I posted this out there because I want as much exposure as I can get for them. I donated and set up the benefitfund website and my other neighor is administrator of it. This family has 3 other kids to take care of and if she does recover, I hope they have a house to come home to as Mom had just started working another job and has no leave time and was working at McDonalds too, now she is at her little girls bedside. The big sister made a mistake and all things came together to make a terrible tradgedy. Her sister will have to live with this is she survives or not, and to get their home taken from them over this, and if it contunues, their insurance will cap out leaving them all on medicade. No family can be prepared for this type of event. I know their are other familys suffering as bad as this, but after going to the hospital on accident night and seeing her non responsive/coded.. And 3 days later she is squinting at yes and no question from my wife, just breaks my heart, she sure didn't ask for this. The MRI show a 99.9 percent chance her cord was completely severed at the neck but the won't know until they go in, and they can't get her stable enough to do that yet.
She will have no quality at life but how can you ask her if she would like a new pony tale holder and have her squit once for yes and know that she is their but detached from the rest of her body, but yet alert enough you know that beatiful person is still there.
This is the post we left in her journal !
Dear Miss Margaret,
As we walked into your room tonight, it seems as if it was only a few weeks ago that you pulled up in our driveway on your little scooter with your mom calling out to you to get your shoes on. No problem, Miss Rhonda's shoes were laying beside her and she wasn't using them because she was reading a book. As you rode away and turned with that beautiful smile, one seems to forget how fragile our lives all are.
Tonight as Miss Rhonda stood up on that bench beside your bed and called out to you, your beautiful eyes immediately made contact. As Miss Rhonda promised to bring you new pony tale holders and a new silly headband, you squinted your eyes with approval and a yes. As your tears flowed when your brother and sister entered the room, one could only wonder what kind of emotions must be running through you, just like us.
We have never felt so helpless in our lives, unable to fix this, only to try to comfort you by rubbing your beautiful face. No human should have to endure what you are going through especially at age five, and neither should any parent.
To fix this, we must all look above and ask for help as our Lord is the only one that performs such a miracle.
Little Miss Margaret, we are all trying so hard to help. I hope that miracle happens soon. We will always be thinking of you.
Love,
Gary, Rhonda & Jordan
If someone has an extra couple bucks, I can think of know better way to spend it.
If you believe in prayer as we do, then that's great too..
Thank you fellow members, if this gets moved to a more exposed are of the forms, it would be a good thing to do..
