Surgery tomorrow

Thanks for praying everyone. This is going to be a long road.
Both Hannah and Pris will be going into surgery tomorrow. Hannah is in the worse condition. Her 4th vertebrae is completely destroyed. It is a cervical vertebrae. She also has 4 or 5 crushed thoracic vertebra. They have her heavily sedated, so she won't move, and fortunately she still feels a little bit of pain in her left leg and some tingles in her right leg and foot, so she's not paralyzed, praise God!
Pris is expected to be in surgery at least 14 hours and Hannah's is expected to last at least 8 hours. That is a really long time, for patients,nurses, and doctors. Our family would really covet your prayers right now. We have friends and family praying all over the continent, and would covet your prayers too. Priscilla will have a lot of reconstructive surgery, mostly facial. She was driving, and smashed her face into the steering wheel. Hannah was sleeping in the back seat and may have been lying down. If you want to see pictures of the site where it happened, off a bridge, you can go here and click on photo gallery. You can also go here to see a picture of the girls. This is an old picture (2004), but it works. The one on the far left is Hannah, and beside her is Priscilla. The little girl is their youngest sister Candace, and Mark Jr. is the boy. Faith on the right is the middle sister that was not in the wreck.
Again, thanks so much for your prayers.

To update on my friend considering the abortion, after much deliberation, she has made the wonderful decision to keep the baby, praise GOD! Even though it will mean he will leave her and she will be doing it alone.
