My 8 year old nephew killed by drunk driverr

Hi everyone,
I was awakend at 4am this morning that my 8 year old nephew was killed in a car accident at 11:30 Saturday night and they are not sure his 10 year old brother is going to make it.
The family was t-boned by a drunken driver and it caused there van to roll over and land on its roof. All 3 kids were asleep at the time so he never suffer'd as it was instant for him. My sister inlaw broke her ankle and the one that is hospitalized has many broken ribs and internal damage.
Of course the drunk had minor injuries and lucky for her MI just increased the penalty for drunk driving and she will go to a state prison.
I would like those who pray to pray for the family and especially for Caleb as he lies in the hospital clinging on to life.
This really tears me up as years ago I lost 2 nephews and a brother inlaw on Christmas eve in an auto accident. I also was hit by a drunken driver in 97 and have problems from it to this day and that is what got me my first MRI and the words MS.
The stress of this and the fever I've been battling is bringing on the MS symptoms hard and fast and all I can do is to pray and pray hard. I hope that many of you will join me in prayer for Caleb that he pulls through and for some inner peace for the rest of the family as his Dad has not been able to stop crying as those boys meant the world to him

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I too, will keep little Caleb, and the rest of his family in my thoughts and Prayers. I am so sorry that this tragedy has happened to your family. Know that you will be in my thoughts as well .
Take care, Hugs, Cathy

I'm very sorry for you and your family! This just isn't fair, your family has been thru a lot already! You and your family will be in all of my prayers, I'm sure everyone is really pulling for Caleb!

My heart broke when I read your post, I am filled with sorrow and rage that this happened. Drunk drivers who kill should be treated as the murderers they are. I will of course pray for little Caleb and the family and ask God for a speedy recovery for Caleb. May your nephew rest in peace.
As Ichoppel and Atmhurley said, you need to be mindful of yourself and somehow not let the stress from this put you in an even worst place than you already are. Easy to say, I know but please try Dave, we need you to take care of you.
Hugs my friend.
