Lauren Shea Hickok
On Saturday, November 19th a car full of teenage kids crashed just outside Macon, Georgia. Among the passengers in the car were Lauren Shea Hickok and her brother Luke Hickok, the two eldest children of Steve and Susan Hickok.
The vehicle had cartwheeled four times before coming to a stop. When Luke Hickok unfastened his seatbelt and got the door nearest to him open, he went to find his sister and found her under the trailer they were pulling. Luke was able to pull his sister from under the trailer and get her breathing.
Shea's boyfriend died at the scene.
When Lauren arrived at the hospital the doctor in charge said that he had never seen the amount of lung damage in an accident victim and prepared the family for the worst.
At first the situation appeared little more than hopeless as Shea was getting 100% of her oxygen through artificial means. Many of the bones in her face are broken as are her clavicle and two vertebraes abover her ribs. Although her lungs were not punctured, they were not functioning.
Shea was the most critical patient in the hospital, and was placed in a medically induced coma.
As word went out around the country, a host of people began a vigil of thoughts and prayers for the family. A group of 30 people traveled two hours to be with the family from Atlanta. Susan's brother and sister arrived to be with them at the hospital and have been there constantly since.
What has happened since... is a tribute to the grace of the creator, the care of the doctors and the thoughts, prayers and energy of hundreds of people in behalf of one of God's most amazing creations.
Just one day after preparing the family for the worst, the doctor brought two more doctors so "they could see a miracle." She is still in very critical condition, but the improvements we have seen to date are encouraging.
For those who know and love the Hickok family, we would like to provide this blog as a means of communicating daily updates.
This is the beginning of a very long journey for the family, and your postings will be read to Shea even while she is in the coma, and for as long as she is walking this most difficult path.
Thank you.

I am a member of First Baptist Church Fountain Hills, AZ. Ken Mary posted us with the tragic news this morning.
As one Christian to another, we know that God is in control. my prayers as well as my wifes have gone up to our Heavenly Father, petitioning his healing mercy on Shea and Luke. No one knows why things like this happen. Perhaps it is God's way of allowing us to show our faith in him to others through our stong belief in Him and his healing mercies.
Whatever His will may be, we all know that there is a home awaiting us all in God's kingdom. With our faith and his Grace, we can handle the trials and tribulations of this earhtly life. God bless Shea, Luke and your whold family. In His Name,
Howard and Dottie Smith

