Prayer request

[Herrsss]

Dear Viper Owners,

It is with a very heavy heart that we are writing this note to ask that each of you keep club member Mike Quinnett's nephew Michael Feguson and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Michael was involved in a high speed rollover accident early this morning in his uncle's convertible SRT-10; is in critical condition and in surgery as we write this post.

Thank you for your observance of this request as you can imagine the family is devastated right now.

Please be aware those of you with convertibles that are "as delivered" have no rollover protection but that can be added via steel roll hoop replacements or a full roll bar.

Sincerely,

Houston Viper Club

Just got the following update from Mike:

Dear Viper Club,
I am writing to inform everyone that the prayers have helped. Chip is still with us !!!! The hospital has him in and out of the drug induced coma only to slowly bring him back to life, as he has suffered major head trauma, broken left arm, right eye injury, broken nose, broken right hand and not sure exactly what else at the present time. Thank you all for your prayers and will give an update ASAP.

Again Thanks,

Regards,
Mike Quinnett

I just got the following from Sonya Quinnett:

First of all, I just wanted to express our gratitude for sharing our personal situation, which has had us emotionally distressed, as we await the progress of our nephew Chip. The amount of prayers and support that have been sent to us, have been a blessing in so many different ways already.

Just to give you an update on Chip, he is still in ICU in critical condition, but has had some improvement daily with his response testing from the Memorial Hermann’s Trauma Team. He’s most certainly not in the clear as of yet, but the stability he so strongly fights to maintain, is truly inspirational and uplifting. At this time, Chip has had no additional swelling to his brain, but still remains in an induced coma, as we are still learning more at this time of his other injuries to his body. We are hopeful that he will continue to fight strong for his recovery and quality of life, as he is not fighting this fight alone.

Again, I cannot express the blessings that you all have bestowed upon us and how very grateful we are.

I will send more updates as I have them.

Graciously Blessed by All,

Sonya & Mike Quinnett and Family

[Mike Q]

Dear members and friends,

Just wanted to say thank you for all of your support. Michael is still in ICU and has been slowly brought In/out of the induced coma as they need the brain to heal before moving forward. He has sustained several injuries, but until the brain is functioning properly and the movement of the body is controlled by him, correcting the other broken bones/injuries are on hold. Just wanted to clarify a few things. Yes, the car was taken by my nephew Michael/Driver without permission, my brother Daryl/Owner and the uncle of Michael was out of state when this horrific news was relayed to him as you could only imagine the devastation he endured during his 7 hour travel to the hospital. Please keep Michael Ferguson and his family in your prayers and I will give an update as he progresses. Thanks to All.

Thank you Houston members as you guys are like family to us, Richard & Beth, Troy & Cindy, Andy, Paul, Edgar and so many more. Thank you

Thanks Andy for your concern and all is understood..

[FLATOUT]

We care about you guys, all of you.

[Slithr]

Prayers and well wishes for a full recovery .... sending daily.

[Venomous1 Racing]

Prayers still headed yalls way.

Members/Friends

My apologies for the delay in updating the forum. Chip is presently still in the hospital but making great progress. He's been up and walking a few times, with the helmet and w/ nurses help. He has not lost his memory, Thank GOD !! Also, has full function of all limbs and eating on his own, and talking as much as possible. He unfortunately does have right eye damage, not sure yet but a good possibility he will loose all vision in that eye. Also, no right bone flap for the next couple months. Its going to be a rough and long recovery but that's ok, he has a lot of family to help see him through it. Thank all of you so much for your support and prayers. GOD BLESS

[Viper Girl]

Glad to read he is making so much progress! Continued prayers to Chip

[whitebeard]

Continued prayers for his successful recovery. All the best to you all during this time.

[FLATOUT]

Thanks for the Update Mike! Glad to hear things are moving forward with his recovery. Keep us in the loop!

[Viper Bill]

Great to hear such progress Mike! Prayers and best wishes to Chip and the rest of yall's family...

[RPM9000]

Thanks for the update Mike. I will continue to send prayers your way.

[bluesrt]

that's awesome......great to hear that

[Dusty1]

Great news Mike, it sounds like he has come a long way but has miles to go yet. We will continue to keep him and your family in our prayers.

Richard

[Leslie]

Omg, prayer DOES work! I am so happy for him!

[Mike Q]

Hello friends

My apologies for the delay in my reply and not keeping all you guys up to date with the progress of my nephew Chip. I'll try to make it short. He went in last week and had the bone flap put back in (right side skull) as it was very much needed due to the pressure of the scalp lying on the brain had caused him to loose use of his left hand and the left leg was starting to act up as well. Now, not even a full week later he can move his fingers a little and seems to walk without a limp. he still suffers from some loss of hearing, also vision of the right eye has yet to come back. With all that said, it's still truly a miracle that he has made it through all of it, although, It's not anywhere close to being over though for Chip but does seem to be moving forward in the right direction, majority of the time. Thankfully... Thank all of you for your continued support and prayers and will give an update as soon as possible. Thanks again !!!!!

[FLATOUT]

Thanks so much for the update Mike! Pulling for Chip and I would really like to plan some sort of event with him involved when he is feeling up to it.

[Herrsss]

Thanks Mike, I'm thrilled to hear he is making progress albeit slow but as they say slow and steady wins the race . . . not sure if that's true most of the time but I think it is certainly applicable in Chip's case.

I agree with Andy - we'd love to include him in an event when he's up to it.

Beth

[daveg]

That's great news!!!!

[FrgMstr]

Glad Chip is doing better. Just had a buddy go through hell with a severe head injury in his family. Not an easy thing.

All this did get me prompted to buy an Autoform roll bar for my vert.

[BlknBlu]

Great news for sure.

Mike:
