October 19 Update
Hello friends, I have decided to post about my husband’s accident on my page because I have always tried to be transparent with you. Honestly, we could use the prayers. I am going to share a post that I made on my personal page in hopes that you can pray for David as well as his children, family, friends, and myself, and his community.
Update on David ![]()
As David’s condition was worsening quickly, the kids and I requested a transfer based on medical necessity so he could receive the higher level of care he needed.
That process began Saturday evening, and by Sunday midmorning, he had been accepted by a hospital in Dallas. He arrived around 7:30 last night. His new ICU team spent the next couple of hours getting him settled, and at 10:15, I was finally able to be by his side again.
Before leaving Texarkana, his care required medication to temporarily paralyze his muscles. That medication is now beginning to wear off, but he remains on the ventilator and heavily sedated.
His team continued testing throughout the night, with more tests today, while also giving his body time to rest. They plan to begin tube feeding this evening and are closely monitoring his pulmonary contusions—bruising of his lungs—and a kidney injury, along with his brain bleeds, broken ribs, and spinal fractures.
There is still a lot we are waiting to learn, but I am remaining positive and feeling very hopeful. David has a whole team of doctors and specialists caring for him—and all of you prayer warriors lifting him up.
Please continue praying for healing, rest, and wisdom for his medical team. Thank you for loving us and walking through this with our family. Your prayers and support mean more than I can put into words.
