Thoughts and Prayers for the Spey Family

Two days ago, a Takoma Park stay-at-home mom and her two young children were in a terrible car accident at New Hampshire and University Blvd. Wendy Spey was hit from behind while stopped. In the car, strapped into car seats, were 2-year-old Nathan and 10-month-old Eleanor.

This afternoon, family friend Corinna Crockett reports that it looks like Nathan, who suffered a skull fracture and is at Children's Hospital is not going to make it.

Wendy asks that the family be given some time alone. When they are ready to see folks, the Spey family will need meals, help and support. Wendy's arm is broken in five places and will require surgery. If you can help out with meals, baby food, child care for the baby, or anything else you think could be helpful, e-mail Corinna.

UPDATE from Wed. at 10 p.m.: Corinna reports the latest from Wendy: The Spey family consulted with another neurologist and there's a chance that Nathan might be able to pull through and improve. "I know all of the love and prayers out there are powerful!"
