Title: Prayer works people Post by: yunt2ride on June 12, 2008, 11:16:49 AM Last Saturday we were out in the boat and my son TJ slipped off the tube and landed in the water. He could not move his legs and was complaining of his back and legs hurting him badly. Well, I finally got him in the boat and called the ambulance to meet us at the dock. They called for another ambulance because they didn't want to move him because of the way that he was complaining. They also had stat flight on the way as they thought that he may have a spinal injury. They flew him out and when they did a cat scan he showed no injuries and could finally move. The next morning he was up walking and has been in super shape ever since. I was steadily praying they he would not have any injuries and my prayers were answered. I have never been so scared in my entire life. TJ is ready for the tube again. What can you do, we can't keep them in a bubble. Remember prayer works.

Title: Re: Prayer works people Post by: yunt2ride on June 12, 2008, 02:00:29 PM Thanks everyone. The doctors do not know what happened but about 4 hours after the accident he came up to his room and was out of the neck brace and off the backboard. They said that he may show some signs of bruising internally, but nothing there either.
I know what happened. ;D ;D Title: Re: Prayer works people Post by: digginfool on June 12, 2008, 05:17:02 PM Thanks everyone.

Yea, thats what I was concerned about but I had to get him in the boat. I think if it ever happens again, I will deflate the tube, put it under him and then blow it back up. I keep the air compressor im the boat at all times.

I keep the air compressor im the boat at all times. thats a great example of Gods greatness. He has answered many of my prayers too. i have to ask one question though, why have the air tank in the boat? i mean, it would be good to use if something like that happened again but what did you use it for before that?

Its not an air tank. Its a 12 volt compressor used to blow up tubes and floats and stuff. You plug it into a cigarette lighter that we have in the boat. Blows it up quick also. Its pretty small so storing it is not a problem. Title: Re: Prayer works people Post by: VForcedave on June 13, 2008, 10:05:21 AM Great News. Thank God for that. I pull my boys on tubes, wake boards whatever and they want to do all the high flying, break neck kind of stuff. They do not have a clue. Its something like this that reminds us parents that we are in control and need to do our best to protect the little booger pickers from killing themselves.
I thank you for posting this and maybe it will save another child from the same thing. Title: Re: Prayer works people Post by: KAW3604x4 on June 13, 2008, 10:11:54 AM That's great, Yunt. Glad he is ok!!

Couldn't hardly be more careful then I was at the time he slipped off. He just slipped off and must have not been prepared for it and twisted his back somehow. I have slung him off the tube and slid him 20 or more feet on top of the water with no problems, and the one time he slips off, he hurts himself. He is ready to try it again this weekend but I won't be doing anything other then pulling him straight for a few weeks. He won't like that. Title: Re: Prayer works people Post by: Da_Mtg_Man on June 13, 2008, 11:24:08 AM My kids are the same way, They love the tube and the kneeboard. This is the exact reason why we have 3 kids. If by chance we lose one in a tubing accident then we still have 2 more..... ;D
Title: Re: Prayer works people Post by: JayDawg on June 16, 2008, 12:08:01 AM I am glad to hear that the Lord kept your son safe and healed him of any injuries. I also know what you mean about prayer too because I have seen it work many times where the doctors were left baffled because they had already given up hope.
God bless you and your family for your testimony that you shared! Jay |
