Related: About this forumUrgent prayer request
This message arrived in my inbox today from a longtime friend regarding a cousin of mine:
Urgent prayer alert!!!!
Chris and her family need your prayers. Her son Ben was hit by a car which strayed off the road last Sunday. It threw Ben 76 feet.. After being air lifted to the hospital the doctors gave Chris very little hope of his survival.
Ben is hanging in there, he did not have a leg amputated as first thought, is breathing on his own, did respond to some commands. Brain injuries are not able to be determined at this point.
I wanted all of you to know what was happening, and send your blessings so Ben can continue to recover miraculously!
I will keep you all updated.

I know I said I was heading off, but I wanted to come back in and give everyone an update.
Ben has pulled through. The not only saved his leg, but with some physical therapy he's projected to make nearly a full recovery.
Thank you to everyone who joined in the well-wishing and praying.
