Update
Ray Lindsey's accident. This coming Saturday will be one month since Ray Lindsey, father of barrel racers Lindsey and Nicole, their mother is Becky, members of Tx 19, was involved in a one auto accident. He was pulling a flat bed trailer and while crosses a bridge, somehow high centered the guard rail wedging his trailer. His truck twisted off and he plunged several feet down below. The Drs. don't know exactly how long he was there before someone came along and found him. No one knows the details of this accident, since Ray was alone. He was careflighted to Harris Hospital in Fort Worth where is has layed in the Trauma center fighting for his life. He suffered severe head injuries and numerous other injuries. He has been in a coma since the accident, some of it induced by the Drs. to keep him comfortable while healing. He has had several surgeries and is on breathing support. On Monday, Sept. 27th, he was moved to a life care center on Bryan-Irving Street in Fort Worth for rehabilitation. If anyone can help this family in anyway, please contact a family friend named Rebecca at 817/477-2066. We will further update this prayer request as information is given to us. Thank you for your prayers.

GREAT NEWS TODAY

Some of you already know the good news but those of you that don't here goes. Ray is alert and talking some as of today. Becky called me this morning around 11:00 and told me that he started talking to her this morning when she arrived and he knows when you are talking to him, he looks at you and follows your movement. They held a newspaper up to him and he followed the headlines they said, so looks like he is on the mend. About eight of us went to see him at lunch and he looked at all of us and talked some. Becky ask that anyone that wants to see him come on up as that helps with his rehab. They are trying to see if they can have him moved to Baylor Trauma Center in Dallas maybe by weekend or early next week.

Again the address is:

LifeCare Hospital of Fort Worth

Ray's condition has dramatically improved. He has regained consciousness, is eating, talking, recognizes family, friends and coworkers, responds to requests, and remembers prior to and after his accident. I just spoke with a family friend, Becky and she said Ray walked with help yesterday!

Ray has been transferred to the Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation (BIR) in Dallas, where he is participating in their Traumatic Brain Injury Program. BIR is considered to be one of the best rehabilitation hospitals in the U.S. Since Ray will be getting about six hours of therapy per day, you may want to consider limiting your visits to evenings or weekends. Visiting hours are from 8am to 9pm. The institute is located at 3505 Gaston Avenue in Dallas and the phone number is 214-820-9300.

The family still needs help financially and with food and yard work, etc. Financial donations can be made payable to Alcon Credit Union - Raymie Lindsey with a note that it is for Raymie or Rebecca Lindsey account and sent to: Alcon Credit Union Q-138, 6201 S. Freeway, Ft. Worth, Texas 76134. For information on helping with food, yard work, etc - contact Rebecca Raider at 817-477-2066.

And of course prayers, prayers and more prayers are encouraged and appreciated!
