Accidents & Emergencies
Brandon & Savannah were in a Major auto accident last night. He is critical right now, but stable. He's already received 1 major surgery, and we are expecting 3 more surgeries, and a 1 month stay in ICU, before he can start physical therapy. He is in a medical coma for the next week. Little Savannah is having surgery today, and will need to be in a cast from the waist down for at least a month. She will need a special car seat and wheel chair.
Both Brandon & Tricia will be out of work for quite a while during this, and they do not have medical insurance. Every single Donation & Share will be a Huge, most appreciated help.
Lets show them the love & support they need from their Family, Friends, & Community!

Update 9

From Brandon's mom 08/06/19 - Update: 24 days after car accident

Brandon has 10 more days to go before he can begin any weight bearing but his legs, feet and ankles are healing. He’s frustrated but hanging in there and now that Savannah has been visiting him they are both much happier.
On his second surgery, the surgeons were able to put a section of mesh around his stomach and intestines to replace the missing and damaged lining and muscles and to help hold everything in place.
He will never be able to sit up again - the normal way - but will have to use a pulley or device to pull himself up and then sit. We haven’t even begun talking about standing or walking yet.... one hurdle at a time.

The reality of Brandon’s long term disability is beginning to dawn on him and us. That makes me sad for him but I am still just so thankful that he and Savi are alive!

Please continue to pray for his body to heal.
Help spread the word!

A three-vehicle wreck Saturday in Canton ended fatally.

CANTON, GA — Two men from Canton died Saturday when they were involved in a three-vehicle wreck off Knox Bridge Highway.

Cherokee Sheriff's deputies responded to a three-vehicle accident Saturday night at 9 p.m. on Knox Bridge Highway just west of Hwy. 108. A preliminary investigation indicates a BMW traveling west on Knox Bridge crossed the center line while going around a curve, striking a Honda Fit traveling eastbound. This caused the BMW to lose control, the department said.

The BMW then crossed the center line and entered the eastbound lane where it was struck on its passenger side by a Honda Accord traveling east toward Canton.

The driver of the BMW, Samuel Joshua Kellogg, 35, of Canton, and the passenger, Jimmy Chester, 55, of Canton, were killed.

The driver of the Accord, Brandon Smith, 32, of Canton, was seriously injured and transported to WellStar Kennestone Hospital. Smith's 3-year-old daughter was also injured and transported to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Their injuries appear to be non-life threatening, the department said.

The driver of the Honda Fit, Lee Fitzpatrick, 57, of Woodstock, was not injured. His mother, however, Roberta Beatty, 101, of Woodstock, was transported to Northside Cherokee with minor injuries.

The accident is being investigated by the Cherokee Sheriff's Office Traffic Enforcement Unit.
