[spartan]

Thanks for the positive update she's a real fighter and god is helping her to heal fully.

 

[Palmetto Pimp]

It was hard for me to read this thread and the updates...cant imagine actually going through it!!!
You, your daughter, your fam are very strong.
My 9 yr old daughter is looking at me and wondering why I am crying. Im glad your daughters friends did what they did. Time heals all

Cris,

I'm glad to hear she is recovering. Makes me feel a lot better. Those doctors are miracle workers and I'm sure they'll do their best. I got your text and if you want to vent or need to talk give me a call. I'm wishing for a speedy recovery and your family and daughter is in our prayers.

I come in here everyday to check this thread out hoping to hear some positive news. Even though I don't know you, this is on my mind daily. Here's to hoping he gets punished beyond belief....

likewise...this thread has given me chills on numerous occasions...I've been pulling for your daughter... best of luck to you both

 

[Dr Feelgood]

I also have stumbled upon this thread for the first time and want to send my thoughts and prayers as well...this is a sickening tale and with two daughters of my own (one which is now pregnant) I could never imagine something like this happening, but it is all too real. You never think it can happen to you....

simply distraught reading this...

 

[Irish]

FDC,
Glad to hear the update is positive. Thoughts and prayers to your family and especially your daughter. I cannot image...

Thank you for taking the time to update.

I worked with corrections for many years and regardless of his sentence he is pretty much a dead man walking! There is one thing even inmates can stand and they will serve justice on what he did if he makes it that far.

God bless

Cheers
Irish

Just got back in town and read this entire thread, I as everyone here can't believe what happened to your daughter.

I truly believe in the power of prayer and positive thinking and I know that all of us can and will make a difference for you and your daughter.

Take care my friend, stay strong and for now just channel everything to getting Kristyn well.

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.

You Helped,
FDC

wow, hope to hear more good news in the near future, the guy deserves the death penalty

 

[ces]

One of those that hasn't met you but feel like I know you and others here as I visit everyday.

Was absolutely sick to my stomach everyday I would come into this thread, but never shed a tear at this terrible news. Well, I just read your update and now find the tears flowing based on the positive news. Wonderful! Prayers for you and your family.

 

[Mjolnir]

Powerful stuff. Thanks and god bless.

I thought you might want to read this poem to your daughter:

i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

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
