Heavenly Father, we offer these prayers in the Holy Name of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Praying in thanksgiving for Michael’s survival and also for his full recovery.
I join in earnest, urgent prayer for Michael and all your family!
Prayers on their way for Michael. Heavenly Father, our Healer, please blanket Michael in your cloak of armor and bring him healing, guide the medical staff that is taking care of him and bring comfort to his family in this troubling time. We ask this in Jesus’ precious name. Amen
Prayers for the young man’s health and healing.
Gods blessing and protection for this child and family in Jesus name we ask...amen...

Wow...thank you, Lord, for believing doctors and nurses!
Hallelujah.
What a terrible tragedy for Michael and your family to endure, but like you said and like we know and believe, “Michael is in the hands of the Great Physician!” Praise God!
We’re all continuing to pray for Michael and you, his very concerned and loving family.
Blessed is God, the Greatest Physician and He is guiding Michael’s great team of physicians and nurses caring for and praying for him.
I can’t ping the whole list on this phone, so I will post to you, dear friend. Mikey is scheduled for surgery on his broken femur this morning. They were going to wait on that, but have changed their minds for some reason. I have not seen the doctor and only know what the nurse has said. Michael is resting comfortably at the moment. Thanks for the continued prayers!
Thank you for the update, I will continue to pray for your family and your son.
Thank you Onyx for the update and ping.
