In need of a few hugs. Get back from holiday late Thursday. Yesterday (Friday) I get an urgent call from my daughter saying that my eldest grandson - Joshua - has had an accident on his motorbike. His left foot has been crushed. He had an operation late last night to remove all the bone splinters as one was cutting off blood supply. He will need several more operations and we have been told that he will probably never regain full use of the foot. Not good news for a 17 year old. He will be in hospital for at least a week, then I will go to Johannesburg to help look after him. Sarah.

I am so sorry to read this. He has youth on his side and I know he will have lots of people praying for him. With a motorbike it could have been worse. Hugs to you Sarah. Keep us posted.

Praying that his surgery will be more successful than the doctors think. Having dealt with my daughter's foot surgery last August and several months of recovery your help will be much appreciated.

Oh Sarah, this is terrible news. I am so sorry. At least the rest of his body is okay, and they can do wonderful things now with prosthetic devices. But, what a sad things for a 17 year old. I'm glad you will be able to go help. Much love and prayers, Jan

So sorry, Sarah, for your grandson's injury. As young as he is, there is most likely a really hopeful outlook to his healing well and regaining good use of his foot. It will take lots of time, but youth have a way of bouncing back and overcoming truly tragic injuries. May the Lord bless him with a fast complete recovery, and you with peace of mind that He works miracles! Hang in there!
Hugs,
Angel

Oh, Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear this. I will certainly stop now and pray for his healing and help through pain. At least you will feel better being there to help take care of him. ;)

Very sad to hear this about your Grandson.
Prayers for all and may he have a speedy recovery.
Hugs from Bev (NPN)

Wow! good thing you can go and help. You have had way too much, blessings and comfort to you and yours. christine

Oh my goodness, prayers for your grandchild.

Sarah I am so sorry. Kids are resiliant and there are lots of medical miracles these days so one day he may well exhibit no evidence of ever having a crushed foot. In the meantime I pray for all of you especially Joshua. That's God's grace will help him deal with the pain and discomfort that is sure to come./Lillian

Sarah,sending you double hugs. Wishing the best for your Grandson and you. Take care and be careful

Sarah, first welcome back after your holidays. Is this the grandson that was hit by a..... taxi earlier in the year? You are in my thoughts and I hope he will recovery in full. Have a safe trip.LOVIES

Oh dear, I am sooo sorry to hear this. Am pleased that you had a great holiday with the kids in Italy and now you will have to gather all your strength to help with Joshua.

I will pray for your grandson. I hope the Dr. is wrong and he make a complete recovery. The young tend to heal well so hopefully he will get back to normal. Hugs, Mary

Hi Sarah ! Nice to have to back ! Sorry to hear the bad news. It is the same grandson that was attacked some time ago ? Just keep the spirit up. Maybe things will not turn out so bad at all. Wishing lots of recovery to him.

Sarah, I will be praying for your Joshua (I too, have a Joshua grandson and step son). It is amazing what they can do these days - travel safely to and from Johannesburg.

Hope he has a full recovery, he is very young, bones heal well when you are young. God protect him.
