• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Prayers

my son-in-law who broke his neck after diving into a pool at his and my daughters wedding reception. His cord is intact but he fractured C5-7. His name is Daniel and my daughters name is Elizabeth. He is mostly sedated and has limited movement while awaiting 2 surgeries. Today his mother Helen is also mourning the loss of 2 sisters that died inside a month. No one should have to endure tragedies such as this. Makes our petty issues seem so meaningless.

We will pray for your son in law and wifes loss.
They say if god takes you to it, he will help you get thru it. I know it is hard but don't question the ways of the lord.
 
pray

pray to God that He will go before you and make your crooked places straight, because He said He would. as a child would ask his father.
 
Our prayers are with you all. We serve an Awesome God. He has a mighty hand that can heal, comfort, and lead. Be patient, it will be in His time.
 
Brian,
You know I have already lifted up Danial for his healing, and Beth for the strength to make it through this challenging time. I am also lifting you, Joy, and Helen to our Father in Heaven for strength during this time. I just can't wait for the praise report to come out of this. Remember, "by HIS stripes we were healed". I am standing firm on this, and know everything will be okay.
 
Lamont mentioned that there seemed to be a lot of bad news on the board lately. Can I share a small victory? Two days following an accident that left him a quad, Daniel can feel his feet. Do you realize how HUGE this is with a c5-7 fx? In my heart of hearts with prayers to our Lord or Lords I believe the merciful hand of the Great Physician is touching Daniel.

I did not physically see Daniel yesterday. The medical staff advised the family to cut down on the amount of time we spend next to his bed, especially with this type of injury. His body is still in shock (low BP) for surgery. But with the encouraging sign of feeling returning indicates some of the swelling on the cord is going down.

The human body has incredible self healing powers (proof enough of God existence for me). We all possess the "fight or flight" syndrome within our bodies which is transmitted through the central nervous system. The more we fight, the more we repair and the blood pressure is directly involved in this. Ever agitate your parents when you were a kid? Parents fight (scream), kids flight (cry).

In conversation with a dear friend of mine at church who sustained a virtually identical injury, he was not expected to live. But with a network of prayers he cheated death, is walking and carrying on a normal life. He said that after 30-45 days, whatever sensation you have is pretty much it. But to have feeling in your feet after 2 days, is virtually a miracle.

My daughter is holding up much better than I anticipated. She has become a pillar of strength beyond my dreams. Yesterday, was her mother in law's sisters funeral (she lost 2 sisters within a week). She was unable to be with her sister so following the funeral they brought the sister to her. So there in the hospital parking lot, the sisters were united for one last time. I have never heard of anything like this.

Long story, I'm sorry. Keep the prayers coming folks. This is one situation you can't turn the key 3 times to clear the code. You have to stay in LM for awhile.

But Daniel will RUN! :yes:
 
Prayers from my corner of the world. :pray:
Thanks for sharing the good news as well. Glad there are so many people from this board praying for everyone and that prayer requests are honored.
 
Update on Daniel: They took him off his pain meds and now he is in pain "all over". He is alert now and wasn't even aware of the halo device on his head. This morning he will be having his first surgery to pin his neck. Soon he will begin rehab for the long road back. Keep Daniel and Elizabeth in your prayers. Thank you and may God bless.
 
praying for you and your family... keep the faith, I have a friend who wrecked her car and had the same injury as Daniel... it took time but after surgery and rehab she is now doing well and almost back to normal... hang in there and God Bless.
 
:thumbup:Thanks for the update.......continued prayers.:pray::pray::pray:. Sounds like feeling "pain all over" is a good thing...........better then no feeling!:2thumbs:
