Prayers Needed...

Tim was racing yesterday afternoon in Oklahoma...somehow fell and hurt his ankle...we couldn't tell what happened...Crystal had a computer link to the competition from my computer here in Texas....not sure how it works. Long story short, Crystal called at 9:15 last night saying she and Sami were on the way to a hospital in Oklahoma City, a six hour drive from here. They made it around 4:30 this morning. Tim's ankle was broken and the tibia and fibia shattered...He just got out of surgery a little while ago and is resting. He has to have a CT Scan to find all the pieces of bone which when they find them, they'll do another operation to remove them. Today they put some sort of steel plates on the ankle. IF an infection or gangrene sets in, they have to amputate his foot...Please pray for him.

Oh,Donna! It was sad to hear!
I will pray for Sami. I hope he do not need to amputate his foot!
The Lord knows about this situation.
We will tell it to him, he is able to help.
I wish you all good! God bless!

Oh no! I know that ankle breaks can be quite dangerous. I am praying that he will be OK. God bless him, he'll have a long recovery ahead. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

I am so very sorry to hear about this! He will be in my prayers. My nephew was racing his motorcycle just a couple of weeks ago and had a similar accident and was rushed into surgery. We couldn't believe how quickly they get 'em up up and about and he is on crutches for quite awhile, but the things they do with surgery these days is amazing. I hope things work out for him.

Sorry to hear about Tim's accident. I know a lots of racers through our involvement with the Baja 1000 and I know how serious this can be.

I hope everything works out for the best and he makes a full recovery.
