CINDY'S THURSDAY REPORT-REVISED

TREY:
When Cindy and Larry arrived at the hospital this morning, Trey was sitting up in a chair drinking broth and water! He was talking and asking questions about what had happened, how everyone was doing and so on... They are starting to reduce his fluids and if he can drink enough, they are thinking about taking him off of the IV. The head of the burn unit, one of Cindy and Larry's friends, says that she will let Trey go visit Tyler in the burn unit if he is strong enough.
BTW, Trey also sustained second degree burns on his head but because the burn unit was full he was sent to regular ICU.

TYLER: They are starting skin graft surgery on his arm around noon. They warned Tonya that the area where they harvest the skin to use for the grafts will hurt just as bad as the burned areas because they have to cut down to the nerve.
Tyler burned one hand, probably from trying to pat out the fire on his arm and chest.
They would like to take Tyler off of the vent, but because he tends to put up a fight when he starts to wake up, they have to keep him under. The nurses say that this is very very common.
Cindy wants us to BIND THE SPIRIT OF FEAR for Tyler. She says that they want one of the family members to be there next time he wakes and that maybe it will help. They can't remove the vent until Tyler is calm. Tyler still doesn't really know what is going on or where he is.

When someone told Trey that Tyler was giving the nurses heck, Trey laughed and said, "That's Tyler."

Keep praying, you are all such a blessing to this family...

"How beautiful is the body of Christ"

ADDITION FROM EMAIL:

Ann Ogle – Ogle Harvesting Pratt, Kansas:

I appreciated so much your adding the note to ‘Pray for Keith, too’. Your pointing out “...the collateral damage-the emotional and psychological repercussions …..” was insightful and important, as this young hero, and others involved certainly needed to be included in the many prayers going heavenward.

However, there are two others needing Divine comfort, strength and peace that have not been mentioned. The young driver of the semi and his crew owner, I’m sure, has been devastated by what happened. So I’m asking the good folks of Munday, Texas and the many friends and relatives of the Thompson family to include them in your prayers. Knowing Cindy and Larry and their sons, I know they would agree.

For about 25 years, we harvested Thompson’s wheat. We grew to know and love this family in that capacity. Because of that position, we can know the hearts and minds of the truck driver and crew owner, and realize how and what they are feeling. Custom harvesters live with the fear and concern of accidents and danger from the time they leave home on summer harvest till the fall crops are in. This, because of the number of vehicles necessary, the number of miles traveled and the amount of machinery needed to do the work.

Thank you and Believers Chapel for this wonderful service you are providing on behalf of the Trey and Tyler and their families.
