Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2005OTP another Prayer Need
Jason Deal (about 19), the son of good family friends whose sister and my granddaughter are very good friends, was in a 4-wheeler accident yesterday afternoon which left him with a broken neck, and the three neck vertebrae crushed and shattered, with the bones throughout his neck tissue. The neurosurgeon here in Montgomery told his parents that there was absolutely nothing that could be done for him, no surgery or anything else. They had put in a breathing tube to help him breath. Allen and Lorrie asked if something could be done in Birmingham at the University of Alabama Hospital and he told them no, but they decided to take him there anyway. They left the hospital here about 2 or 3 this morning to drive over with the ambulance; they had not been able to airlift him here because of the fog so they had to use ambulance to get him here also. Lorrie's nephew was in an auto accident about a year or so ago that left him paralyzed from the waist down. I know all of the family would appreciate your prayers, and so would I.

I am so sorry Gwen. My t houghts and prayers are with you and the family. My prayers are for the best possible outcome.

I just can't imagine how the parents must feel as well as Jason and Lacey. Heartbreaking.

Jayne, my DIL just called from the edge of Birmingham to say they are on the way home with Annie and Lacey (Jason's sister). Jayne & Billy came home to get Annie during the night last night to go to Birmingham so Lacey would have someone with her, and she will be staying with them to start to school at her new school with Annie on Monday. Jason is in Trauma ICU on a respirator for ease in breathing. They are planning surgery one day this next week to see if there is a possibility of fusing the vertebrae in his neck. I am so glad they didn't listen to the doctor here who said nothing could be done. At least they can try! Lorrie's mother lives in Birmingham about 15 or 20 minutes from the hospital so when they cannot see Jason they have somewhere to go, though they plan to stay at the hospital tonight though they can't see him again after 11:00 until 10:00 tomorrow morning. I'll update as I get more information. Thanks for your prayers; God is still in the miracle working business. Gwen > Thanks Rose.

Gwen, I just saw this post now and will certainly pray for Jason and for a miracle if it's needed. Hopefully these doctors will be able to do what is necessary for him to get well. Ann God is indeed in the Miracle working Business... Praying That he works one for Jason. My prayers for his family also.

He was put on a respirator and in a halo when he got to the hospital in Birmingham. The report yesterday was that he could turn his head and had a slight shrug of his shoulders. I am still praying for a miracle. Lacey is doing well staying with Annie and going to her new school. She said it is hard to smile when people ask her about Jason. but I think she is doing extremely well not to be able to be there with the family. Please continue your prayers.

[quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > and ask, "Why do you want to know?" > > ====================================================== Jayne talked with Lorrie tonight about 6:00 pm. She and Allen had a good visit with Jason's surgeon today and they asked him if the spinal cord was severed. He said NO! He said it was bruised, not severed. That is most encouraging news. In the surgery tomorrow, they will go in the front and put a piece of bone from his hip and hope the bones will all grow together. They will also try to remove all the bone fragments which will make him much more comfortable. Then they will go in from the back to put in a rod. This will in no way help in the paralysis but will keep more damage from happening. I just keep thinking---what if they had listened to the doctor here and had nothing done! Please God, give us that miracle we're praying for. Gwen > Jason is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. He was put on a respirator and in > a halo when he got to the hospital in Birmingham.

Adelle Gwen, I have been following all that is going on with Jason and family. Still have prayers going. I am glad to see things went so well so far. Still praying for a total miracle.

They haven't done the feeding tube and trach yet. Seem to be waiting to see if he can breath on his own so the trach won't be needed. He is still paralyzed from the shoulders down but they sat him up a short time yesterday to watch TV and wash his hair. They may do these other things later this week. The doctor said it will take from 6 weeks to 6 months to tell just what his mobility will be ---or won't be. But I'm still praying for the miracle to be complete, and we're having regular prayer meetings at the church during the week. As one lady said, we don't want anybody with a negative thought to come. We are all positive there will be a very good outcome. It has already been a miracle that he is this far along.

I had thought about posting but didn't want to bore anybody. He's had a tough time, had pneumonia in both lungs, then had a urinary tract infection, but infections now gone and fever not staying high. He has felt pin pricks below an elbow in one arm. As of today, he and his mother are being taken to Atlanta, GA, the Sheperd Rehab Center, which is supposed to be the best in the country for spinal problems. The doctors from Sheperds came to Birningham last Thursday and spent the day with Jason and his family. They said he was a perfect candidate for their services. (web site is sheperd.org) He will be there from 6 to 8 weeks. We are still praying for a miracle of complete healing for him. He can move his shoulders; still has the trach and feeding tube in, but they are working on getting him completely off the respirator. He is a little hesitant about it--think he's afraid. Still have a special weekly prayer meeting for him at the church. Thanks for your prayers. Gwen > Gwen, > How is Jason doing?
