I'm back, My cousins drugged up wife almost killed their baby in a car wreck last Sunday night. Thats why I've been gone the last week. She was on a drug run at 2:30 in the morning and was high, lost control and hit a tree. After 6 hours of surgery, the doctors put the baby's head back together and only by a miracle she made it through.
Once she was released from the hospital, she was at the grandparents house with my cousin for a few days. He was taking care of her but Friday after not sleeping at all since the accident, he was going to get clothes from his house and he got into a wreck. He had had 2 surgeries. The second one today, he hasn't been able to breathe on his own yet. His injuries are to his arm mainly. The doctors are telling us that he will be able to use his arm fairly well and he should have a full recovery. He is having trouble breathing now because of an infection.
His wife has already taken the baby (The injured baby, just out of the hospital)and fled to another state and she will end up being arrested and goodness knows how all of it will end up.
Their other child has been taken to a family friend for safe keeping so the mother won't take her too and flee the state.
Please pray for these kids...And my cousin! I want him to get his life straight and put his kids first. I hope this shows him that his kids should be first in his life. If this doesn't do it, I don't know what will!!! God help us all!!!!

I'm hoping it will all work out as well... It's ashame parents don't realize children are the special gifts they are...
My cousin was just taken off the resperator today. He is doing better than he was... I think it will take time to recover from the two surgeries mostly. He was hurt really bad. He is upset about the baby being taken out of the state but his dad and grandmother are getting a good lawyer and CPA is involved.

My thoughts are with you and your family. My question is why didn't they arrest the baby's mom for DUI? I hope they get her before anything bad happens. I will say a prayer, I hope that this whole incident will open your cousin's eyes and he seeks help. God Bless you and your family and the baby who was injured in the car accident.

Oh God please have mercy on us! I'm so shocked silly right now and lost for words. I'm so incredibly sorry to hear about this and will be praying for you night and day. For what it's worth, please call this number, it's a Christian group in which all you do is call them and tell them your story and that you need prayers. When one is in need and you need prayer chains started this is one remarkable way to do so. The people are so wonderful to talk to over the phone and they pray with you and for you. I've had to call them a couple of times and Mom has too a few times and they're just wonderful caring people!
The number is 1-800-NOW-PRAY (1-800-669-7729)