I know I never talked while the leader was directing us in practices...how about you!? Shea Hickok, do you remember how all of us loved to see what new hair do you would wear and what incredible lip stick shade you would come up with? Girl you have style. Shea Hickok you have to get better real soon because I miss you and want to talk to you about all the things we girls love to talk about. Remember what I said in the letter I wrote for your graduation...YOU ARE A LIGHT THAT THIS WORLD NEEDS!!!!!!!! I love you girl and I know you are fighting hard. Keep going girl!! I love you and admire you. I and hundred of friends are praying for you. I am sending you a hug right now.
With love and prayers,
Karen Moss
Dearest Steve,Susan,Lauren,Luke & Jesse-
Wer'e so sorry to hear about this accident. We have been praying nonstop for your family. We know the Lord will continue to give you all strength through this ordeal. Dear Lauren, we are so excited to see the many good results that the Lord has done. We are giving thanks to God for all His wonderful blessings! We are thanking God for what we know He will continue to do! Just keep fighting and know we all love you. Dear Steve and Sue, we are praying for you both during this time, that the Lord will give you added strenth to continue on through the days. Luke, we keep praying also for your continued health and your emotions you are dealing with during all of this. Just lean on the Lord- as you know He will give you what you need to get through it all. You all take care and please let us know if there is anything at all we can do for you. May God continue to bless you all and keep His healing hand on Shea. Love Wally & Debi Motrych.
Shea,
This is Ed, the guitarist, at SBC. Laura the boys and I have been praying for and thinking of you. Our hearts are with you. From what we have been hearing and reading it looks like our Lord may have more for you to do here. Before Friday you were already a testimony of God’s miracles in your many layers of beauty and your multiple gifts. Today you continue to show us God’s miracles in your ability to overcome.
Sunday night we played “Song In Me.” From where I was standing I could barely hear the vocals of those singing and even if I did, I still would have only heard your voice. Shea, I look forward to the day when you and me and all of us can worship the Lord together in one place and sing “Song In Me” as an offering to Him for the many miracles he has given us through you.
Susan & Steve,
We are so sorry for the pain you are feeling. Please know that our hearts are with you. Tell Luke and Jessie we are also thinking of them. If we can do anything to help make this easier please let us know. If you ever think it would be best for Jessie to get away we have an extra room. Devin and Kyle would love to keep him busy. We can make travel arrangements. We all miss and love you all very much.
In Christ,
Ed, Laura & family
HEY GIRL!
Shea.... im going to have a hard time laughing in class until you come back. You are so precious. Im glad and rejoicing in the fact that we have God who is in control of you right now and always. I love you girl, and i will see you soon.
~Jessica
Dear Shea,
I'm the Pastor of The Church at Decatur Heights and the father of two girls, one of whom lives in Macon. As soon as I heard of your accident, I began to pray for you and have continued to do so day and night.
With so many Christians interceeding for you, I feel confident that the Lord will provide insight for your Doctors, strength for your family, and healing for you.
Be assured of my continued prayers.
My love in Christ Jesus,
Alan D. Smith
Dear Shea,
Our family is praying for your recovery. We miss you singing at SBC, especially during Christmas. I love hearing you sing "O Holy Night". When you get better, maybe you can bless us with that song again!
You were always so sweet and asking me about my sons in Iraq and telling me how you were praying for them. My oldest is now out of the Army and I told him about your accident. He is now praying for you.
Steve & Susan, Luke & Jesse, we are praying for you as well. Praying God will give you strength to get through this; that you would have your family all together at home again soon.
Donna Maciag & family
Hey Shea! It's Brittany-Shea! You are the only other person I have ever met who's middle name is Shea and spelled just like mine. I told you that the first time I met you at the Bridge last year. I know I have told you this many times but you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and I know everyone else agrees with me. Ever since I heard about what happend I have been so upset. I cry when I think about what you and your family are going through. Please get better! Everyone wants to see your beautiful smile and hear your beautiful voice (especially when you sing!). I love you and miss you and am praying for you always.
Love,
Brittany-Shea
Shea,
Our family has been praying for you and your speedy recovery . . . that God's angels would not be hindered in giving you aid, comfort, and healing (Dan. 10:12-13). Our 4 year old son is concerned for you as well and went to bed troubled after I told him about you. He came out of his room because he did not know how to pray for you -- he is just learning. God will take care of you -- rest in that comfort.

Steve and Susan,
Please know that your family is loved here in AZ and that there is a constant stream of prayer going up for your all of you. I thank God for sparing Shea's and Luke's lives in this horrible accident and pray that God continues to amaze all the doctors there.
Shea, stay strong and fight. Don't let this defeat you. God can deliver beyond all that you ask or think.
Luke, you must be dealing with a lot of pain (physically and emotionally). I pray that you feel grace and peace right now. You were needed at the beginning of this miracle and you delivered.
Jesse, this must be very scary for you to go through all of this. Even though you don't always understand why God lets things happen, you can trust that nothing is out of His control. God is good and He promises that someday this will all make sense.
Love
Todd and April Telenick
When I received the call about Shea, Luke, and Mike, my heart broke all over. I was in Philadelphia speaking at a marriage conference of over a thousand people. Normally, I don't share any personal needs with the people to whom I'm speaking. In this case, however, I felt the need was beyond urgent. I shared the situation with the entire group and asked them to please pray like they've never prayed before for Mike's family, for Luke's repair, and for God to show an amazing mercy to Shea.
On top of that, we had a prayer team that had been praying throughout the duration of the presentations at the conference. I alerted them to the need. They were so grateful to lift up the names of these wonderful kids to the Lord.
Please know that you are surrounded by an amazing army of friends, a shrewd and dynamic team of physicians, a fabulous family, and you are loved by a wonderful and gracious God.

