Prayers for Hulcy Family

Many of you know of Jessica Hulcy (founder of KONOS homeschool curriculum). She was in an accident yesterday and I'm helping get the word out so people will pray for her. Her husband is Wade and they have four sons that have all been homeschooled. She is a sweet and encouraging lady who's brought so much to the homeschool community.

From one of her sons last night:

Jessica's Ford Explorer was broadsided in Melissa, TX about 11:30 on Monday morning. We think she was hit by a volunteer fire truck responding to an accident. After a 25 minute extrication process she was Life Flighted as a level 1 (the most severe) trauma case to Parkland Hospital in Dallas.

She is still in critical condition. Here is what we know so far:

1. She is still unconscious but is moving all four limbs and attempting to pull the tubes out of her throat which is encouraging to the doctors.

2. Major Lung trauma, punctures to both lungs. Both were collapsed. One is now working well and they are still draining the other. Doctors are checking for possible damage to wind pipe and trachea.

3. Head trauma. Medium amounts of blood on the brain. Closely monitoring this to see if it improves. Surgery not necessary now, but possible to come.

4. As of now multiple broken ribs on both sides, broken left wrist, broken left arm in 2 places. Will require surgery. Possible broken left leg and right wrist. She has undergone 4 hrs of X-rays, over 1000 X-rays taken so far. They are working the broken bones in the order of most life threatening so there is a possibility of more discovery of broken bones.

Most recent update this morning:

I spoke with Wade a few minutes ago. There is no change in Jessica's status since the report last night. The doctors are waiting for her to wake up. Wade asks that we pray for her mental/brain status.

Thank you for your prayers.
