This is our 16th day of Jalin's Journey-
Jalin's first night out of the Trauma room was kinda Ok- There was alot of emotion, and jitters being in the room without constant care. They did not get to sleep until around 2 am. Jalin has had a pretty busy day so far. The doctors took 2 tubes out, she had her bath, xray's and she has had a temp. She has eaten very little but we are hoping her appetite will come. She still has 2 tubes in the top of her lungs and we are awaiting the results of the ct scan tommorow. Please pray that her lungs are clear enough and the tubes have done the trick. Oh we are Praying!
Right now Jalin is not up for any company, she is more alert and trying to sort all the pieces together of the wreck. She is having flashbacks of that terrible night. Lori and I are trying to help her with this. Thank you for your prayers.

Darryl and Lori,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the update on Jalin today. It is so thougtful that you let us know always how she is doing. We wait to hear. Know that we share every triumph and setback with you. My heart breaks that she is having such memories of the accident. I know Lori's hope was that she wouldn't. No one should have to remember that. We can fix the physical pain, but the pain from the memories is what is the hardest to help with. I know. I wish I could wipe it away. I pray for strenghth for ya'll. I pray strength for Jalin. I pray strength for all the girls. Tell Jalin we love her and keep fighting.
HI DARRYL, LORI, JALIN AND FAMILY, I JUST HEARD ABOUT JALIN AND WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. GOD IS GOOD AND WILL HEAL JALIN. IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, ANYTHING PLEASE CALL US. LOVE AND BEST WISHES

Jalin it is so good to hear how good your doing. I also heard that the nurse had to take your cell phone away. LOL!!!!! I know dealing with the wreck can be frightening, but God had a purpose for this and only he knows. We will understand one day when we can actually talk to him face to face. I am looking so foward to that day, aren't you? You have touched so many lives even mine. My love for the Lord has gotten so strong through this and I just want to shout it from the mountain top. There will be no more pain, aches, or being frighten. It will be glorious, and with so much beauty. Your lungs will overcome. Look at how far you've come. God is still holding your hand and he'll never let go.

ReplyDeleteHEY JALIN,
ReplyDeleteIts Lisa Poduska from Florida and we have quite a crew down here praying for you from where I work at! I work at a Sunglass Distribution company so guess what I'm sending your way??
We are praying fools down here!!
Love Forever
Great News! Have peace with knowing that Jalin doesn't need the monitors anymore. It is hard to give that up when you've spent every day - every minute looking at all the vitals. They would not take her off if they didn't feel that she would be okay w/out them. Have peace, keep the faith and stay strong.

Hello Bro. Darryl and Lori,
ReplyDeleteBrad told me about this Blog tonight and I am so thankful that I have a way to keep up with the progress of your precious daughter. I want you both to know that I have been praying for all of you. Even though I was thankful that the elecion turned out good for David, it was hard to even be happy knowing that you guys are hurting. In that I mean if your baby girl is hurting, as parents, you are also. I can't even imagine what you are going through, but know that you have so many people that love and care for you and are praying for things to get much better quickly. Please don't hesitate to call me if you need anything!

Bro. Darryl and Lori,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for taking the time to tell us about Jalin. The number of people that check this blog daily is a miracle within itself. If it is GOD's will to have jalin bring people to HIM, then I will say HE has succeeded. People from everywhere are watching and waiting and what a glorious day it will be when Jalin is once again home and they all come here to worship with her. GOD has worked this miracle and I just admire your strength and courage and your Faith. Thank you and GOD bless you and your family. Jessica, Derrick, Ashton and Colton Eason.

Dearest Jalin,
ReplyDeleteWe are home now, but we miss you so much. We will see you tomorrow night. Our prayer is that you have a peaceful night and you and Mom are able to rest. You need rest so much now.
I talked to Mom a little while ago and she said you were still restless and did not feel really well, so Dino said lets go back tonight, but I persuaded him to stay home tonight and go tomorrow night.
We really miss you, Mom, Dad and Jordan and Jessica. We will see you later. We love you so much baby and can't wait to see you.
Goodnight angel, get some peaceful sleep.
We continue to pray for your speedy recovery.

