Can you please pray for a friend of mine? She was hit by a car while crossing the street two weeks ago and is still in critical condition. ****************************************************** 04-14-04, 03:03 PM Lydia Yafa, I will say a prayer for your friend (in the event she does exist, she does deserve prayers)...
Sorry...just can't help wondering if she is real. If so - I do hope everything works out well for her.
04-14-04, 03:23 PM Silja Two weeks? Poor girl. I shall certainly pray for her.
04-14-04, 04:13 PM shelster Yafa, she is in my prayers
(and for anyone else, underhanded jabs are pretty childish, especially at a time like this..when ones friend is injured)
04-14-04, 04:40 PM Georgia85 Don't see any underhanded jabs here - just see a statement of fact and a question.
Yafa, what's your friend's name, and was it an accident or hit and run? What is his/her's condition?
04-14-04, 04:45 PM shelster "in the event she does exist"
Come on..time to get over it
04-14-04, 04:47 PM Leppi Her name is Susan. It was a hit and run. She was crossing a street when a car hit her and then I guess sorta zoomed off. She is doing better and it isn't as life threatining as it was before but it still is critical and she is still in the ICU.
(and Lydia, go to NCSY.org and at the top of the page there is a link that says tehillim request and has a prayer request for her. I did not create or edit the NCSY website.)
04-14-04, 06:50 PM Georgia85 Thanks for the info Yafa. We've seem to have been having a lot of "hit and runs" here lately. That would just freak me out if I ever hit anyone but I don't think I could ever just drive off.

Shel, I just calls 'em as I sees 'em - always have, always will. Wasn't a jab...was a mere statement of what many probably thought. If not, oh well, just my own comment - are we not all entitled to them?? I certainly didn't say I wouldn't pray for the poor girl. Perhaps you should stay away from reading my comments as they are not always sweet...
04-14-04, 08:19 PM gizmogram Yafa...Susan will be in my prayers as well
04-15-04, 02:16 AM puppyblues I will say a prayer for her as well.
Having said that, I have to agree with Lydia, totally on this. We have been through this with Yafa before...everyone knows it. It should be expected that people doubt her. Trust is earned. If it happened two weeks ago, why didn't she ask for prayers two weeks ago? I'm not saying it didn't happen, but like many who won't post, I do have my doubts as well.
And Lydia, THANK YOU for always telling it like it is. It's very refreshing. Smile
04-15-04, 06:09 AM shelster Sorry, its off the original topic, but since we are saying what needs to be said...right?....I can understand the point, but does it need to be here? Now?
I have no problem with people telling it like it is, many of my closest friends don't post "sweet" posts. Thats not the issue. What is the point of saying what was said?
The only thing that could be accomplished by continuing to bring it up over and over, is to reopen wounds for people. Not only yafa, but the people who were hurt. Not everyone needs to be reminded of that pain.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. She will be in my thoughts.
I don't think Lydia was reopening wounds. The wounds are not closed. (I thought the same thing Lydia did when I read this) It will take time and I think people are working on that in their own way. People would not even bother to post in yafa's threads if they weren't working on getting over it. People need to heal in their own way. We are trying and it can't happen overnight. I know I am working on it myself.
04-15-04, 07:27 AM Karrow I find the off topic posts in this thread rather distasteful. I certainly cannot blame anyone for their mistrust, but I don't think this is the place to voice it.
You have been given proof that this is a genuine case, and out of respect for the victim of the accident, and her family and friends, I think we should either respond to the request for our prayers or not post.
I just hope that none of Susan's family read this. They will be suffering so much at the moment, and this certainly wouldn't help.
04-15-04, 11:17 AM gizmogram The reason it wasn't posted two weeks ago is because Susan doesn't live near Yafa, and she just found out about it.
Just wanted to point that out...
04-16-04, 11:33 AM Elexina As always, anyone who is injured or harmed in any way has my thoughts and wishes for the best. Susan is no different. Yafa, please keep us updated on her condition and case.
04-16-04, 10:19 PM clarebear I hope your friend gets well soon. My friend's daughter was in a car accident 2 years ago so I can understand what a difficult time it is.
Try to stay positive.
{{{{{ Susan }}}}}
04-17-04, 03:12 AM DvdGStwrt How's it going today? I hope better.
Consider the prayers said and done - OK? Best heartfelt wishes to the family too on that.

04-18-04, 10:51 PM Leppi Well I just spoke to David, Susan's brother. He described her condition now as still a lot of bones broken, in a coma, and that they think there might be permanent brain damage. I really hope it isn't permanent.
04-20-04, 10:44 AM Elexina Sometimes, though, a coma can be the best thing. It can be just what the body needs: shut down parts of itself and concentrate on healing. Besides, she would be aware of the pain if she were conscious. There may be brain damage, but it may be something that can be worked through with therapy. Either way, that's not something that can really be determined until she wakes up, so just continue to hope for the best until you know different.

Elexina is right about a coma. It can be the best thing. When Carissa got in her car accident she was in a coma. (The doctors kept her in the coma) They didn't want any brain activity at all. She still does not remember the accident. Her memory is slowly coming back and so are her emotions. It takes time. Susan is for sure in my thoughts.
04-30-04, 01:29 AM DvdGStwrt Coma, the deep sleep.
Sleep is good. I hope that everything is going alright.
David