Lauren,
Remember the times that I used to come over to your house back in Phoenix and we would put the sprinklers under the trampoline and jump and jump until we were exhausted! Those were fun days! I always loved hanging out with you...you were and still are one of the sweetest girls I know. I always admired you for your sweet heart and your love for the Lord! Jesus shines through you in so many ways! I miss seeing you and I was so sad to hear about the accident and all that you have been through...but, I know that you are a fighter and that you will make it through this! My family and I are praying for you and your family through this time. I know you have hundreds and probably thousands of people praying for you from Scottsdale Bible and Heart to Heart! We prayed for you at Calvary on sunday night too! I love you, girl and I'm praying you get well soon so that I can see your beautiful smile again! I love you!
Your old buddy,
Becca (Noland)

Our prayers are offered several times a day and include your entire family. Stay strong and remember God loves you! He will not give you more than you can handle!
Dear Shea,
You don't know me but I am a friend of Sarah Snodgrass. You have been in my prayers since the moment I found out about this. Our church, Santa Cruz Bible Church, has prayed for you and your family and Mike's family since we found out. My small group has also prayed for the situation. Please know that God is in control and you are being used in mighty ways in His kingdom even now as you lay sleeping. Please heal up soon. Sincerely, Teresa Wu
body: bruised and battered, soul: intact and shining, praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Dear Shea,
I just want you to know that in all things God will work for good what the enemy has meant for harm. I believe and I will be praying that not only will you recover, but that the testimony you will share will bring many to Christ. I am specifically praying that your lungs and voice will be better than they were before and that God will do a miracle and this will be a tremendous testimony that will go forth with a power and annointing. God created you in the first place and he can re-create you even better than you were before. We serve a very big God and He is totally aware and in control of your life.
We have been asking him for the specific miracles you have seen so far and we will continue to hold you up before the throne of the One who knows you and loves you most. We love you and your family so much and can't wait to hear what God is going to do for you and through you.
I want you to know that this has really impacted Rachel and that before this happened she was not really using her gift, but as she has prayed for you she has seen that you were willing to step out and really use your gift for the glory of God and she told me last night that she plans to pursue any open door that God places before her. Thank you for your Godly influence upon her and your friendship. Keep strong and keep fighting the good fight of faith. Nancy
Dear Lauren,
I want you to know that I have been praying for you ever since Sunday night when I heard you and Luke were in the accident together. That night I went out and watched the music video (A Heritage of Gold) that your Dad put together when Jesse was just a baby. You were an angel in the video and are still an angel to everyone that knows you. You are so special and I will continue to pray for you as you recover. Be strong and fight the good fight that you have been. You are a sweetheart!
Love,
Evy Noland

Shea,
You are an irreplaceable, very special miracle of God.
Susan & Steve, your heavenly Father loves you so much. He wants you close to Him, so much so that He is asking you to cling to Him for dear life, for every breath. Let Him wipe each tear, it will be easy for Him to do because he has your head on His lap. He must know more than we do. He loves you and so do we. I am praying daily for you all.

