The 4-month-old baby, who was still strapped into a car seat, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, troopers said.

Dad begins his notes....

Molly fractured three vertebrae 2,5,6 the spinal cord was severely damaged. Right now she has no movement of anything below the neck. Only a small tingling sensation in the right hand occasionally. There was a small twitch in her fingers... involuntary? All the Drs we have had conferences with have given no hope of recovery; 3-6 months at the hospital and rehab then I was advised to prepare a place in my home for long term care. In addition, she has a collapsed lung, left shoulder broken as well as left elbow. Chace, her 4 month old received some bruises and scrapes and is still under observation, but Dr says he is fine, he's hungry. Julie and I do not receive this... science has presented the facts and their limitations.
Now is the time for God to show up and do his miracles! Molly has the will ... it is the perfect opportunity to praise God and I am starting right now
