I received this email from Jim's mom today. I don't know how she heard about this family, but I wanted to ask all of you to pray for this little boy and the grandfather who ran over him (who I am sure is suffering terribly!). If/when I receive updates, I will post them on here! Thank you for your prayers! May God hear them and respond!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please lift up Preston Lloyd in your prayers. The 2 1/2 year old son of Cinamon and Ashton. They have one other child, daughter Taylor who is 7. They are a great Christian family. Preston was backed over by accident Wednesday by a riding lawn mower his grandfather was riding, who lifted the mower off of him.. He was air lifted to Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte. They live in Mooresville, NC. Preston went through 3 hours of surgery Wed. night to stop the bleeding, it is still hour by hour. He has lost his left kidney, spleen, most of his intestines, esophagus was torn from his stomach, fracture (not know how many yet) and ribs broken. He opened his eyes Wed. night (to his mother's singing) and his head appears to be OK but still lots to be determined. The doctors say that if this would have been an adult or a larger child that he would not have made it this far. Little children's bodies can make it through major things. Friday morning update - Preston will be going into surgery this morning after 9am for them to see if the esophagus is long enough for them to reattach it to his stomach. Please pray for him that the surgery goes well and that they will be able to fix this. He needs our prayers so much! He is beginning to swell, which the doctor said would happen. God hears our prayers and will answer them. Please pray for little Preston that he pulls through this. Please pass this on to any more Prayer Warriors that you know.
