As human beings we will all face tragedy, sorrow and grief at times in our lives. It is so hard to understand. My friends, I share with you a story that is close to home. This is so hard to write because my feelings run so deep within the strands of this event.
On September 12th my son Terrill's best friend, Dylan Murphy was in a car accident near Dickenson, ND. He is currently in HCMC, Minneapolis with 3 fractured vertebrae and paralyzed from the chest down. Within a few days of the accident, before they could do surgery, Dylan developed a fever. His lung collapsed and he has an infection in his lung (pneumonia). The surgery had to be postponed, he was put in a Halo, and a respirator and had a traeceotomy. Last week he was to the point where the Doctor's could do the surgery on his spine. All I know at this point is the surgery went well. But today I read that the fever has returned.
Terrill went to see him last week and it was the hardest thing he has ever had to do. He said to me, "Mom, I have never had to face tragedy like this." Dylan is Terrill's best friend since highschool and Dylan had just asked Terrill 2 months ago to be his best man. They were planning on a Jamaica wedding. Dylan and his fiance' have a 2 year old boy.

My friends, family and anyone else reading this, I beg of you to join me and my family in praying for Dylan. I believe in miracles and I believe Dylan will recover and walk again! Hallelujah and AMEN!
