“…My Dad, Oscar Mccoy, 55, I think but his back is fractured his spleen is cut got some internal bleeding he’s in ICU.
My baby brother, Matthew McCoy is 12, he’s in the PICU he has staples in his head some bleeding on his brain that’s being monitored both eye sockets and his jaw and nose are all broken, they aren’t sure about his vision, he’s on a vent and they plan to keep him on it and sedated for a while. My mom, Bobbie McCoy is still waiting for her scan and X-ray results on her head and neck but her leg is shattered and she is in surgery to put rods in it now. She has some cuts and a concussion….
Vina asked the community to “Please pray for this family and keep them in your hearts.”
