She has been through two surgeries and may face another tomorrow. She has lost a portion of both of her legs and will have to walk on prosthetics for the rest of her life. Melissa lost one foot and ankle and also will have prosthetics. She also had two surgeries and might have a third tomorrow. Christy's ventilator was removed today and they're both in a LOT of pain.
If any of you are people of faith, I would appreciate your prayers for them and for my family as we deal with all of this. It's heart wrenching. Christy is only 33 and Melissa only 29. I know God has a plan for them because if you could see the wreckage, you'd burst into tears. It took three hours for the trauma team who came from the hospital, just to assist and keep them from bleeding out, to cut them from the car. They were sitting completely still and were hit by the semi after another truck hit him trying to pull out in front of him.
Anyway...I've had trouble just functioning this week...trying to work, update everyone and keep on top of their progress. I still can't fully process this, even as I explain it.
Thanks for listening.
Jessica

@Jen_967 Hope your recovery is going well. I stayed awake for a minor surgery to remove a lump on my toe...and for wisdom teeth removal as a teen, but staying awake through brain surgery wins hands down! That has to be truly challenging....and weird!
@jennifersusanmcdougall Saying prayers for a good operation and recovery for your dad.
@jessicakrall8 Prayers for continued recovery and strength for Melissa and Christy. Hope you are hanging in there! Sending hugs.3 -

@jennifersusanmcdougall I'm showing your PW as 187.5 and SW as 190. Please check and see if these nines should be 8s. Let me know.
Sorry about your Dad's infection...my cousin who was in the accident I posted about, had another surgery today and had to have the second leg taken to above the knee, so now both legs are amputated above the knee. My family is devastated but grateful she's alive. It's just a lot to take in...so I can imagine how you feel. My prayers are with ya'll...

If any of you are interested in the gofundme page and would be willing to donate or share toward my cousin Christi's recovery, please email me at jakrall@cox.net and I'll forward you the link. I won't post it here because that would break the rules. If you want to receive regular updates, you can also follow me on Facebook or Twitter.
Most of all, thank you for continued prayers...
