PRAYERS for MONTANA

[Cookestwo]

Jim & Carolyn (Islander & Vectrola) will probably not make the March Rally.
This afternoon their grandaughter Montana evidently got kicked in the mouth &/or face by one of their horses.
She is at the Port St. Lucie Hospital, and is being transferred to the larger hospital in West Palm Beach shortly.
The reconstruction and plastic surgeons both have seen Montana and decided the transfer would be in her best interest,
Carolyn who was scheduled for "Carpo" surgery tomorrow drove down tonight to be with Christy (Montana's mom). Jim will drive the motorhome down tomorrow and set up somewhere in West Palm Beach.
We will stay in touch with them, and post updates. See most of you on Thursday late morning.
Kind thoughts and prayers for Montana, Christy and Goober, Jim and Carolyn are appreciated.

Dear Montana:

We were so sorry to hear about your accident and are praying that the Lord will heal you very soon.

We miss seeing your smiling face at the rallies and can't wait to see you and your Mom and Dad again.

Love you,
Cheri and Ron AND Lucy and Lola too!

GOOD MORNING ALL--I JUST TALKED TO CAROLYN'S DAUGHTER JAMIE--EVIEDENTLY THE ONE HOSPITAL DIDN'T TELL THE OTHER HOSPITAL THE EXTENT OF MONTANA'S INJURIES. SO, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE HER AGAIN--AT THIS TIME NOT SURE WHERE BUT AS SOON AS I HEAR ANYTHING I WILL POST IT. JAMIE SAID THAT CHRISTY & RONNIE ARE FREAKING OUT AS CAN BE EXPECTED.

KEEP THEM IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

Jim and Carolyn We will keep Montana and your family in our prayers, as well as in our church prayer circle.

Just to keep everyone updated.
Got a voice message from Carolyn late this afternoon.
Montana was transferred for a second time and is now at Broward Medical Center in Ft. Lauderdale. She was to go into surgery around 5:00 and Carolyn was on her way to the hospital.

Montana has extensive injuries, her jaw is broken on both sides, her cheeks are broken, and she is undergoing extensive reconstructive surgery as I type this post. They were able to find a pediatric cranial surgeon in Ft. Lauderdale to do this first surgery.

I am sure this is just the first step in her road of surgery and recovery.

Prayers, positive thoughts, and everything else you can give to Montana, and the entire family.

[Tom & Dee]

We will pray for Montana. Carolyn, Jim,Christy,Ronnie and the rest of the family will also be in our prayers.

Carolyn and Family,

Ralph and I have been praying for Montana and all of you. We know the power of prayer works! God is good. Be sure to tell Montana that all of the Boomers are praying and thinking of her and can't wait to see her smiling face again. We wish we could be there to give you hugs, but please know that we are with you in spirit. Hope to see you soon.
