For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Cory's Injuries- Early Monday 1-18-10 From Sam

AOL EmailMarge, I know that you have come through the brain surgery ordeal and it wasn't easy. Of course this boy is probably 16 and you were an early 60's girl.




We were at the hospital yesterday and the dad, Mickey Lundy had just been encouraged by the brain surgeon's opinion that Cory was showing good vitals and brain activity. You probably know that the first 72 hours after a head injury to the brain are extremely important. The accident occurred at about 5:15 PM Friday so that tomorrow evening will mark the first 72 hours. Cory was doing so well yesterday that they began weaning him away from so much medicine to help him gain consciousness out of the coma. However, in a couple of hours, they had to restore the medication because he was regaining too quickly and trying to get out of his restraints.



Mickey took Jeanie and me into Cory's private ICU room. He is lying there unconscious as he has been since the accident. He doesn't look badly cut up, but has a swollen shiner on his right eye and a tube coming off the top of this head. Of course his head has a turban bandage. The stomach opening showed no apparent damage, but he has a couple of broken facial bones which they don't believe will require surgery. His left eye is swollen but not blue like the right one. His arms and legs appear to have no serious damage.



Laramie, Cory's mother's brother, Chad stayed with him through Saturday night so that Mick and Laramie could go home for some rest. He said that at one point the nurse had him hold Cory's arms down and he opened the left eye but was otherwise not responsive.



There is such a demonstrated evidence of his school and community support that my sisters Sharon and Sandy are buoyed up by their love. The waiting room was full of young classmates and friends. Likewise We obviously are and appreciate the concerns of our email friends. Laramie mentioned there was even some email response from as far as Barcelona, Spain.



Mick and Laramie expect a busy day today as the surgeons want them in the room when the youngster comes out of the coma. Prayers are bringing encouragement to the family. Please continue. Our Lord knows and does best in each situation.



I am blind copying several people and will blog this to prevent repeated typing.



Thanks Marge1



Sam

Sam, that poor young man. How is he doing? Have you heard any more about the cause of his accident? Sure hope he doesn't have to have brain surgery? That is really tough to go through. Marge

I have repeatedly prayed for Cory, Mick. I believe that our God answers the prayers of even sinners like me. I am forwarding your email to many who are waiting and wanting good news from your son. He showed the good receiving hands of his dad, who caught many passes for Westerville South's fine football teams. Your dad, Don Lundy, and Mother Sharon loved the boy and all of the Kegley-Lundy offspring are justly proud of him.

Sam,



Thanks for you email. Today is another big day for Cory. The first 72 hours after a brain injury are important. He is still unconscious...they won't even try to wake him up until after the 72 hour period elapses. His vitals are good and they are seeing the improvement that is needed. Say a prayer for him please.



Love,

Mick
