Prayer for son afer 4 wheeler wreck



Recommended Posts

I would like to ask everyone to remember my 18 yr. old son tonight as we were out on all 4 of the 4 wheelers and my son's is a racing Yamaha Raptor 660 Limited Edition and does about 110 miles an hour. He was flying and did a wheelie and lost control and wrecked. He is really tore up. It flipped about 9 times and he skidded on the highway for aobut 30 feet and then it landed on him. We had just got it out of the shop yesterday after spending about 500.00 dollars on it and it looks to be just about totalled.

As long as he'll be alright is all I am concerned about. I just wished everyone would pray for him, he is the baby.

I know I can always count on you guys,

Love you all,

Sherri

P.S.

Before surgery I could trail ride the 4 wheelers about 1 hour and had to quit. I've rode on some really rough trails for about 6 hours non stop today. That's my NSV for this week.

I sure will, his ankle may be broke and he is totally eat up with road rash. He eat right through his clothes and tore him up. He's about 6'9 and when he called he, we were riding down by the river and he was way in front of us. He was crying and he said, "Mom, tell dad not to be mad butttttttttt

and I knew something was wrong. He's a very very sweet kid, just gets into lots of mischief. He's getting ready to enlist in the army and I'll bo bonkers. He and I are as tight as A Mom and Son can be.

Every since last month when him and my husband pulled up with it in the truck I panicked. I knew it was a racing bike and the biggest one you can get except for the 07 model and I knew it was fast. I have worried every single time he leaves on it.

He can ride a wheelie for a mile without stopping. So after tonight he was crying and said Mom, can we try to fix it, it broke both tie rod ends, broke off back wheelie bar, twisted streering wheel, and one of the wheels is bent all the way in, but he said can we get it fixed and trade it in on one of the 4x4's like yall's. I was like YES WE CAN. Thank God he's going to be okay but he sure is cut up and think is ankle is broke but that can all be fixed.

Thanks you dear friends for your prayers,

Sending my love,

Sherri

God bless your little boy. Help him heal quickly and completely. Comfort mom as it is never easy to see your child hurting or injured. Thank you Lord for shielding him from anything worse.

We will keep him in our prayers. Did they check him for any internal bleeding? How does he feel today...any fever. I don't mean to sound negative but just some things to watch out for.

Wow... that is sad! We just bought our 13 year old son a quad and I am scared to death. However, since he is learning, he is very slow and careful on it. Plus, I make him wear a helmet. Man, your story makes me concerned though. I hope he is feeling better. It is sweet though that he wants to get back on and ride again. Shows drive and determination.

Jenna, I don't want to high jack this thread but i just wanted to say that Sherri's son, i'm led to believe, has a racing quad. If you just have the reg. ole atv, it should fit to your son just fine. i have two quads, both are the rancher es400 and my 12 yr. old rides a 300. She is just fine and handles it pretty good, she's still learning. There are plenty of places that have safety classes. Best of luck, have fun and be safe.

SHERRI- Any updates? How is your son doing today? Hope you're hanging in there.:bananapartyhat:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
