In desperate need of serious pixie dust

**kakn7294** · 03-22-2010, 11:24 PM

My friend's daughter and her friend were in an accident on Saturday night. Both girls were riding a single bike together when they lost control and crashed head-on into a tree. They are currently in critical condition. My friend's daughter has severe head injuries and had a stroke this morning. She's in a drug-induced coma, extremely battered and swollen, has a broken femur, and potentially other broken bones including possibly a hip or pelvis but it's too risky to attempt further x-rays right now. She may not survive - the doctors say her age is in her favor but she's still in a very bad state. Her friend has broken both legs, has had a foot amputated, her shoulder is shattered, she has lacerations on several internal organs, and bruised lungs. She is on a ventilator right now. Both girls are only 14.

Oh my goodness--this all happened from a bike accident? What a tragedy.

Sending pixie and more importantly, prayers their way. I so hope they recover.

Oh my, how awful. What a tragic accident. The children and their families are in my prayers.

Oh my goodness... I hope everything turns for the better for the girls. How scary that must be for their families... I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

How awful! Lots of wishes for both girls to recover well and quickly!

Sending many prayers and lots of pixie dust

their way. What a sad thing to happen to such young girls. Hopefully things will turn around for them. I had a relative who was in a serious car accident with similar injury's and they were put into an induced coma also. Low and behold they brought him out of the coma a week later and beside the broken bones he was in perfect health (head wise) and was back to work in about 2 months. I am sending my best wishes for a speedy recovery to them and their families.

Such a sad happening! Hope and prayers and pixiedust coming your way!

Oh my God. My heart and prayers go out to the families.

I am asking this for informational purposes and not to belittle what has happened. I am asking to protect my 4 year old daughter. I am thinking about hiding her bike for the season now.

Were they riding a bicycle or motorized bike?

Were they wearing helmets?

How did this occur?

From the damages, it is hard to fathom how peddling a bicycle could cause such massive damages (head trauma can be understood, a broken leg understood, two broken legs ca little much, an amputation is a little out there. All of this together is unimaginable. It almost sounds like the absolute worst case scenarion)

Oh how horrible! The girls and thier loved ones will definitely be in my prayers!

**SBETigg** · 03-23-2010, 08:24 AM

Oh, Kathy! How awful! I'm so sorry this happened. My prayers are with both girls and their friends and families.

The girls were riding together on a single, regular bicycle on a fairly steep rural road. They lost control of the bike and went 30 feet over another hill and head-first into a tree. Unfortunately, they were not wearing helmets although I'm not sure how much of the head trauma that would have prevented. Because it was a rural road, the only reason they were found when they were was because another cyclist happened to hear one of them thrashing and moaning as he passed by the spot of the accident - he normally does not take that particular route. It was getting late in the day and they would have been difficult to spot from a car, especially in the dark.

Many prayers and tons of pixie dust for the quick recovery of these girls!
