Well, it's not good. Not religious but prayers are welcomed.

Speechless reading this Dave! I will think of you and your family during these times.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

I have no words that will make your situation easier, but we'll pray for your family Dave...

Man so sorry to hear this. Prayers for you all.

Just got home a little while ago and sat with my daughter for a talk. Thank you everyone for the thoughts, comments and messages. It would take too long to like every reply so I'll just hit you all right now. I had a talk with one of the neurosurgeon guys before I went home and pretty much confirmed that she is paralyzed and not going to come out of it. At least her upper body is working, so she can wheel around in a chair when the time comes. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get things changed around here to accommodate that. Ramp, bathroom, handicap vehicle. How can I even continue working? God only knows if my insurance will cover the chopper flight. Kid and I both said that our lives are changed forever now.

Thanks again to everyone who have posted, and to any that join in later as they see this. This forum is sort of my "happy place" and reading the different threads helps me try and keep my head straight! I'll add updates later as they develop.

Thank you!

So sorry Dave. That is just beyond heavy and awful. I hope you find a way to be kind to yourself and present and loving for the rest of your family through this awfulness. I’ll be thinking about you guys.

I too am at a loss for words. So sorry you and your family are going through this, Dave.

Very sorry to hear this. Wishing the best for your family. I hope you and your daughter are able to keep each others heads up during the challenges and changes ahead.

Prayers to your wife, you and your daughter.

Illinois used to have some very good family services agencies, both government and NGO. Probably still do. It isn't a weakness to seek out some help, possibly even financial depending on your income. It wouldn't hurt to check.

Sending you and your family my sincere thoughts.

 

[ImBillT]

Praying for you Dave.

 

[MTLabrador]

That is just horrible. Praying for you.

So sorry to hear about this. You and your family are in my prayers.

I can't pretend to know what your family has, is, and will continue to go through with this unfortunate occurrence, so will offer my best wishes and prayers for a workable outcome. Sorry Dave!

Loss of words Dave, keeping you in my thoughts. If there's something a guy in South Dakota can do to help, let me know.

Speechless Dave, good thoughts your way.
