Please pray for the Koetsiers

Please pray for the Koetsier family. Tommy (9th grade) and Samantha (12th grade), both at CVC, were in a serious auto accident last night. Here's what was on our church's prayer chain:

Here is a recent update regarding the accident:
After being in a car accident early this evening, Samantha & Tommy Koetsier were both brought to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno.

Samantha is doing well, though she has an injured spleen and broken ribs, as well as possible air in her lung cavity. Her vital signs are good.

Tommy has suffered a fractured skull and has some bleeding in his brain. He will undergo a 3 hour surgery, beginning at about 9:00 p.m., to repair the fracture, relieve pressure and remove blood from his brain. Doctors have said there is a possibility that he will suffer some injury to his brain.

Please be in prayer for Samantha's healing, for the complete success of Tommy's surgery tonight and that no long-term damage will result. Hold up Tom & Jackie, and the extended family, in prayer during this difficult time also.

Tom (their father) worked with Charlie and Kevin on a real estate deal recently, and Tommy was a student in my library 3 years ago. He is such a neat kid. PRAY PRAY PRAY that Tommy comes out of this without any long term injuries and for strength for his parents. Say a prayer for them as you read this...
