The Kitchen Table

Good thoughts needed

14 years ago

I need good thoughts and the powerful prayers of the KT for my nephew, Danny. He was working on his Subaru this afternoon and the jack apparently slipped. He was able to quickly roll out from under the vehicle as it started to roll, but his arm was pinned under the back wheel. At this point, we are not sure how seriously his arm was crushed. He can move his fingers which is a good sign. Your prayers will be most appreciated!

My friend's mother had that exact surgery about five or six months ago. She too is very tiny. The surgery went well but it took awhile for the connection from the pancreas to the intestine to heal, with the doctors needing to widen the drain tube at one point as the draining wasn't going well. Just a thought to keep in the back of your mind. After staying almost six weeks in the hospital, she was released and is just fine now. We'll think positive thoughts for you and say a prayer!

Thank you, I let Marjorie know you are all sending prayers and good thoughts. Heather, I would be a nervous Nellie too. I would rather be put out in a minute. Yes, Shirley I will be there. They moved her surgery up so she will be going in at 11:30 am tomorrow instead of 1:45 pm. Paul is picking me up at 9:00 am and I will most likely stay until visiting hours are over at 8:00 pm It will be a long day but Paul is lending me his Ipod which has some tv shows and movies on it. I am looking forward to watching some Thin Man movies while Marjorie is being operated on and while in recovery. I am not sure how long the surgery will be. I really hope Marjorie doesn't fret too much because it isn't good for her heart and that concerns me. She wanted to make sure a crash cart was standing by. I told her of course it would be. Her heart rate isn't supposed to go over 130 bpm but most often than not it is quite higher than that when she stresses or gets excited over something. Thank you all again. I will post when I get home from the hospital. Anne

It's hard to imagine how this could have happened and the aftermath looked horrific. Such a sweet-looking town.

I was so hoping you'd come back and say they found out it was something like pressure they could relieve and you'd be ok. I'm still praying for a really great result!

I'm glad he's OK, but seriously???

After ALL the safety warning about getting under a car while it's on a jack???? Who DOES that?

That is just STUPID. Yes, I know I'm going to get crucified for this, but still: don't get under a car if it's not on jackstands or ramps! GAHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Forget about blaming someone, it was an accident. Hope Danny feels better fast and is soon back to normal. I'm praying for him. God always answers when I pray for others, not so much when I ask for myself.

We all make poor judgments. Sending good thoughts and prayers for complete recovery.
Look at the number of farm accidents this country has every year.
I am NOT condemning anyone, everyone is entitled to express their own opinion. That is because we live in a free country. (most of the time)

I'm grateful it's "just" his arm and hoping for a full recovery.

Accident? No, it was an intentional act to get under a car while it was on a jack. Unless, of course, he tripped and fell and rolled under the car.

Mamatoad, I'm so sorry to hear about your nephew's accident. Do you have any news to share with us today? I hope and pray it's good.

Thinking of your newphew today. Is there any news you can report on his condition? Prayers~

Sending positive thoughts. All injuries are caused by someones momentary poor judgement. That is why they are called accidents and that is one of the ways we all learn. Maybe someone will learn from reading or hearing of Danny's misfortune. Certainly his friends will. I hope he recovers fully quickly.
