We have two very tragic stories to tell today from a very good man Gary Wells
He’s struggling with the losses of two of the most important people in his life. The first story we are going to share is about his daughter who recently passed away. Please feel free to share this story or comment with any positive words or advice or just your condolences if you’d like. We all need to start speaking up more and be a big support for people like Gary. There’s nothing more emotionally crippling than the loss of your child.
This is the story of Majesty, a daughter who had a traumatic brain injury.
“how did it happen? on May 16,2022 Majesty and 2 of her sister was going to ride there bicycle to the move store there was a long hill not far from our house Majesty was not that good on a bicycle so my 2 girls got to the bottom of the hill waiting for majesty, she was conning down fast and what happen next we are not sure, majesty was yelling something we think the bicycle broke and she could not steer she hit the side walk and flew about15 feet in the air she came down on a big rock in someones yard.(this is where it gets hard for me) she had a hole about 5in around on the right side of her head, my yours daughter call me on her cell phone, I was just getting in the shower I got dress and come down in the car where them were I ran over to majesty and she had her hand in her head pulling out some of her brains I move and held her hand and clear out her mouth and the ambulance got there and loaded her into the ambulance I got in with her the man kept saying I have no pulse I didn't think she was going to make it they took her in the hospital, my wife and 2 girls got there our pastor and some people from the church got there they came in 3 more time in the next 4 or 5 hours and said she was not going to make the Doctor happen to be a friend of mind they work on her for about 8 hours (seem like days) they got her I icu and she was in icu about 3 or 4 days. WHAT WAS THE DIAGNOSIS?( I need to stop and cry) ok the doctor came in the room we was in and said Majesty lost a lot of her brains and what she did not lose was with oxygen and a lot of lost so we was in icu about 4 0r 4 days. they done many sugary on her the but a feeding tub in she was in the hospital about 14 days, they said they done all they could do they did not think she would live very long she was in a coma and never open her eyes for about a year. WHAT WAS IT LIKE CARING FOR HER. We fead her 3 time a day for the next about 16 years, we had to do ever thing for her we change her 4 on 5 times a day, we would give her a bath in bed after about 2 years she open her eyes so now she is they say Simi coma, they said she could not do any thing and she didn't know anything. she was just on a feeding tub. some days it look like she would follow you with her eyes we got her a better bed after about 2 years, and we would read to her and sing to her we just the family took care of her th hole time we where all very tired but we did not give up. I remember about 3 years before she past I new my wife her mother had Alzheimers I got on her be and lay by her and talk in her ear I told her that her mom was sick and hugged her and I look at her and she dad tiears in her eyes so I think she new more than we knew. we got so pay from d h s and some supplies we had non help just our family I could not have done it with out my girls.
