Prayers needed in Wellston

[Ty Webb]

My sincerest thoughts and prayers for Grant, and his family.

Here is what I have got from my son who is a good friend of grants. He has 6 or 7 broken ribs, his femur is broke in two, broken collarbone and had two collapsed lungs. He also has severe burns on his chest and leg. Grant also had some internal bleeding as of last night. From the details I have got he was being pulled on a sled by a truck going down a hill with another young man. The sled started to slide in the middle of the road so both boys jumped off. When Grant jumped off a car was coming up the hill and he went right under the car. The boys who were there had to physically lift the car off him and pull him out. I ask everybody to please keep Grant in your prayers and hope for a speeding recovery.

Thanks for the information, gorockets2. Just terrible that this happened. Once again, I hope that Grant pulls through and is able to make a quick recovery.

I used to live in Wellston and I just found out about this a couple of hours ago. My youngest son went to school with Grant. I will try to find out how he is and see what the family needs. He will be in our prayers.

The only update i have is Grant was put into a coma last night to try and let his brain and body heal. I ask everybody to keep praying.

[racenut70]

I have heard that his lungs are doing much better. They are controlling the coma so that his body can heal, surgery on his leg will be done after the swelling stops. Keep him and his family is your prayers. May God place his healing hand on Grant.
