I would like to ask for your prayers for my friend's mom who was involved in a hit and run accident on Wednesday.
As another vehicle knocked them from behind, she fell off the motorcycle and hit the left side of her head on the road (her helmet was detached from her head already then). Her father who suffered injuries on his leg tried to get help from the passerbys but none stop until an Indian taxi driver (God bless his soul!) offered his help. Isn't it sad how the Malaysian attitude has become?
Right now she is still in a coma. On Thursday the doctor performed a surgery to stablilize the compression in her brain. Her pupil which was not dilating before this started to dilate after the surgery - that itself was a miracle, because the doctor said that the chances were really small.
Yesterday another surgery was done, this time with unhappier news. The doctor mentioned that her brain is still bleeding.
We went to visit her in the hospital yesterday where she was placed in the ICU. My friend and her sister talked to her, and we could see tears from both her eyes and at a point, there was even slight movement of her lips. Before we left the ward, both of them sang her the bedtime song she taught to her grandchild when he was a baby. Sigh...During our 2nd visit with another friend, we prayed for her and chanted the Kyrie, Pater Noster and Regina Coeli.
Please continue to pray for a miracle and strength for the entire family.
Sad to see yet another hit and run incident.
ReplyDeleteNo one stopped to help because there are cases where criminals pretend to be victim and attacked those who stop by to offer help.
Sad. But in places with low security, this is the reality.
God bless your friend's mother !
ReplyDeleteI guess sometimes it's also a matter of choice. Are we willing to risk our own lives to save another who really may be in need?
ReplyDeleteIn this case, according to my friend, she was lying in a pool of blood. Pretense is highly unlikely in such situation.
Imagine if that were our loved one instead and she dies because no one stopped to help.
