Hungarian Midget Woman
  
Location: Midwest | Friends and family of Amy Hawker, a barrel racer from IL, are requesting prayers for her and her family. She was critically injured in a barrel racing accident at Gordyville in Gifford, IL last night. I have seen a lot of people requesting prayers on FB and thought I would share with you all here. She suffered severe head trauma and has swelling of the brain. She's in the ICU.
I know who she is, but I don't know her personally. I am sure some of you on here know her and would like to pray for her. If they could share updates, that would be great. And I think there is a prayers list here somewhere, perhaps she could be added to it. Please see RLB's post for an update.
ETA: Update as of 12/3. Amy was taken off of life support and has passed on. Please pray for her little girl, family, and friends. She was an organ donor and will hopefully save some lives through this tragedy.
ETA: Updated with Benefit Race and Foundation info on Page 6

Location: Midwest | Small update I have seen from her friend on FB. She is in the ICU at Carle in Champaign, IL
The swelling isn't going down like they are hoping for, but it has reduced a little.
I feel so bad, as I know we all take these risks riding. I just hate to see someone hurt.
ETA: She is still in extremely critical condition.

A barrel racing accident. Someone had written she had a bad fall. Not sure if it was during her run or somewhere else in the arena. |

The way I understand it, she was on the west side of the alley & on a new/different horse. It slipped a little, ended up on the concrete - that portion is open from dirt to concrete - & she went flying headfirst into the stalls/concrete floor. Horse may or may not have also landed on her. She has been unconscious ever since & the swelling on her brain has subsided slightly but is still very much a problem.
Amy is a single mother with a five-year-old daughter, Suzanne. She really does need everything she can get at this point.

Cobie's post was the one I saw... I just feel for this poor woman even though I really don't know her, especially since she has a young one. |
