Please Pray

Please pray for my friends Jessica and John.  Jess was in a very bad car accident last night.  She was 8 months pregnant and the baby did not survive.  She was rushed to the hospital for an emergency c-section but there was nothing they could do for the baby.  I don't know where she is or how she is just yet - I'm assuming she's still at the hospital where the baby was born.  Late last night I was told she was critical, but stable. 

I'm praying she doesn't know what happened to the baby yet.

Re: Please Pray

  • That is so horrible that I got goose bumps from reading it. They will be in my thoughts/prayers.
  • Oh my gosh! That is so sad that the baby didn't survive. I hope Jess is doing alright and as bad as it sounds I hope she does know about the baby because I'm sure she'd want to at least see and possibly hold him/or her. Keep us updated on how she's doing. I'll say a prayer for her and her husband today.

  • I can't imagine - that poor family!!  I'm sure once Jess is able, all she'll want to know is about the baby. Sad T&Ps she'll recover quickly and somehow, something will bring her some peace in her grief over having lost her child.

    I can't even begin to comprehend her poor husband...

  • Kristin: I agree -I hope Jess was able to hold him, but from what I've been told (again, I'm waiting for word - no one can get in touch with John right now) Jess wasn't in any shape to be able to hold the baby.  The accident was really bad (a truck pulled out in front of her - she was going around 60mph).  The other driver is in ICU (which, I don't really care about him right now - I don't want him to die, of course, but I'm more worried about Jess). 

    I've been crying all morning for them.  My mom is trying to get ahold of John's mom or grandmother now.

  • My prayers are with them.

  • That is just awful and the fact the husband doesn't know about it yet, is even worse.  I Can't even imagine what they are feeling right now.  They are in my thoughts and prayers.

    I didn't say that very well - John is with Jess.  He's just not answering calls from anyone else right now.  He was there when the baby was born - that's how we found out the baby didn't make it.

  • Oh ok.  That doesn't make the situation any better but at least he was there.

  • Sending lots of prayers their way.

  • Update:

    Jess's stepdaughter was in the car with her but was unharmed.  Jess is off the ventilator but is in ICU.  She asked to see the baby when she woke up.  I don't know if she knows now or not but I assume so.

    It is bringing tears to my eyes just imagining what your friend is going through. I'm happy to hear her stepdaughter was unharmed. So very sad.

  • Kristin: Jess did get to hold her baby.  They said he was absolutely perfect but died on impact from the crash (they thought they found his heartbeat at the scene but apparently they didn't).  Jess knows that he's gone but they have her heavily sedated because of her wounds and to help ease the pain.

  • As sad as the situation is, I'm glad she at least got to hold her baby. I couldn't even imagine being 8 months along with a perfectly healthy baby and then have it ripped away in a second like that because of another driver who was doing who knows what to cause the accident. My heart is breaking for your friend.
