My EXTREMELY close friend, Steven Fuller was hit by a semi two nights ago. They don't know yet if it is a life or death situation. They say that he is currently non responsive.

Steve means the world to me and I don't want to experience life without him. I am in pieces now, but I know I have to be strong for him. Any prayers for Steve's recovery will be greatly appriciated. Please prayer for me to be strong for him too.

Thanks and God Bless

Jacob

Let us pray :
Father God you spoke in Isaiah 43.26 to remind you of your words , to state them before you and walk them out by faith . Father you wrote in Psalm 118.5 that if we cry out to you , you will hear and answer us ; you said in Matthew 5 that those who sow in tears will reap in joy ;

Father you said Abraham spoke to that which was not , as if it were .

Father we pray your will , and believe your will is healing , restoration , deliverance , as you did with Lazarus , that your name might be glorified in the work of you hand . We thank you for intervening on behalf of Steven Fuller and his family , in Jesus' name ,

amen .

Just an update. Steve is stabilized but in a coma. I was able to hold his hand and he caressed my fingers a little bit. He was responding to me... when he kept trynig to wake up and get up, I hold his hand and tell him to relax and he does. I have to get up to Madison now but I appreciate all of your prayers.


Love and hugs

Jacob

Jacob -

I will pray for your friend, his family, and you.

As you know, I work with hurt people on a frequent basis; I have seen people recover from situations that certainly wouldn't be possible without God's help. And, of course, you yourself have experienced God's grace in the past... so, never lose hope.

May the peace of Christ be with you, Steven, and his family.

I spent the entire weekend with Steve, holding his hand and talking to him. The nurse let me stay all Saturday night, even though it was against the rules. Problem was, since I did not get any food or sleep, I ended having a severe anxiety attack and had to be sedated. Steve contracted pneumonia and I panicked.

As far as his condition, he responds to me when I talk to him. He is trying to break free from the coma but his body won't let him because it's still healing. He still caressed my thumb and whenever he hears my name, he tries to lift himself off the bed. I seem to be the only one he will respond to, though. Unfortunately, the nurses told me I had to stay away because they were scared that I was close to hospitilization for my anxiety. They told me to go home and be rested because he would need me after he recovers.

THere is more I want to say but I am on my old comuter. I will update later with more infor,

Peace and love

Jacob

Okay, I am on a more reliable computer now so I can let you all know a little more about what is going on with Steve's situation. I spent a whole lot of time around him over the weekend and had a very nice time. I guess that I should have eaten more, but that's easier said then done. But, progress has been made. I am putting in for FMLA because of my obsessive compulsive disorder. It has gotten worse since Steve's incident and I do not think I would be able to work for a little while. I need some resolution first.

I am going to Madison in a few days to shack up with a couple of Steven's friends. They came in to visit and could tell the large amount of pain that I was in. So, they offered to let me stay with them so I could make more frequent hospital visits. So, I made sure I had enough money to pay my bills for a couple months and my psychiatrist said she would sign the papers for the LO. So, after talking to my priest on Wednesday, I will be off to WI.

A lot of people think I am being rash here. I dunno. When you care about someone and are worried about them, shouldn't you do whatever you can to try and help them get better?

Anyhow, I hope to have internet access there so I can keep everyone updated. Currently, he seems to be doing all right. I hope he gets better and can wake up. Your prayers are all appreciated.

Love
Jacob

I am so sorry that this happened to Steve and for the anxiety that you are experiencing. Praying for Steve's restoration and health to return. It seems that he just may come out of this since he is responsive. Reassure him that everything will be okay and to concentrate on healing.

Dig into the word to help sustain and strenghten you - and read some to Steve when you visit. Read for him words of comfort and strength so that he can draw from that.

Praying for your peace of mind.

Please keep us posted on his progress!

luvjc

Thank you everyone for your prayers. Here is a little update on Steven. He is no longer in a coma. He opened his eyes on Wednesday. He was still pretty sedated so we don't think he realized he was in a car wreck until Thursday. He started crying at that point. Currently, he doesn't respond to anyone but me. He lays there with his eyes open most of the day and tried to avoid looking at anyone. But when the doctor's or his friends talk to him, he generally just lays there. However, he does respond to me which the nurses say is a good sign. I tell him the story of how we met, but that made him cry so I stopped. When I cry, he squeezes my hand. . He grabbed my head and tried lifting his up to mine. And he keeps trying to tell me something. It sounds like "I love you" but I don't know for sure. Maybe I am just hoping.

Right now, I am in a bit of a struggle with his family. They don't seem too keen on me visiting him or spending time alone with him. Luckily, his aunt is on my side and she is fighting for me on Steven's behalf.

I don't know what to do, but pray and pray. I need him to be able to talk for himself so he can tell people he wants me around. But, even he doesn't, I just want him to get better.

Thanks for your love and prayers, all. I appreciate more than you could possibly imagine.

Love,

Jacob

Well Jacob that's great news! :pray:
Sorry your having some problems with your friends family right now, but im sure in time thses things will sort themselves out. A time like this is so trumatic that people cope in different ways, and to be honsest , it must be hard on them for you to be the one Steve seems to respond to when they must want it to be them. The great news is that your friend is getting better, and im sure everyone will still continue to pray hard over these next few months. God bless, tell Steve were all supporting him. x
