Thank you everyone for all your prayers God has been listening My nephew had a good day he is starting to feel better and we have so much to be thankful for.
Thank you with all my heart for the prayers. :))))
I was one those persons who was wearing my seatbelt before it was the law . I couldn't agree with you more on safety and operating any type of vehicle with or without a motor . I am happy your nephew will be fine . Peace Jimmy

When sending love and good thoughts out to you and your mom, I'll include your nephew in my meditations and prayers. May your hope and strength prevail, Valla con Dios!!!
Thank You everyone for your prayers My Heart has been in my throat since the accident. Its truly a miracle and yes please everyone Put your foot down with your kids Make this a requirement to them No discussion It can save their life I promise you and please get the right kind of helmet make sure its not to small and fits properly.
I have been telling this to anyone who will listen, I Thank all of you and Please remember my story.
God Bless you
Great post Conhall!!! I have seen first hand experience of how devastating the injuries can be to kids who DONT wear helmets!! Injuries to their poor brains that should have never happend. It so sad. We need to bring so much more awareness to this because Helmets really do make all the difference in how someones quality of life is going to be, assuming they even survive the injury!
My Nephew whos 13 got so mad at me the other day actually because I made him wear his helmet. His response was "None of the kids my age wear them and They are going to tease me and laugh at me" So my response to him was simple " I would rather they tease you now while you are healthy, alive and vibrant then to tease you because you have a brain injury and lying in bed for the rest of your life unable to do anything for yourself" He didnt give me another second of grief over it and put the helmet on!
Thank you for this post and for trying to spread more awareness!! :) And im so happy your nephew is going to be ok!!
Thank you so much for sharing this story. My son always wears a helmet..but after this story I'm definitely reconsidering buying him a nicer one. I am so sorry about your nephew. I hope everything goes well with his surgeries. We will all be praying for him. Keep us posted! And I think I will remember this story every time i take my kid out to ride his bike!
Wow what an incredible story. Thank you so much for sharing! My daughter has just begun to ride her bicycle and I'm very pro-helmet and this just reinforces my reasoning.
I will keep your nephew (and you) in my prayers for a speedy recovery.
Thanks, Conhall for sharing with us. It's amazing he is alive and recovering. Miracles DO still happen.
The seeds you planted by your post on helmets/quality/safety will prove to be invaluable for someone.....thank you for sharing that with us during this horrendously difficult time.
How are YOU holding up thru this? We're almost to our 4 month milestone! You hangin? I hope so......
Blessings to you~