Shea,
You are an amazing person, with an amazing heart! I have truly been blessed to know you as a person and work with you everyday, and not only that teach you in class every week! Your personality and your compassion for everyone around you shines brighter than you will ever know. I know you are fighting right now, fighting hard, but I believe that our God above has his hand on you and make a "miracle" happen. Shea you are a beautiful girl, on the inside and out, and I miss you sooooo much. Work is not the same without you here, and I am not just speaking for myself I am speaking for everyone here. Keep fighting girl!!! I miss you so much and love you and I know that our prayers and our heavenly Father will heal you in NO time!! Get better soon so we can have some more "cheese"!!
Love Always and Forever,
Whitney Pelletier
Dear Steve and Susan,
I haven't got a chance to meet you yet but just from what I can see in you daughter, and what a beautiful person she is on the inside and out, I know that you have wonderful hearts. I am praying for you and Shea and I know that everything will be okay and that God is watching over her. I can't imagine what you are going through but if I could take away your pain I would. If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask. Me and my husband Brayden(he cut Luke's hair) both work at Salon 124 and would do whatever you need. All of us miss her here but have been praying constantly for her, please remember that. Shea is fighting hard!!!! We love you and are praying for all of you.
Love Always and Forever,
Whitney
Luke,
I know you are going through a rough time right now, but please trust in God and everything will be okay. I promise. Your sister is fighting hard, and God has his hand on her and your family. Hang in there buddy and know that we are prsying for you constantly.
Love Always and Forever,
Whitney
Shea,
I can't find words to tell you how much we all are heart broken over this accident.
"God is bigger than, the air I breathe, the world we'll leave...God will save the day, and all will say, My Glorious!"
Sometimes when I can't find words, I just sing. That song is true. God is bigger than all of this, and He will save the day, He will save our Shea!
We love you, and we are praying fervently and constantly for your recovery.
With Love,
Karis and Mike Murray
Steve and Susan- we have even less words to tell you how deep our sorrow over this trial that you are facing. Your marriage, your family and your friendship have ministered to us in so many ways and we pray that the Holy Spirit will minister to your hearts on our behalf. We love you deeply.
We sat around the dining room table that you so generously gave us before you left town, and we all rubbed our hands over the spot that still has duct tape adhesive on it from when Luke and Shea sat there and made their wallets. We were so grateful to have that little piece of them as we lift up our prayers for them. We will never refinish that table.
Jesse- we love you and are praying for your big sister and brother and for you.
Mike's family- your loss is heartwrenching and we will continue to pray for God's peace and comfort in your lives. What a wonderful young man he must have been.
Dear Shea,
Jill Called us Saturday morning to let us know that you had been in an accident. We have been praying for you and your family since then.
Thank you for figthing this battle.
You are a miracle and we praise the Lord for giving you strenght and for being with you through this trial.
We love you Shea and look forward to hear more good news about your recovery. The Lord must have something very special for you.
Kristine, Jeffrey, Anne Justine and Lorentz
Lauren-
It is hard to believe how much you have grown since I saw you last! Your family will always be very dear to me. My wife and I will be praying for God to pour out his mercy and strength on each and everyone of you. We know that His angels are with you.
Josh and Morgan Linebarger

Shea, I just want you to know that I long to hear your angelic voice sing soon. Surely you are perfectly and wonderfully made and already miracles are happening on your behalf. I praise God for you and pray for his healing hands to cover you.
Much love,
Shea,
I am currently stationed in Okinawa, Japan. I called my mother Donna Maciag and she told me about what happened. I have always admired you and your family. It breaks my heart that this could happen to such a great person and loving family like yours. I will pray for your fast and full recovery.
-Aaron Maciag and the Marines of MWCS-18.
Shea,
This msg is from a long time and close friend of both your mom and dad and grandparents. I remember you being born but not too long after I lost touch with your mom and dad. Til now I've only heard bits and pieces of your family and you. It is sad for me that your circumstances are the latest update for me about the family. Please don't misunderstand. I do care. I still wonder about that guy who got gum stuck in his hair by a younger foolish boy like me. If your dad remembers that far back, I hope he has forgiven me by now.(Does steve remember who that person is yet? think hard) Anyway, Shea, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We look forward to hearing that you have made a full recovery and will be able to share your accident with others as a witness that Gods love is great and that He is in control. Keep in touch and God bless.
with love and prayers,

Hey girly!I remember the first time you stepped foot in Peachtree Ridge High School with you family and i was so excited to have such a beautiful, sweet girl who was intrested in the same things i was such as hair and makeup, join our school. Every time i would pass you in the hall way, i caould always count on you to always have such a bright smile. I brighten everyones day who you comes in your path. As the time quickly flew by it was time for what we had all been waiting for...GRADUATION. When i went into the bathroom at the arena we were the only two worried about wearing reinstone earring, knowing it was againist the rules, but we did it anyways. As the time went by i started working at salon 124 and i heard about the new girl that was hired the same day i was, but was going to start in the fall when she was finished with vacation. I knew her name was Shea and i was so excited to hear you graduated from PRHS. From then on i knew it was the beautiful Shea i knew. On your first day i know how stressful it was and you were so overwhelmed. But girl you stuck it through and i knew no matter what mood i was in when i came into work that if i saw your car in the parking lot, my day would be made better. You have made me realize so many things and have tought me many things. I thank God that i have someone so special in my life that is so encouring and so smart in so many situations. I love you Girl and i am praying for you everyday!!
Love, Renea (mouse)

Though you don't know me you have been called very precious by one of my most precious friends, Jenny Ingram. She and Lynn Ingram informed me of the news immediately. You have been in my prayers daily since. Jen sent your picture my way too; so as I pray for you and see your picture I feel as if I know you. May you feel the love of Jesus pour through you during this time through all your amazing friends and family and those who may not know you yet. God is our refuge, our ever present help in time of need...He is there. Fighting with you Shea.

