Prayers for Austin. He is 8.

[Murph]

Austin is a little guy who goes to our church. He is all boy and into everything. He and his parents and grandparents sit behind us in church. He is in my daughter's SS class and his parents are in the class my son in law teaches. His grandmother is in the SS class I teach. It is a small church so we are all pretty close...

Anyway, first good snow we have had in some time. Austin and the neighborhood kids were out with their sleds and having a blast. Older kid with a 4 wheeler started pulling them around on their sleds and such with his ATV.

Ausitn had a tube...and while being pulled somehow swung out and hit the conner of a house.

Broken arm, dislocated shoulder, broken ribs, punctured and bruised lungs, ruptured spleen, and very bad gash.

All this in bad weather...so no life flights till the icing cleared up. He was treated at the local hospital...spleen removed...accident happened about 10:00am and about 7:00pm last night Austin was airlifted to Duke.

Please pray for Austin, his family, medical personal...Austin is a fiestly little guy. Pat, his grandmother, said he is a fighter and she knows he will be OK. I know he is his grandparent's heart, like my grandchildren are my heart.

Also, the young man pulling the children on the ATV. Please pray for him...he is having a great deal of difficulty dealing with all of it.

Thanks everyone...for your prayers.

Dear Heavenly Father, please give everyone the strength, skill and wisdom needed to care for Austin. Please comfort the poor young man who was driving the ATV at the time of the accident. Wrap Your arms around him and give him Your peace. Give Austin all the strength and healing that he needs. Hold Austin's family and the other children in Your hands to lift their spirits and give them peace.

In Jesus' name, amen.
