Early Tuesday morning someone shot their parents and DeeDee, my neice, in their home.  The police arent' sure if it's a murder/suicide or intruder situation yet.  My sister and brother in law were dead when the cops got there but DeeDee (26) is fighting for her life with gun shot wounds to her head.  Both halves of her brain have been damaged.  But when I spoke to her, she opened her eyes and moved toward me repeatedly.  The nurse said that's just brain stem activity but I think otherwise. 

 

There's a slim chance she can pull through.  If she does well in the next 12 hours, they'll give her neurological tests and see.  If she doesn't pass those tests, they will assume she's brain dead.  We need a miracle here. 

 

Her brother needs mega prayer, Billy (23).  He was away at school at the time and catatonic now.  Not speaking to anyone.  DeeDee's boyfriend Brian (27) lived at the house too, and escaped running out of the house when he heard the gun shots calling the cops on his cell phone. 

 

Both the Spada family and the McGrath's are well known in the community and everyone is devastated.  Please pray for us as we deal with the autopsy reports, minister to DeeDee, Billy and Brian and deal with the funerals of their parents, Patty and William.

 

Thank so much everyone.

  • Praise God!  I pray for healing in every respect!
  • Thank you God you did it again!

  • Thank you so much Michelle.  We have a Christmas Miracle here!  The doctors did a ct scan today and her brain is functioning and there is FAR less damage than the original ct scan showed.  They're calling it a complete reversal!  She's expected to recover completely!  <3

    Thank you so much for being there!  And please continue to pray.  She will have her memory when she wakes up completely and remembering is going to be a very hard emotional road. Thank God her brother and boyfriend are alive to help her through it. 

    Also please keep our families in prayer - next week are the funerals for their parents.

    much love, Karen 

     

    And share the miracle!  She went from just brain stem activity to full recovery mode!  God is SO able!  :)

  • Praying for Dee Dee and for the McGrath and Spada family members. Truly devastating situation. Hoping comfort finds each of you as you deal with the aftermath. Prayer is what I can offer your families at this time. God bless all of your hearts.
