Prayers Needed

My daughter's best friend Amanda is in need of as many prayers as possible. Last night her and her boyfriend were on their way home from fishing and they were in a terrible car accident. Unfortunately, Junior, that's her boyfriend's name, had been drinking and lost control of the truck and wrapped it around a tree. He was only about 2 houses away from his when this happened. He was arrested, of course, for a DUI and she went into surgery.

Amanda is now in Surgical ICU in a medicated coma. She fractured her pelvis and has 2 spots on the brain bleeding. My daughter went up to see her earlier today and she said Amanda has a tube coming out of her head and is on a breathing machine. They want to keep her asleep for about 5 days then wake her up. She will then, hopefully, move to her own room and start a speedy recovery.

I know everyone should be pissed at Junior for doing this to her but he is beating himself up, severely. He loves her more than anyone in her life ever has and he is just beside himself with grief. He's sitting at her bedside now just holding her hand and crying nonstop. He needs prayers as well.

So please when you go to church tomorrow and/or say your evening prayers, please include Amanda and Junior in them.

Thanks
