Hometown Tragedy

Today I'm going to post about something that has really affected my hometown, Byron Center, MI. About two weeks ago on Labor day morning five people from my High School got in a very serious car accident. Three of them were left with some cuts and bruises but the other two were left in critical condition.  One of the two people left in critical condition had slight bleeding of the brain, and had broken or fractured every bone in his face. Thankfully, with surgery he has been released from the hospital this past Saturday and is recovering. But unfortunately that was not the same for the other person left in critical condition, she had serious brain damage and wasn't likely to recover. Last week there was signs of hope, she started moving her feet, clenching her fits, and even making some sounds.. But sadly MRI results told us that her brain was deteriorating and wasn't likely to recover any further than she had already.  This was all hard for us to hear because this girl was loved by SO many people, nobody ever had bad things to say about her. And as of yesterday I got news from a friend that she had passed away last night. I would have never thought that this would ever happen, that someone so young who I went to high school with would be gone. If your reading this, please pray for her family and her friends for the strength to get through this hard time, they all need it. R.I.P Caitlin ♥
