FDC,

Are you guys in Ft. Worth?
If so get my email from Jack. I am a distributor for Bledsoe Orthopedics here in Dallas and I will be happy to hook you up with whatever you need.

Knee braces, fracture boots, post op equipment, CPMs, ice machines {not covered by insurance},Bone Growth stimulators etc..... The bone stims run about 4k but i can get my hands on one or two. They will help with the bad fractures.

Hospitals are about volume and many times use cheap product.

For something like this I can find whatever you need. Let me know if I can help in anyway.

I sincerally hope the best for you and your family. Sounds like she is tough and is going to pull through.

Let me know if you need anything.
Best wishes
gib

FDC, I am so sorry to hear about what happened to your daughter and pray the fvcker responsible for this will get some jailhouse justice. All the best to your family.

Chris.....God bless....the worst is over. I look forward to seeing you again someday and laughing the way we did last year. The good days will return and be more full than ever.

Hello all,
I need to keep this short as I need to try to get some sleep. Kristyn was in surgery for five and a half hours yesterday and she appears to have come out of it very well. (She got both eye orbitals fixed as they were shattered). She hates the eye patches but is in good spirits as it looks like all the surgery may be behind us. Her ear and tongue have been successfully reattached and it is unbelievable to me how fast they are healing. She will be startint physical therapy as soon as tomorrow maybe as she is going to have to really work hard to loosen any adhesion's in her knees and hips(pelvis). Doctors have had her up a couple or times as that was the first thing they fixed oddly enough. Well that and they glued and stitched the two flaps of scalp back on first. Luckily she will have minimal scarring as the doctors here are absolutely top notch. I am as upbeat as I can be and will admit that I cry myself to sleep every day.
If I can be honest with you I realize I am talking to hundreds of people, some that know me and some that don't. Those that know me can probably count on one hand the times I wasn't laughing a bit too loud. Or making a joke out of anything I can generally think of. When this all happened I felt that person slip away. I lost it basically and thought that I was going to end up in an insane asylum as I watched my motionless daughter laying there with Doctors furiously trying to control the bleeding, her hair matted to her unrecognizable face, her leg twisted grotesquely on the gurney and I distinctly remember looking at the bag of ice on her chest that ultimately contained her tongue and thinking that Daddy's shouldn't have to bury their little princesses. I tell you all this because today Kristyn can speak, albeit painfully, and the first thing she said was "Daddy" to which I replied "right here Princess" and she squeezed my hand and nodded back off to sleep knowing I was there to protect here and all was going to be okay. As I sat there and rubbed her now clean hair I realized that it wasn't just me that was there the whole time, it was Him, sent by the power of people like the good folks on this website. It is then I decided to sit down and write this incredibly long diatribe (you guys are used to that) because now I know what friends and family means. Now I know that we both will be okay. Just think I never have to worry about anything ever again because, and I am not trying to be all philosophical, I am just emotional right now, but death was here and he can kiss our ass because we aren't' going anywhere yet. I owe all of that to the strength of a little girl I taught how to blow bubbles. I am so happy she is turning the corner I don't even care about anything else. I have her and that is all that matters, medical bills, petty arguments, nice cars....................fuck all that. Today I am a happy man and I owe it to all of you guys.
I cannot thank you enough. Gonna sign off for a bit, go have a good cry and count my blessings and each and every one of you are in them.

FDC

something as horrible as this usually only comes with one redeeming quality...perspective....makes one realize that all the peripheral garbage is trivial....

and even though physical therapy after serious injury is no picnic,it should be gravy after the last week or so you guys have just battled through....

i think everyone that read of kristyn and your ordeal feels the rollercoaster of emotion you`ve been through...and i`m sure we all feel heartened by her excellent prognosis...:mj09:

dude...get some sleep...

Gibber,
nice of you to help FDC out,

 

[Woodson]

This is great news and shows the true character of both you and your daughter, you as a loving father and graciousness to God in a time when most would become angry, and your daughter's determination to overcome such an undeserving ordeal.

There hasn't been a day go by that I haven't sent positive thoughts your way, and I promise to continue for some time.

Prayers to you both.

Thanks so much for the update, and I'm so thankful that all of you are moving forward. It is quite evident that the strength of your daughter is due in part to her father. Clearly you have amazing perspective and a tremendous heart. Your daughter is an inspiration to me and everyone else who has read your words. Not that it matters, but I did well up when reading your last update, the strength and positivity shown by your daughter, your focus on her and what's truly important in life, the matter of fact commentary about the person that did this (and how he was taken care of by her true friends) without veering off into vengeance, so much to admire for me in all of you.

Thanks for sharing this most incredibly difficult period in your lives. It has enriched mine, and given me hope, and perspective.

God Bless you all, and take care.

This is the 1st I have heard of this OUTRAGEOUS HORRENDOUS ACT... I WILL PRAY RIGHT AFTER I GET OFF FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, AND THEN FOR MINE. I cannot imagine what you and your family is going through.. If you need anything that you think I may have or even may not, PLEASE ASK. After she heals, if you need a getaway and she likes winter sports, my wife and I will open our 4 bedroom home to you and your family for a ski vacation, or fly fishing vacation, or just a hangout and check out UTAH and the MTNS.... If I can help with money, I would love to send some. Honest. Please get my email from Jack, shoot me yours, and maybe your address, and I will give as much as I can.

This really really made me search my own soul as I read EVERY WORD of EVERY POST, and you are an AMAZINGLY STRONG, PERSON, FATHER, AND MAN OF GOD... The last post by you really told me what kind of person you are underneath all of the 'outer stuff'. And for you to even take the time to share this tragedy with us here and myself, gets me to really believe that through tragedy, such good can come out; and to see the strength through your posts about your daughter and the fight in her...

MY PRAYERS (and my family's) ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! GOD BLESS AND GOD SPEED RECOVERY FOR HER.
