Stephen’s Story

Site created on September 25, 2019

Hi all! Stephen Cravens is 34 married to Samantha (me) with two beautiful little girls Haegyn and Charli! He’s a pipeline welder and is a family man. Sunday September 22, 2019 Stephen was in a bad accident that has caused him to be in ICU with a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). He has had a craniotomy on the right side of his brain to stop the bleed which they have. He has 2 PE’s (Pulmonary Embolisms) in his Left Lung and a DVT in his right thigh. They have him in heparin to help with those , and is being watched extra closely as heparin is a blood thinner and can cause bleeding. He has been in therapeutic range for everything and doctors are pleased with that. We have a long long road to recovery but my husband is strong and he is a fighter. He has an amazing prayer circle and a lot of amazing people helping out. Stephen is an amazing husband, father, friend, and family man. He will drop anything to help anyone out and not expect a thing in return. He is a full of life kind of person and I know for sure our girls and I miss him and want his goofy self back. Keep up the prayers God is so good! #StephenStrong ~ Sam

I may have confused everyone Friday 10/11/19 viewing is 9-10, service is 10-11. After the service we have a reservation at the den (one of his fav places) so kids can play and adults can enjoy Stephens fav drinks. Food will be available unless we run out or you want something else. Everyone buys their own drinks. Remember no black wear bright or colorful that was my husband. ❤️
