Allison Culpepper admitted for observation

After seeing seven doctors at Childrens Hospital last night, they decided not to do any surgery dispite her having a broken nose and eye socket.  All bones are in place and should heal on their own.  The eye exam revealed no abnormalities.  However she is still vomiting and they feel that is the result of a concusion.  They admitted her and plan to release her tonight or in the morning if the vomiting stops. She has a black eye and a scrape above her left eye, some scratches on her hands and leg but no cuts.  We noticed the natural color seemed to be coming back to her bruses already.  We attribut that to all the prayers that went up. Allison and her boyfriend were on his ATV with Allison driving.  She is inexperienced on an ATV but decided to tackle a mudhole.  When water came up on her she lost control and the ATV flipped causing her to come off hitting face first on the ground.  The ATV landed on the boyfriend but he was unhurt and able to get the ATV uprighted.  They were some distance from his home and he had the presence of mind to gather Allison, who was already up, and get her to help.  It took about an hour for an ambulance to arrive.  She was taken to Troy and the doctors there felt surgery might be needed, hence the transfer to Birmingham. Randall wishes to thank all of you who prayed for his family and hopefully they all are getting some needed rest in Allison's room.  She wasn't put in a room until around 6:45 this morning.

THANK YOU for the update! PRAISE the LORD! I am thankful, prayerful and thrilled to witness another wonderful blessing for Randall and his family.

Glenn and Brenda, thank you so much for the update.  We will continue to pray for Allison and the rest of the family as well.

Glenn and Brenda.. Thank You so much for being there for Allison, Torey and Randall. It is so great to have "family" who will stand by you at all times - worst of times or best of times. What a blessing you both are to the Culpepper Family!
