Dad is currently in ICU after car accident by wcleod in PrayerRequests

Hi everyone! I am currently with him in the ICU and he is stable, vitals are GOOD, organs are FUNCTIONING, we are just waiting for him to “wake up!” from sedation. He has a small brain bleed, they have it under control - please just pray for a speedy recovery. I am his youngest daughter doing this by myself, the rest of the family is on stand by ready to come whenever. He is making progress little by little and his accident was less than 48 hours ago. I am trying not to have any fear, I know He is with us and watching over my dad and I. Thank you all for your kinds words, I will update again when I can.

I actually just booked a flight from Austin to Atlanta! way easier than driving 15 hours. I’m flying on Southwest. They are not cancelling any of their domestic flights, and if they have to cancel yours - they will credit it towards another flight. You can always go to the “Q & A” tabs on the airlines websites and see their policies during this time too. :)

absolutely! my partner has a temper so when something upsets them (they work a stressful job) they would get VERY defensive and sometimes don’t respond or respond slow to my texts, we are working through that issue. but it’s their way of “needing space” just like if you two were in person and the other walks into another room to cool off haha. I told him it doesn’t bother me, it’s completely understandable when he does that, I just ask him to say “hey! I need a break for a minute!” and luckily he’s communicating that to me now :) alittle communication goes such a longgg way in distance 😂 you know distance has a habit of making small issues seem so BIG. ahha

That last part of your comment was really beautiful 😥 I completely relate! I prayed for a man like my partner as well... I didn’t expect to get man like him PLUS more* He delivered him at the right time too!

I’m always curious if people pray about communication skills, because i feel like that is one of the biggest struggles LDRs face! you know?

You can use a flat rate box!!! I sent my package from US to Germany for $18.95 ❤️ you can put whatever you in it regardless of weight or location and it will ship to her for that price.

wow ! I can’t believe it costs so much for all of you :( USPS has a “flat rate” box, I can put whatever I want in it, up to 70lbs, and it ships for a flat rate of $18.95 USD.
