yesterday, the 28th jaden and jaycee---my 5yr and 4yr daughters-- were in friona spending the night with their grandparents. late that afternoon they went out with julie's dad to check cows and ride the 4 wheeler. all went well until they got ready to load the atv up and come home. when they were getting off----jaycee in front, jaden in the middle and gary in the rear-------- jaycee decides to hit the gas just as her sissy, and papa were getting off. some how the 4 wheeler slams them all the ground and does severe damage to jadens face. we are in covenant hospital in lubbock. she just came out of surgery with a plastic surgeon. she has a bad tear on the corner of her mouth, in her mouth her whole lower cheek and lip were ripped from her jaw bone on the lower part of her outer jaw she has a puncture that goes completely through into her mouth. the dr told us he could put a piece of gauze in the inside of her mouth and pull it through to the outside!!!! he's sewn it up all really well and thinks that scaring will maybe be kept to a minimum. the bad news is that the nerve that controls feeling in the lower lip has been severed and more than likely will not grow back. all in all that's not near as bad as things could have been.
a prayer for us please
