Real quick, I just want to update you all on Sam and Cory.
Cory's surgery on Tuesday went VERY smoothly, and it's looking like he will be able to use the two injured fingers later on, if there is no infection or other complications that often happen in cases like this.
Keep praying that everything will keep going smoothly, and that he the fingers will heal quickly so he can play football this season. He's been out for two years because of a torn ACL, and he can finally play again, if his fingers heal fast enough! :)
Sam is also doing better, as far as his leg goes.
It's healing well, and there has been no issues, infection or complications, praise the Lord! But Sam is very depressed right now, partially because of all the pain meds he's on, and also because he can't do anything on his own, or anything in general besides just sit there. He can get around on crutches a little bit, but it's really hard since he can't move his leg at all on his own, plus the cast/brace thing he is in is pretty heavy.
Please keep praying for him as well.
Thank you so much!!
God Bless,

Prayer Requests!
Hey friends,
I have two really urgent prayer requests I'd like you all to pray about.
The first one is for one of my friends brother. His name is Sam, and he's 11.
Sam was riding his ATV and lost control, the ATV went in a ditch, hit a rock, flipped, and landed on top of him. He was able to get it off, but meanwhile he got three puncture wounds in the back of his leg, (In surgery later that found out that one of the punctures was mere centimeters from paralyzing his leg for the rest of his life) and broke his femur. (The really strong bone in your thigh.) It wasn't a bad break, but when he tried to stand up and walk to get help, and the bone completely snapped and went through the back of his thigh.
He knew it was a really bad situation when he was able to stick his finger in one of the puncture wounds--that's how big it was. In desperation he tried crawling across the road to his neighbors house for help, just as a woman in a SUV came over the hill. She was able to see him and slam on the breaks before she hit him, but she was only a few feet from running him over. Thankfully, she was a strong lady, and she was able to load him into her car and move the ATV out of the road, and took him to his house.
Sam's older brother, Will, carried him inside and tried to stop the bleeding and keep him from going into shock while their mom got everything ready to go to the ER. Unfortunately they live about an hour away from the best children's hospital, so by the time they got him there he was in critical condition.
The doctors rushed him into immediate surgery, where they were able to get his leg and puncture wounds fixed, but later they almost had to rush him back into surgery after his mom saw signs of internal injuries on his stomach. (Tests for that came back negative).
Please, please be praying for him and his family. He was released from the hospital three days later, but he's still not doing very good, and his brother is having a hard time getting over holding his bloody brother for two hours, not knowing if he was going to survive.
The other request is for another one of my guy friends, Cory. (He's 16). I'll try to shorten this story!
Cory was at work cutting drywall with his boss, and the knife blade slipped and cut through 90% of the tendon in his pointer fingers and cut a blood vessel, along with cutting off the tip of his middle finger. His boss rushed him to the ER where they were able to sew the tip of his middle finger back on, but they don't know it it will live or not. His pointer finger still needs surgery, and they couldn't get a surgeon in until today. So please pray Cory will be comforted and that the surgery will go smoothly today, and his hand will be usable even though he now has two pretty much useless fingers.
Thank you so, so much my friends, I really appreciate it!