We are in northern CA. and are praying for Lauren Shea and the family and the Jones family. Our hearts go out to you.
You don't know me, and I didn't know you until now, but Krys VanSlyke requested prayers for you, Shea, and your wonderful family on the Central Christian Church WebPrayer site. I know you can hear the messages that they read to you, so please know that you have our best and most fervent prayer warriors praying for you constantly. Our Lord has something very special in mind for, and I know you will recover to fulfill His plan for you. It won't be easy, but you will recover. I will keep in touch with you through this blogspot. Love from Mesa and your new friend, Joanne Butler

I want you to know that i am praying for you constantly and all i can say is i wish you all my luck and i give you all my love; And to your family...
Your so lucky to be alive and with the lives taken in the accident; Be strong and you can make it through. I know it's hard but know that there is always someone there that will be there for you. I definetely will be...
I am so so thankfull that you two are doing well.

Good morning-
My name is Carrie Tishhouse. I live in Michigan now, but I lived in Atlanta about 23 years ago. I still have several dear friends there - one of whom e-mailed the news of your children's accident. My husband and I have four children of our own - a couple grown and a couple yet at home. I am checking the blog for your daughter daily- and adding my prayers to yours, and all the others that are going up before our Lord. I know that God is doing a miracle in Shea through the steady helaing process that is going on. I grieve for the family who lost their dear son. Please let them know I pray for their comfort as well. God is building an incredible testimony in what is going on- and I know that He will receive much glory through the witness you bear while you are in the midst of the fire. But remember that the three Hebrew boys - although in the fire - walked around in there with the LORD! and came out of that fire without even the SMELL OF SMOKE on them! And God was GLORIFIED! Make sure that you take care of yourselves as well. We're praying for you all!
Carrie

I am a stranger in the Seattle area. When the request to pray arrived, I did. I saw clearly that Shea would live. Please let us know specific requests; we will pray. It is my request that miracles are done for Shea!
my name is Leann Underwood. I go to Kennesaw State. I knew Shea's boyfriend a little. You are all in my prayers. I am glad that you have this blog so we can see how she's doing. I wish you all the best you are all in my prayers. With much love

Dear Steve, Susan, Shea, Luke, and Jesse,

Hello Hickock Family,
I've been spreading the word to my family and all my Christian friends to pray for Shea, and for your entire family too. We are so happy and excited to see the progress Shea is making. And what an amazing birthday present for Luke when Shea looked into his eyes!! God is so good!!
I listened to you sing, Shea, for the first time today and I must say, it certainly brought tears to my eyes. What an incredible voice you have! I have been thrilled to share it with everyone I know and I can't wait to be able to purchase your CD just as soon as it comes out. I'm sure you don't know who I am Shea, but I got to know your mom through a book club we were in when you lived here in Arizona. At that time, you and your family were thinking and praying about moving to Georgia, and we too thought we'd be going there, as our son, Kevin, thought he would soon be transferred. Kevin and his wife, Tanya, wanted my husband, Jerry, and I to move too as they just had their first child. We wanted to go and we even flew to Georgia to look at some homes. I loved it there, especially because I have two horses and we could get so much more land. But it turned out not to work out that way, at least not yet, so we are here until the Lord wants us somewhere else.
Please know that you all are never out of my thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to each of you as you all go through this ordeal together. I know you can feel the love, prayers and concern from people all over, including some you don't even know. And I appreciate so much the blog page, as I can check it everyday to see the amazing progress Shea is making.
Shea, your beautiful voice has helped to light up my life as I listen to you. What a gift you have and I can't wait to see what God is going to do in your life! God bless you all!!
Love, Linda Schneerer

Dearest Steve, Susan, Shea, Luke and Jessee,
Our hearts broke at the news of your family's tragedy, but they soared after reading how much love surrounds your entire family.
Thank you so much for letting us know of Shea's accident. It is amazing how thoughtful you remain, Steve and Susan, in this difficult time.
We know your love and faith will carry you through this, but please know how much we love and support you from Arizona.
