Prayers for one of our own...(Howzit)

[Lott's Bandana]

...who is dealing with a significant trauma to one of his own. Things are really looking better, but he received quite a scare over the weekend.



I'm sorry for the cryptic note, but I don't feel it appropriate for me to identify which particular SoonerFan is dealing with this sudden challenge without permission, but no doubt most of you know this longtime poster and many of you are friends. I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge another SoonerFan that is supporting him and needs our love as well.



Please take a moment and send some thoughts and prayers to them the next few weeks.



Thanks for listening.


EDIT: Howzit posted this on Facebook, so I am taking the chance it is okay to share with all of you:


Saturday:
For my FB friends that have not heard, Chloe fractured her neck in a gymnastics accident and is currently in Trauma ICU at OU Medical Center. She had surgery yesterday and it went well. We should know by Tuesday what type of rehab will be required, but we are all positive. Many prayers, countless good thoughts, some bad *** joo joo, and a couple of lopped off chicken heads have been sent our way. We are thankful for each and every one.

Today:
If you had told me Friday that Chloe would be walking and giving a thumbs up on Monday, I would never have believed it. The progress over the weekend is nothing short of amazing, and with a couple of weeks of in-patient rehab at Jim Thorpe, she may just be discharged before her 21st bd on March 8. You're a beast, kid.

great news, Rich.

[colleyvillesooner]

Wow, Rich that is amazing. Prayers will continue for her speedy recovery.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Hope for a full recovery.

Looks like Junior is tougher than the old man, which stands to reason. She's a gymnast and he's a fairy-boy swimmer...

All the best to you guys as you work through this deal. Also, the fine folks at Jim Thorpe are the absolute best. When Jered was there for 9-weeks of in-patient and another year of out-patient they worked miracles on him. He hated every second of it, but it was so necessary.

Speedy recovery Junior.

[TUSooner]

In with the prayers & best wishes, Rich. Glad to hear Junior is on the way to full recovery. Whew!

[Curly Bill]

Glad there's good news. Continued prayers and well wishes.

Thanks everybody. She's doing really well, but is a little bummed because they are keeping her an extra day in ICU instead of transferring to Jim Thorpe. Nothing serious, just taking a little longer to cut back on the blood pressure meds than they had thought.

Every day a nurse will say something that reminds me how lucky she is, this could have been so much worse, and the odds are that it probably should have been worse. She is, indeed, a beast.

[olevetonahill]

Give her a Hug for me. And let her know Id like another dance

[Howzit]

I'll do it.

[C&CDean]

Also let her know I bought one of those new go-fast Gators and she's always welcome to come out and thrash it about.

[Oldnslo]

ALL prayers in, Rich. I'm thrilled she's doing so well!

[3rdgensooner]

She's tenacious. I like that.

[Fraggle145]

Glad to hear she is on the way to recovery.
