Please lift up my young cousin in prayer. Jenae (pronounced Jen A) was in a ski accident in Colorado 1 week ago. She sustained serious injuries, including multiple facial fractures, a skull fracture, broken femur and tibia. She seemed "ok" on Monday after the accident, talking and whining about not having access to her cell phone, but has gotten worse as the week went on. She is now in sedation to keep her in a deep sleep as well as on a ventilator. After a long weekend of 100% oxygen but continued low oxygen saturation levels, her lungs seem to be healing, as more and more oxygen is getting into her bloodstream. She was supposed to have surgery on her leg, but they cancelled it because of the oxygen issue. Also we are very thankful that she had those facial fractures. Yeah, I know, thankful? It seemed that those fractures allowed some fluids to seep out of her brain that would have otherwise built up too much pressure (like Natalie Richardson), thereby saving her life! It doesn't seem that she has sustained any severe brain damage, but until they can bring her completely off the deep sedation medication, we won't know for sure.
So please pray (or think good thoughts) for Jenae, her mom Nancy (my cousin) and dad Kelly, and brother Nolan, who is stuck back home in Oklahoma trying to continue a normal life.
Thanks!
