Sad news

I have sad news to share. My nephew Reed was involved in an accident on Wednesday night. He was kicked in the head by one of the horses. He was sent by life-flight to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City where he had surgery. His skull was fractured and he had bleeding on the brain. The doctors removed a piece of his skull to allow room for swelling and repaired some blood vessels in his brain. Yesterday was touch-and-go. His brain was very swollen and his inter cranial pressure was high. Last night/afternoon, they were able to get his inter cranial pressure down and his brain waves to slow down. (That is a good thing because the more active the brain is, the more swollen it becomes.) He is in an induced coma and we are all praying that his little brain will heal and his heart will be able to take all the stress of working so hard for his body. He is only 8 years old and was baptized in December. I have not yet gone to Salt Lake. They told me there is nothing I can do but wait and see. So we are waiting for now, even though it is very difficult for me to stay away. Reed could use all of your thoughts and prayers. There are quite a few friends that follow my blog that live in various states and I would greatly appreciate if any one who is willing, call their local temple and put his name on the prayer roll. His full name is Reed Garrett Robinson. For now we wait and pray for the best possible outcome. The doctors have prepared his parents (my sister and her husband) for the worst but they have seen many sick children recover. They said that there are going to be more scary moments ahead when his inter cranial pressure goes up and down, so all we can do is wait it out.

Until next time... Pray for him...
