A prayer request

I was just woken by a phone call. Late last night after leaving a club where her friend was having a bachelorette party, my sister in law was struck by a drunk driver. All I've been told is she has a head injury so bad they are draining the fluid off her brain.The driver left the scene but was turned in by a family member. Thats all the details I have. Please from what I'm told she needs all the help she can get. Thanks in advance.

(1) I don't have a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind,
(2) I don't give the devil a foothold in my life. I resist the devil, and he has to flee from me,
(3) The love of God has been shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost,
(4) I cast all my care on the Lord for He cares for me,
(5) I am a doer of the word and not just a hearer, I meditate on the Word all the day long,
(6) I catch the devil in all of his deceitful lies. I cast them down and choose rather to believe the word of God,
(7) I lay hands on the sick, and they recover,
(8) I am a believer, not a doubter, and finally,
(9) I cry to God most high who performs on my behalf and rewards me.
I will pray for her and ask God to heal her and do a work in her, she will have a great TESTIMONY when she comes through this situation, and she will be able to encourage and help someone else going through a similar situation such as this or maybe even worse than this.
Remember: I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS WHO STRENGTHENS ME!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless You All,

Well this has been one of the longest days of my life. It started out with a 5:50 am phone call that sent me into shock. After spending 10 hours working my parents restaraunt,I finally got to go see her myself. At 2 am after leaving her co-workers party. My sister in law was struck by a drunk driver leaving the same club. Her condition is as follows.
Depression fracture to left temperal(skull/temple)
Laceration of her liver
Bruised lung
She has a catheter in her head to drain the cereberal swelling
She will be sedated by iv drip for the next three days.
Tomorrow will bring a CT scan
The good news is she has moved her arms and legs constantly since her arrival at the hospital. Unfortunatly she's not responding to voice. In spite of the sedation she has sat up 3 times and ripped out her trach tube.(she's now restrained)
She can breathe on her own but is intibated for safety.
She's in rough shape but she's a fighter.
Also while I was in the room with her & my brother, he carressed her foot and to me she seemed to respond.To the point that the bells and whistles went off for a moment. That seemed to help my brother out alot. I've seen a side of my brother today I didn't know existed. My baby bro is alot stronger than I would have ever given him credit for. I'll tell you this, if Bev was laying there, I don't think I could be half as composed.
Thank you all for your prayers.

Thanks for the update. You and your family will be in
my prayers. May God continue to strengthen you, your brother,
family and sister-in-law.

I was hit by a drunk driver and had my carotid severed.. thanks to a quick thinking LEO, they got me to the hospital in time and operated.. the driver got a year in jail.. he is out and driving again...
*hugs*
One woman's opinion
morning but I will pray for her physically and spiritually. The Roman centurian asked that Jesus merely speak and his daughter would be healed and she was.

Don't worry about the bullet with your name on it, worry about the fragmentation grenade addressed 'To Occupant'.
A great rifle with a junk scope,....is junk.
The drunk driver ran a stop sign on a cross street on the four lane Hwy just 15 minutes from her home........
Please send prayers to the Burke Family......
Thanks jamie
I sorry , he was not "legally" drunk.......missed it by .018

You have my family's thoughts and prayers, keep your chin up!!
Gun control is hitting your target
When things like this occur, they have a way of stirring us up to seek, help from above, and it reminds us of the brevity of life, and the fragile nature of the physical body.
An yet knowing this, we long for our new resrurrected bodies.
So, then the God of heaven and earth is, the same God who not only, forgives Sin, and heals all diseases, for HE is also able and willing to mend broken bodies;
if He sent (Christ) who died for us while we were yet sinners, how much more will he give all who willingly seek his face and put their trust in Him in their hour of need.
We are convinced that HE, The Judge of ALL the earth, will do what is right; for HE is not the GOD of the dead, but the GOD of the LIVING.
We don't know your sis-n-laws name, but I have prayed for Her.
