Brett

Moms View Message Board: Prayer Requests: Brett
By Crystal915 on Tuesday, November 4, 2008 - 10:25 pm:

My ex's 18 year old cousin, Brett, was in a horrible accident over the weekend. He was in the back of a pickup with his buddies, being dumb and doing donuts (alcohol involved, unfortunately) and was thrown from the vehicle, then run over. He was medivac-ed to Wichita, and has injuries including a broken neck, crushed lungs, broken pelvis, and a broken ankle. At last update had made it through surgery to fuse his neck, and J said he looks better than he had been expecting, but this is especially hard on the family because Brett's mom died of cancer a year ago. Please keep Brett and their family in your thoughts and prayers...

OMGosh Crystal, I'm so sorry, that's just SO tragic! :(

Your family is definitely in my thoughts and prayers. It's just heartbreaking, how so many teens/young adults just don't think of what can happen when they are *having fun*.

I hope he will heal with no serious permanent damage...

:( :( :(

How sad! Everyone involved will be in my prayers!

prayers for everyone involved!

Please keep us posted Crys. He and his family are in my thoughts and prayers...

Well, I just texted J to ask how Brett was, and he said he is good, they were able to sit him in a chair yesterday. Continued thoughts and prayers are appreciated. When everyone was freaking out when it first happened, I kept trying to remind J it is a lot easier to heal at 18 than even 28, so hopefully his age factors in well for him.

Karen, I agree... when I first found out my response was "What a stupid thing to do, what's wrong with that boy?!" This is in part because the first time I had met him, he had messed his hand up while mudding in his new truck. (Thankfully, alcohol not involved that night.) I really hope he pulls through without permanent injury, and that this is a wake up call for all of the boys involved.

Prayers for Brett, how incredibly sad. Hopefully it will be a wake up call for all those involved. How tragic for the person who ran over him too. I can't imagine.

Prayers, Crystal. He's lucky--it could have been SO much worse. Let's hope he and the others learn from this.

By Bobbie~moderatr on Wednesday, November 5, 2008 - 08:24 pm:

Agreed, hopefully they learned something.
