> Subject: Prayer Request

> I am requesting prayer for my nephew, Justin Cochran (he is 22 years
> old).  He is the son of my oldest brother, Mike Cochran.  Over the
> Thanksgiving holiday weekend, our family was gathered in Barren River
> Park, Kentucky for a family reunion.   Justin was seriously hurt while
> attempting to do a standing back flip.  He broke his neck at the top two
> vertebrae (C-1 and C-2) and was care flighted to Nashville, TN at
> Vanderbilt hospital.  He is completely paralyzed from the neck down and
> on complete life support.  We are told it is rare to even live through
> an injury of this nature as the break usually severs the spinal cord and
> blood flow to the brain is stopped resulting in instant death.  His
> break went outward, the spinal cord was not severed.  The doctors are
> telling us he as a chance of recovery anywhere from 0% to 100%.  All
> depends on extent of damage to spinal cord - there was some blood found
> in spinal cord which indicates some damage.  He is not covered by any
> insurance.  Today they are moving the respirator to tracheotomy, moving
> permanent feeding tube to lower abdomen and putting in a line filter
> into lower main artery to help prevent pooling of blood and clots.
> Please pray for healing and the family.  We also are looking for rehab
> placement for him as he is at Vanderbilt hospital and they do not
> provide for those services.  Please send this email on to any prayer
> lists.  Thank you...Marty