Dear Jalin,
ReplyDeleteHello! My name is Holly Benefield. You don't know me, but I know you through the school and my wonderful children: Chris, Tina, and Stephanie. We are keeping you and your family in our prayers. I just want to share a small part of my experience with you. At thirteen years old, I was in an awful car accident also. I had some head injuries and internal bleeding. I received two units of blood. I was in a coma for a week. I still have some problems due to the accident, but praise God I lived and have had three wonderful children and the best husband in the world. The Lord has truly blessed me as I know He will bless you. Yes I missed a lot of school during my recovery also. I was so embarrassed. My head was shaved on one side and I was wearing braces for my broken collar bone. Due to the brain damage I lost a lot of memory and had to go to a private Christian school until I could get back to the ninth grade level I was suppose to be at. It was a long, hard road but well worth it. I was headed down the wrong road before that accident. After that accident, I found God!!!!! What could be greater than that? It was not an easy road, but I look back now and I see that there was a purpose for all of it. It took that accident for me to learn about God!!!
Thank God for your parents!!!! I did not have that kind of support. Your Mom is incredible and so is your Dad. Tell them Thank you for the example they have set for all parents.
Mr. Jones,
You have really touched my son. He speaks so often about what a wonderfully TRUE man of God that you are. You have been such a blessing for so many people. Thank you for letting God use you and your family to serve him. Please keep the faith and I pray for yalls strength and Jalin's speedy recovery. I love you all and may God continue to bless your family in a mighty way.
Holly Benefield
Good Morning Jalin!!! I always like to see what everyone has written to you each morning and your Granny sent you the most heartfelt message last night. I'm praying right now that today is a day of renewal, rest, and progress. Do you feel loved? You should, there are so many out there praying for you, wishing they could do something specifically for you, wearing yellow bracelets that say "He Knows Her Name", wearing yellow ribbons, your name is on many church signs around town, everywhere I go people are asking about you, the kids in Word of Life are lifting you up in prayer, the school has had special prayer for you, and I'm sure there is so much more going on you'll never know. But you should know that God LOVES you, unconditionally, and His desire is to see you ministering to others in His name, glorifying the Son, leading others to Him - guess what - YOU ARE!!! Amazing how you can do so much in a broken state. We expect awesome things from you as evidently God plans to use you in an awesome way!! Rest sweet girl and know we are lifting you up to God for healing. We love you guys - Lisa K
ReplyDeleteWe're still praying for all of you and God is still listening. We love you, Mike, Amanda and Lynzee Turner

Hey Girl!
ReplyDeletePraise God the doctors are not going to do the surgery. We all know who the Great Physician is and in the future the doctors will be amazed that the pelvis & collarbone healed perfectly on their own.
Jalin you are such a miracle and God continues to amaze me as heals you and uses this horrorable attack of satan for His glory. So many lives have been changed and will continue to be changed through this.
As Ms Lori said, you have been such a trooper but I knew you would, you are so strong and determined in everything you do. Hang in there girl, God has amazing things in store for you. I LOVE YOU and will continue to pray without ceasing, Tina.
It is so wonderful to hear the great news of Jalin's improvement. Prayer is a wonderful thing because we serve an awesome God. You are always in our prayers and forever in our thoughts. We can't wait to see that beautiful smiling face.
ReplyDeleteLove you,
Rhonda and Barry Cason
Hey Jalin,
ReplyDeleteWe are sooo happy to hear about ur progress. What a very strong person you are. I read your blog everyday and GOD is in control! Today Alaina and T.J. was watching the wedding dvd and there you was with that beautiful voice singing "When you say nothing at all" I record you singing on my cell.
Our family still continues to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Pastor Darrly, Mrs.Lori and Jordan, we also ahve been praying for god to give you strenght. May god bless you all!
We love you all,
