On the Abbie/Nolan Topic

HappyHappyJoyJoy wrote: I am new to this board and this is actually my first post, but I have been lurking for a few days trying to decide whether or not to post on this topic.

Three years ago, my little brother (age 13) was hit by his school bus in front of his house. He suffered liver and kidney lacerations and lost his spleen and one kidney. He also broke several bones. The things Abbie and others have posted about the way Nolan is reacting to people sounds EXACTLY like the way my brother was behaving in the hospital.

I know it's not the same situation and that Nolan is very ill, but I just wanted to let Abbie and everyone else know that my brother recovered completely. In fact he is taking driving lessons now and playing tennis and lacrosse this summer. I just wanted to offer that up as a little hope to anyone who might read this.

I truly believe with my WHOLE heart that it was the prayers of many many people that were thinking of and going to God with my brother's name that healed him, so everyone keep praying...don't stop.

And Abbie, if you read this, I know you don't know me or vice versa, but I am not going to stop praying until you tell me that your brother is sitting up, eating doritos and complaining about the nurses.

Take Care.
