I saw this post from the Aviator coaches on facebook. Everyone, please take a moment and pray for this sweet girl and her family!!!! The power of prayer is a wonderful thing!
********************************************************************************************
For those of you that aren't aware one of our athletes had to be rushed to the hospital tonight. She was completely fine one minute and then the next she was pale, dizzy, a had a horrible headache. Her condition declined quickly. After going to Gaston Memorial she was flown to Levine Children's hospital and rushed into emergency surgery to drain the fluid on her brain. After surgery they were able to get a CT scan to see what was causing the bleeding in her brain. They will hopefully be able to find out more information tomorrow. The doctors believe this could be something that Mackenzie has had her entire life but has never presented any symptoms until tonight.
Please pray for the entire Truss family!! Her twin Jordan is being very strong for her sister but needs encouragement from all her family and friends! Since this was such a sudden event the Truss family is still trying to process such a crazy situation. They have already received all of your text messages and appreciate the love and support they have been shown! Like any parents they are overwhelmed that their sweet little girl was fine one moment and in brain surgery the next without any notable reason.
As for now they have asked that we update you all because there is no way they are able to respond to the outpouring of support. We are going to be in contact with them to through out the coming days and will be posting on our Aviator FB page to help keep everyone informed. As for right now pray for strength for Joni & Art (Mom & Dad), and for her three sisters! Pray for knowledge and wisdom for the doctors and nurses as well as a gentle touch as they work endlessly to help Mackenzie. Mackenzie is currently sedated so that she can use all of her strength to help heal whatever is causing the bleeding in her brain. Please pray for God to give her little body the strength to fight and the comfort to know the love and support she has.
Currently the only thing we can do is pray!! As soon as we know more we promise to update you as soon as possible!!! We NEED our Aviator Family more than ever right now!!!!
Love,
Ashley & Keith
