Not sure where to put this so Mods feel free to move it.

My 17 y/o god-sister was in a bad car wreck Friday night. She's in the critical care unit of a hospital thats 2 hours away from where I live. My family went Saturday to visit her and stayed the night in a hotel to see her again today. My god-sister was thrown from the backseat out the front window during the car accident which ruptured her spleen, broke her arm in 4 places, cut her face up pretty bad, and she's having trouble breathing. She's going under surgery tomorrow and I'm incredibly worried because I'm so far away.

I was wondering if anyone else had been through a similar experience and had any advice. Anything from things I should send her to how I relax a little bit would be greatly appreciated.

ouch
i'm sorry i have no advice for you.
i wish i did.
but i'll be praying for your god-sister and her family and you and your family.

Wow, first off I'm terribly sorry, and I hope everything works out!
My best friend was in a car accident and was in the hospital for 2 weeks, she broke her arm, nothing really serious. But she's fine now. Just be there for her in her times of need, and hopefully she heals soon!

wow, thats horrible...i'm so sorry to hear that and i offer my condolences. but no, i haven't experienced anything like that at all.

wow, i think you should just be supportive, let her know that you are there for her. that's pretty much all you can do. send her flowers, balloons, nvm, these are too mundane, send her stuff that she likes, like some cute earrings or something so she'll cheer up.

I'm really sorry, Sara. [hug]

I haven't been in many situations like that before....I'm sorry that I don't have anything to say, really...=/

You know you can always IM me.

Woah that's horrible! Well, my mom got into an accident once, like the car behind her hit her which moved her to car into the fast lane, and then a taxi cab hit her car again and it was total damage, but my mom was totally fine, no broken bones, bruises, or cuts. It was like a miracle..

wow..sorry about that.

i knew somebody who got into a bad car accident..she got her kidney and spline removed..>.<

Well, you can't do much, just hope for the best and show your support. Hopefully she'll be back to normal soon.

All I can say is that be there for her. You don't have to actually be there but you can be with her in spirit. =]

I've experienced something similiar.... my friend was in a bad car wreck, tore up all his ligaments and muscles on his right arm....

wow, that's so horrible and i'm so sorry about what happened. i offer my condolences- i hope she gets better. eh, that's never happened to anyone that i know.

i'm sorry... T__T" make her a card or something.. =) my friend's mom was in the hospital before because of cancer.. it really scared her.. T__T"

Aww, I'm sorry. Ther's not much you can do except make her a card and if possible, go visit her before surgery. But remember, it's all the little things that count Hope she gets better though.

awwwwwws that's sad.. T.T no i havent been in that situtation (sp?) well kinda my bro has been lots of surgeys b4 cuz of his kindey; but here's something. just hope and pray for the sugery to go well. =] hope it goes well.

I've been through something really similar, it was in august though.

my brother died from it though.

anyways so sorry to hear about your sister :(

sorry to hear about it...i dont know anyone hu has been in a accident so i cant really give advice...all i can say is be there for her, and if support her if she needs it...

Hm. i'm sorry to hear that. i hope she's doing okay.

Thank you guys for everything. She lost some of her CDs in the wreck so I'm gonna burn her copies of some of mine that she said she'd like to have. I'm also gonna get her some stuff for the room. I watched hours of Comedy Central before I stopped feeling so numb. Knowing that I'll see her next weekend helps some. Crossing my fingers and praying to God that the surgery goes well. Thanks for the support you guys.
