Heavy heart

My heart is sad.
Sunday afternoon I was preparing to prep some cakes I am doing this week. I had just put the girls down for nap, and was so excited for them to wake up because I was going to take them to their (and mine) first ever "trunk or treat" night.
Then I got the text: Avery got in a bad wreck, she is on life support, and her boyfriend who was in the wreck with her didn't make it.
Not something you want to read.

Who is Avery? Avery was a girl I was discipling when she was in high school. Four years ago or so I was serving in the high school room and when I met her when she was 14, almost 15. She came to Jeremy broken & hurting & needing help, and so after he prayed with her he suggested she talk with me. So we met & there was an instant connection. So that is where our journey started, and we walked though a lot together. About 6months into our friendship she accepted Christ. I was so excited for her & the possibilities that were in front of her. I poured my heart into her. We hung out together, we did life, we did Bible study, and we even talked about how to combat what was to come. Sophomore & Junior year in high school...those dreaded years. Like with me, the pressures of high school life took over until slowly & slowly she pulled away. We got together about two years ago, but after that it was just a text every 6 months or so. I saw her about 9 months ago at her job. It was just a quick hello, but it was still my Avery.

So after getting the text I immediately canceled all other plans & headed up to UVA with a few others. I don't know what the plan was when we got there. I did expect to get to see her I suppose...but as we arrived they restricted all but close family to see her. I should not be surprised, but I was really sad. I just wanted to see her, hold her hand, and tell her I was here for here, and most importantly God was too.
I'm not going to sugar coat this...she is not expected to make it. She was thrown 70 feet from the car, crushed pelvis, ruptured spleen, liver was severed, and there was bleeding in her brain. She was taken to emergency surgery this morning at 5am because the inter cranial pressure spiked & they had to relieve it. Doctors said to prepare, as there is a chance she might not make it.
(Just got an update)
Avery made it though surgery, they had some problems ventilating her, but she made it & will be back in her room in an hour or so.

I don't even know how what to say. I don't know how to pray, I just know my heart is sad & breaking. For her, for her family, and for her boyfriends family. You just never picture things like this happening, and then when they do its just like you stand back & let the chips fall as they may. Above all else, God is still God & he still reigns on high. He is alive & active and in this...what ever outcome.

Please pray with me that His will be done.
Thank you.

Campbell Co., VA - State Police say a wreck Saturday night in the 700 block of Candlers Mountain Road in Campbell County killed a man and severely injured a woman. They say the wreck happened just before 9 p.m.

Neighbors say this area of Candlers Mountain Road is known for accidents, the man who lives on the property where the accident occurred, says in the 11 years he's lived there, he has seen 11 accidents. But he says none were as tragic as the one last night.
"After they hit the Pine tree and took that down, it disintegrated the vehicle," said John Jenkins, who heard the wreck happen in front of his house.
Jenkins says the sounds he heard were terrifying, as the car wrecked in his front yard.
"We went down and started checking the area to see if anybody was hurt, and we found one person thrown out and we were trying to take care of her," said Jenkins.
That person was 19-year-old Susan Avery Campbell. She was airlifted from a nearby field, and is currently undergoing treatment at UVA Medical Center.
Once Campbell was found, Jenkins and his wife, Sharon, say they helped officials look for her personal belongings. That's when they found 21-year-old Chad Marlowe.
"We started looking for her pocketbook, and that's when me and my daughter's boyfriend ran into him," said Sharon Jenkins.
State Police say Marlowe died at the scene; they say neither was wearing a seat belt.
"And then to know he was a friend of my sons' I mean, he has been to my house several times and he had a lot of friends," said Sharon Jenkins.
Darlene Hensley knew Marlowe from high school. They both went to Heritage High School.
"He made everybody smile, all of his friends loved him because he was always fun loving and care free," said Hensley.
As for Jenkins, he just wishes people driving in the neighborhood, would be more careful.
"The big thing here is everybody out there please wear your seatbelt, we've had that helicopter land in the field way too many times," said John Jenkins.
State police aren't saying whether or not speed was a factor in this wreck, but neighbors do say that the speed limit on this road was recently lowered from 55 miles per hour to 45.
The crash is under investigation.
