Jess is out of surgery. She Is still very high risk for losing her arm but they were able to take a vein from her leg and put in the arm (left) to get a pulse. She will have an extensive reconstructive surgery in a few days if what they have done today doesn’t have complications. Surgeon stressed that this was a severe injury and would have a long road ahead if she is able to keep her arm.. please just keep praying.
I absolutely love that it’s positive thinking day. That’s my kind of day:)
I was delighted to see Positive Thinking Day among the choices for today.
And your news is a little more positive, thank goodness.
Let's hope the little positive steps continue. 1600014684192.png

For all of my friends here.. I really need you now. I need you to please come together and PRAY... My daughter Jessica was involved in an accident a few hours ago where she was shot. I don’t know a lot right now. The bullet entered her shoulder. They say the wound was very large with extensive tissue and nerve damage and they don’t know if they can save her arm. She is still in surgery and has been for a couple hours... I think the shooting was an accident amongst her friends but again, I don’t really know anything.. this must be every parents worst nightmare...
Thoughts and prayers are with you.

I haven't been around much lately, and I'm reading and responding in the order posts were written, so I apologize in advance for being behind the times

WHAT?!?!?!??? SHOT??? OMG! a mother's worst nightmare. This sounds just awful. I certainly hope it turns out better than expected. I'm adding my prayers to all those you're already getting, and I'm coming back to this thread daily for any new info you provide. Sheesh! Let's hope for the best!

oh please. . . my puny broken arm and knee is nothing compared to what you and Jessica are going through. My worst hardship right now is boredom! Please save your prayers and thoughts for Jessica. With all of us concentrating or effort that way, HE's got to hear us!

Speedy recovery to Jessica. I hope there is no lasting damage. Thinking of you, Heather! <3

@Yvonne G and @Tidgy's Dad - get well soon, please.

This is unacceptable that so many of my favourite TFO/CDR people are having a difficult time. Healing vibes and virtual hugs to everyone

My prayers are going up and won't stop. Every time I think of her and your family I'll pray. I believe in miracles.
