The Beginning - 10/29/2008

6:30 or 6:40 pm - Jalin was on the way to the Dexter play at Cornerstone. She was with Kaydra, Kristen, Amy L., and Morgan in Kaydra's mom's Tahoe. They flipped the car and landed down a hill in a yard on the right in Trickum Valley (past Blake Bivins).

The car was on Jalin and Bro. Jerome and others lifted it off her and pulled her out. She was taken by ambulance to Tanner. The other girls had minor injuries. CT scans there revealved broken pelvis in two places, broken ribs, collapsed lung, cspine (2 bones). No internal injuries in her stomach.

She was airlifted to UAB around 9:30 - 10:00. When we got there, more CT scans were ran. She has broken pelvis, broken collarbone, ribs 1-2 on both sides broken, collapsed lung. She has a breathing tube, 2 chest tubes, cath in wrist, cath in bladder, tube in her nose going into her stomach, line in her groin, IV's in her arms.

Bless your heart and body and mind Jalin. God has a plan for you and this will be part of your testimony for Him and of His Grace. You look so broken in body, but I know you are strong in spirit. We are here for you each step and God will walk us through this together arm in arm with him!

So many people are here and 100's were at Tanner for you.

You are in room 18 on the 9th floor at UAB in the TBICU.

You are very loved and blessed. You are victorious through our Lord Jesus Christ.

We love you baby!

Marc Merritt prayed with us too. A man testified to Jordan and I that you were going to be ok. Satan meant you harm tonight, but God is greater! He is the great physician that is healing you.

We got to see you two times last night. Once when they took you to TBICU from ER. Then about 6:00 we saw you when you were settled into your ICU room 9515. You are really hurt honey. Your trauma to the pelvis and your lungs are the worst. Probably 30 - 40 people came to UAB Ashleigh and Robbie McManus spent the night.
