Rachel's Neck

Just clearing up a rumor we have heard.

Rachel's neck was never broken. Her spinal cord and her spinal column (vertebrae) are in great condition. The injury was to an artery in her neck.

regarding rumors .... I sadly heard that the first day Mr. Garrison was asked to consider unhooking the life support... that Rachel wasn't responding. Please tell me this isn't true?

The first day, there was concern because Rachel was completely unresponsive and thought to be brain dead (no brain activity). How long did Mr. Garrison want to leave life-support on if there was no brain activity? After a couple of hours, the fear of being brain dead was dispelled, but the doctors thought she would be hooked to a breathing machine for months...
anyways...much progress has been made!! Prayer does amazing things!
