Karen needs all the help she can get.
She was in a wreck the other day and is currently fighting for her life. She has a cracked skull, smashed eye socket, they removed her spleen, broken pelvis, along with other things. She is going to be in a drug induced coma for the next several days and we won't know much until then. I'll keep you all posted.
Now I'm the first to admit I'm not the most religous person around, but I'm very spiritual and always find myself praying. And for many of you here.
So please, whatever religon, whatever faith, please throw a line or two up to whoever you pray to that she will continue her fight, and that her family's pain might be eased.

Todd, that is a pretty li'l gal ya got there... and man, sounds like she hit a really rough spot here... :(
I'd be surprised, if a lot of us here are not very religious...but spiritual. I found a church that presented the view that "it's not about rules and regulations--that is religion..it's all about having a relationship with Jesus Christ...to know Him and make Him known."
That works for me.
So, Todd, prayers for God's wonderful loving arms to cradle Karen...and the Holy Spirit to descend on her during this coma...give her peace, guide her and the doctors and protect her that she might be restored to full health and blow the doc's minds...so that she might fully testify to why she's all better... That it is by His Grace and love.
Lord, in your mercy..hear our prayers.
Keep the Son in your eyes, Todd.

Praying that the Lord would not only comfort and care for Karen but that He would help you to understand who He is in the Person of Jesus Christ and the love that He has for you... John
C'MON, KAREN! PRAYERS FOR STRENGTH AND PEACE.
Amen & God's grace and mercy
Prayers sent for Karen. God we place her in your loving and tender hands. Praying also for you Todd, that God would give you peace, comfort and strength.
I'll keep her lifted up , you let us know how she is doing.
Thank you all so much.
She is in stable condition, but they still haven't taken her out of the coma. She is responsive to pain, which they say is a really good thing. Her head injurys are severe.
Thanks again. I will continue to let you folks know how she is doing.
God bless you all,
Todd
We will keep praying for her Todd and you to my friend.
Thank you for the update.
Tracy
Prayers Continue
God Bless
Thanks for the update, Todd.
This has to be hard on everyone, but it truly is a time to lay it at the foot of the cross.
We've seen some amazing things God's done through prayer here alone...
We'll continue to lift up Karen, her medical team and ask for peace and trust for all of you standing watch and waiting.
keep the Son in your eyes!
she is in my prayers and i will send smoke this weekend, i ask for guidance and comfort for her, please let us know if there is ANYTHING at all we can do.
They took Karen out of the coma yesterday but she is still unresponsive to people interactions, but she is responsive to a few reflex tests and is responsive to pain. She is still heavily medicated of course.
Still too early to determine her mental state, but the Doctors say they've seen people in a lot worse condition make a full recovery. On the flip side to that coin, and doctors being doctors and not wanting to blow a lot of smoke, they say they've seen people that were in better condition that haven't recovered and probably never will. I know Karen well enough being a burden to other people and not being self sufficient would be the worst thing she could go through. I pray that God, whatever his will may be, that he does what's best for Karen. My Dad always say's, "He doesn't give you anything you can't handle."
Just to clarify a little about Karen and I. We were in a serious relationship for 9 months but it seemed our lifes trails were heading in seperate dirictions. The decision was made that while we probably weren't compatible as far as a merriage is concerned, we were still the best of friends. She is an awesome person and I still love her oootles and gobbles, and I will be there for her during this bump in the road as I know she would appreciate it, and I know she would be there for me. No questions asked. It's times like these you find out who your friend are. I can't tell you all how much your prayers and concerns mean to me and Karens family, and Karen herself. You are all true friends!
Once again, thank you all so much.
God bless.
Todd
Prayers continue Todd. You might think about reading these and any other prayers from people to her. She may not be physically awake but her spirit will hear and I'm sure it will comfort her.
Wow, Todd.... (there just aren't any "emoticons" to show what your words did to me reading them)
...just .."Wow!"
Awesome testimony of true Christian love right there...
Prayers continue for God's will to be acted out in His time, and that the Holy Spirit fill you, Karen's family and other friends and the medical teams that all might know true peace in His presence during this terrible time of waiting.
Keep the Son in your eyes!
God Bless...in prayers and thoughts...
Tod my man. My wife, my son, my little girl and myself will always keep you and Karen in our prayers. God is here and God is watching. We here on Tradgang just have to give "Him"a nudge to give Karen a little bit more to heal.
Well the stubborn girl finally decided to come around. THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!!!
It took a few days past a month, but she knows her name, age, parents and friends. I even got to talk to her on the phone.
The phrase "what a miracle" has a whole new meaning to me and will not be used lightly from here on out.
Thank you all so much.
She still has a long road to hoe, but she is sure tough enough. She needs major reconstructive surgery to her scull, hip and leg. Most of her ribs are broken along with most all of her other bones.
Please keep her in your prayers, and I can't thank you enough.
Todd
Todd, that's fantastic news, we'll continue the prayers...
Looking forward to meeting you when you come to Kansas...
take care
Kevin
Prayers that God's loving presence is revealed through this and that His healing love is glorified.
You are a good friend, Todd!
And our God is a great God! Thank you, Lord for Karen's healing, we ask your continued Mercy that she might amaze all her doctors and become a beacon of light for your Love and Mercy as she tells all how her Lord healed her from her terrible wounds. Amen.
Todd, Keep the Son in your eyes!
Doc,
You always seem to talk in the same voice as the spirit in my heart....
Todd - we continue to lift Karen and her family and friends up and believe fully that the Lord will restore her in miraculous ways.
Your freindship is a powerful testimony. May the Father continue to pour out his blessings on your life and the lives of Karen and her family
Praise God for his healing hands!!!
Great news!
Amen!!
Praise God!
I just now read all the posts and I too will keep Karen in my prayers, I now there is much power (love) in them. I'm just down the road from you Gods speed in her recovery.
