Carol-Ann Parker, the mother of two Mckenzie and Brett and a wife; dear friends of mine and the kids I babysat for for years, was in the car cash Sunday on I-26 in South Carolina that sent 5 people to the hospital, flown or drove. One car in the west bound lane was changing lanes when it hit another car that swerved over into the east bound lane and hit two cars head-on (one of which was Carol-Ann) and then swerved back to the west bound lane where it hit another car. Her husband was flown to the crash site and saw her right after the collision, her two children thankfully did not see her like that but they did go to the hospital Sunday and were there until today when their dad took them back to school in West Columbia. She was in very critical condition when she arrived at Greenville Memorial Hospital. They did immediate surgery and they were able to stop the bleeding and get her stable. The CT scans showed there were no head injuries. She has a breathing tube and can not talk so she is spelling words in peoples hands, early Monday morning she spelled HOME in a loved ones hand so she has a goal to come home to Columbia. It also appears that her right hand and right foot may be broke. She's been running real high fevers, they have been keeping cool rags and running fans on her non-stop. This morning they went in and did a surgery to make sure all issues were addressed, they were and they closed her back up. Her family thought she was recovering great before the doctor came out and told them that her injuries are just that bad and she is still not out of the woods yet meaning anything could happen at anytime. They were also informed that the pancreas has suffered some damage which is making the doctors put in a feeding tube for 4 to 6 weeks, also because of the surgery today they have the ventilator on as well, they are planning to turn it off some time tomorrow, if it doesn't come off its no big deal. She is going to be in the ICU for 2 weeks if not more. It is unsure when she will be returning to Columbia but she has a long recovery and she is fighting for her life. I also found out that a 17 year old teenage girl lost her life this morning after fighting for her life after the crash. Please keep Carol-Ann and the Parker family in your prayers and also the 17 year old girl's family as well. Carol-Ann and her family are very dear friends of mine and mean a lot to me. I love them to death. Thank You All.
Dear God, You know what happen early Sunday morning. Lord I pray that you give the doctors the knowledge the need to properly treat Carol-Ann. I pray you give Carol-Ann the strength she needs to pull through this. She has two young children that love her and want her to come home to them Lord. Give her family the peace they need and the strength they need to help her pull through this. I know its in Your hands now Lord and its up to You. Keep her safe. We all love her dearly. Thank You Lord.
Carol-Ann your a fighter and a trooper and I KNOW you will pull out of this and be home with your children soon! I love you guys a bunch! ##AlwaysInMyHeart
