YT 2000 Club Member | Prayers Needed Desparately! This is not yorkie related nor is it furkid related, but I know the power of prayer and this boy needs them desparately! My husband and I went for a ride to go look at a home we thought about purchasing, when we left there, right down the road from it on a curve was a truck flipped into a tree. I screamed for hubby to stop, their may still be someone in it, he backed up and all I could hear was the most horrifying scream I've ever heard in my life. I started to run toward the truck (it was still running, the back wheels were turning really fast in the tree and I could think was OMG, it's gonna blow! A kid came screaming ad crawling over the top of it. I ran to get him and he fell off the truck and hit the ground. Hubby ran to get a cell out of our jeep and call 911, and I got the kid to work with me to get him away from the truck and back by our jeep. OMG you guys, his arm looks like it went through a meet grinder. Bone, tendons, muscle, veins, all exposed from his hand all the way up his to his shoulder, the whole top half and side of it. Half his ear is gone, he has a huge gash in his head and the back of his neck looks like his arm. I got him on the ground by the jeep and ran to my husband and got his shirt off him and ran to the jeep to get a knife. I wripped the shirt apart and tied off at the very top of his shoulder to try and stop the blood. I hope I did the right thing. He had a puddle of blood on his chest. He's only 16 YEARS OLD, JUST got his license and was driving home from work in the pouring rain. Please, anyone who prays, please pray for him. His name is Curtis. I was able to get his Step Dads number from him before he really started losing it and my hubby called him after he got off the phone with 911. My extra cell is toast from the rain but I don't care, I just want that boy to be ok. If he doesn't lose his arm or his life, he's gonna have a very long road ahead of him to recovery. It makes me cry now, the boy kept saying, I was supposed to go to my Dads tomorrow, he kept sayin it over and over, and then he looked at his arm and stared sayin, no, I wanted to go to the army and fight for my country, how am I gonna do it now? That boy is lucky to be alive and all he could think about was fighting for his country and seeing his Dad tomorrow. I'm gonna go so I can call is Step Dad and see how he's doing. Please, I beg of you, say prayers for this boy, he needs them desparately. Thank you so much in advance.

| OH my God! What a terrible thing to come upon, but thank God you DID and were able to help him! I'm so sorry for you and for him and will definitely keep Curtis in my prayers. Let them know at the hospital that there's a lot of people praying for him. I'm sure that he'll be ok and you did a wonderful thing by stopping to help. Let us know how he's doing when you hear.
