As all of you probably know Chris Cope was in an awful accident on Sunday. You can check Mike's blog, Brandon's blog and Val's blog for updates.
All I have to say is that no parent should have to have two different children medi-vac-ed to Cooks Childrens Hosipital in such a horrible condition. Chris was two or so when Mike and Diane made the trip with Meagan. I can not imagine how painful it was to make that trip again. These people have had their hearts ripped out more times than anyone should. Please say a special prayer for Mike and Diane.... and for the family of Brody Bourland who I'm sure are reeling from the shock of loosing their precious son.
Dear Lord,
Please, please, please wrap these families in your love and grace. We cry out to you to heal the boys who survived and shelter the family of the boy who did not survive as only you can. Father God we don't know what to say or how to say it, but please let the love and warth felt for these families help to carry them through this tragedy! Your love Lord. Let us love with your Love!
Amen

SG - I am so glad that you got the news....I tried to call you this afternoon to make sure, since I remembered that you were "offline" but the phone was busy. Gotta love the power of prayer - there are folks praying all over the world!
Chris Cope is off the ventilator, though he still has a chest tube. Chris gave the doctors a thumbs up last night. He is expected to be off the chest tube later today.
Austin Lemmons is off the ventilator and chest tube. He is expected to be released from ICU to a regular room today or tomorrow.
Amara Childers is recovering (in Abilene) from a difficult leg surgery. She also suffered a ruptured spleen. They are monitoring her closely to determine whether or not the spleen needs to be removed.
Julie Folwell is having surgery on her neck tomorrow (Wednesday)—please pray for her.
Others are reported to be improving as well.
Anon copied a post from Ryan Porche's blog from today. Ryan grew up next door to the Copes. His parents drove Mike to Fort Worth Sunday after the accident. His Dad, Dickie, is a minister at Highland. He is a reliable source.
I will be checking in from across the street for a while. The room is taking a back seat to everyday life... and decorator indecision.;0 I'll try to be up and blogging again next week??
