Pray for Christin Sherburne/car accident

CarolynF · 01-02-2008, 08:44 AM

Please pray for Christin Sherburne (she was the WWorld Kimkins cover girl) who has worked hard against the Kimpire.

She and her family were in a terrible car wreck last night. They were lifeflighted to different hospitals. Her dh/kids are okay, but she was still unconscious..

Will keep you posted as soon as we hear anymore.

She is only 28 with 2 little kids and was the one who was on TV..Thanks, everyone.

Update already..Good news:

Someone at Jimmy's posted this:
Ok, through a mutual local friend I have heard that Christin and Brian are both in stable condition at the same hospital, and the kids have been released to her sister Kim and are at home. Apparently they were on their way home from a family event and had a three car collision involving a rollover (not sure if it was them that rolled). Christin is pretty banged up, but no broken bones for either of them. Neither remembers what happened or who was at fault or anything.

Praise God that they are okay and that the kids are fine!

I will let you know more as I learn it.

Pray that Christin and Brian will heal quickly..Thanks..

Thank G-d that this is the extent of it - what a frightening experience for everyone involved!

Another update:

Update on Christin from Jimmy's:

Just heard that they are expecting to be released today. Banged up but otherwise okay. Apparently they were life-flighted because they were in a rural area and needed to get to the hospital quickly.

Prayers and warm wishes are still appreciated!

I spoke at length with Melana, Christin's mom. Things are generally OK, but not all good.

The family was in a fairly new car, highly rated for safety, with lots of good safety features like air bags all around.

The kids are OK, but banged up and bruised and scared.

Brian is more banged up, had a severe concussion, but remained alert and aware, and will probably be discharged today.

Christin is in worse shape. It took them 20 minutes to cut her from the vehicle.

She has no broken bones or apparent internal injury, although her heart and lungs were badly bruised.

Her face is severely bruised, swollen, and cut up, especially around the right eye. She has a long cut through the tear duct and lash line. Her vision is expected to be fine, and they will plan for surgery to repair the damage around the eye once the swelling from her injuries subsides.

Her head took the worst of it. She is drifting in and out of consciousness, and in a lot of pain.
When she is awake, she knows who is with her, and responds to them.

However, she keeps asking the same questions, about how her family is, each time she is awake. Her short-term memory is not good right now. Apparently, that is normal for this type of injury. It may take a while before she is herself again. With time and care, though, she is expected to make a good recovery.
