Our son and several co-workers left Dallas for New York City early this morning. Several hours into the trip, a car spun out of control on the highway and struck the car Michael was in. Both cars were totaled, and Michael was injured. After a stay in the hospital and several tests, it was confirmed that Michael has multiple fractures in his nose. His face is too swollen to really assess what needs to be done, so setting his nose or surgery will have to wait for a few days.
I am so thankful that no one else was injured! Michael has precious co-workers who called us, stayed with him at the hospital, checked on insurance, and even started tracking down doctors in New York for Michael to see next week. Michael decided that he could take his pain medications, sleep in the "new" rental car and use a New York doctor, so he is back on the road to New York. He is a trooper!
Please pray for the swelling in his face to go down, for no pain, and for a loving and competent doctor in New York City. I know that God protected Michael and all who were with him this morning, and I am more than thankful.

Mary! I didnt realize you had a blog! Im sorry to hear about your son and will be praying for him! Your babies are so beautiful! Were starting a garden to at moms house. Hopefully it will go well :)
We'll definitely be praying for him! What a rocky start... it's so reassuring to know that God has posted angels all around Michael, and truly is protecting him!
I'll also be praying for your heart.
Oh no, Mary!! I am sure your sweet mother-heart is just aching to be by Michael's side! Thanks to God for His protective hand keeping all from critical injuries. I will be praying for him daily ... and for you all as well! Please keep us posted on how he is doing. Much love!!
I can't believe it! What a terrible beginning for him! He must have a huge calling waiting for him in New York to have such a big road block put up in front of him so fast.
I will pray for his safety big time, that he will have a hedge of protection around him and that there will be nothing able to stop him from fulfilling God's work.
P.S.--my word verification for this post is the word BLESS :-)
I am so glad Michael is okay. I am praying for safety and quick recovery for Michael and peace for you and Randy as you trust God with his life.
Dear Mary,
Know that I am praying for Michael. He truly sounds like an amazing young man. I am so thankful that he was surrounded with those who could care for him. Another blessing!
Love you,
Lea
I will keep him in prayer ~ every mother's worst nightmare is their child in a crash. Praise God he is ok.
Blessings,

How is he today? I woke up this morning with Michael on my mind, so I prayed for him. I have had a similar injury from a car accident, so this really brought back some memories!
I am glad it was not more serious than that. I hope everything works out great for his nose and its healing.
Hey Mary!!
I just wanted to let you know that I will continue to pray! How great God is for protecting him and giving him such great friends to surround him!! I loved seeing you today, I never thought cleaning could be so fun!! I also wanted to say how thankful I am to know you and your family you are all very dear to my heart I just love you!! I am so glad that I've gotten to know Missy so well and what the Lord has done through her and your family is just so amazing!! Just wanted you to know! :)
