I got this late last night. Sad story but glad most people are ok.
Request : from Lisa- Please join me in praying for an unfortunate situation. Just last night, my brother-in-law and nephews were involved in a head-on collision. The car that they collided with was also a family I love and care for deeply. In this other car was the Thomas family, including their aunt/sister, Sherry. All involved in the accident (both cars) were taken to the hospital for mostly minor injuries; however, Sherry was unconscious and has severe head trauma. Currently, she is in the ICU under great care; would you please join with me, in praying for Sherry:
"Father, I love you. This is too much to bear. Please intervene. Father, walk through this with the family. Be with them, Father. Comfort them, provide them security, love, and hope in the midst of such tragedy and sorrow. Father, be light in their darkness. Be their hope in this hopelessness.
Take Sherry, wrap your unfailing arms around her. Intercede on her behalf, Jesus. May your healing hands bring recovery and restoration to Sherrys brain and body. Reverse what damage has been done, Father. Grant strength, power and perseverance in this trial. In your sweet mercy, enable her to overcome this darkness; do what only you can do. Thank you, that in your Son, she has life. True life. Father, direct doctorsminds, give them great wisdom beyond their study to provide the care needed for Sherry. Pour out your Holy Spirit upon all that are involved in her treatment; allow their hands, heart and minds to be led and controlled by your Holy Spirit as they work. Father, heal her. I know that you love Sherry more than all of us combined; I trust your very best for her. You are worthy of our praise. You are the God whose arm is never too short to save. The God who wind and waves obey. The One who is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. With great expectation and hope, we anticipate all that you will do in and through this situation. I love you, Father. Thank you for listening." Thank you for praying for Sherry, please continue. I appreciate you all. For HIS glory,
Lisa
BIG Request for Emily- They have decided to do an Open Heart Surgery on Thursday to remove the biggest blood clot the Cardiologist and Thoracic Surgeon have ever seen. It is completely filling the right side - of course I don't know what I'm talking about, but they said the blood clot is 10 inches long and an inch wide!!
She is much relieved to not sit and wait but very very scared.
Earlier Update on Emily that i never had time to send: She took the medicines the Doctor gave her and is "being very still" but it's very hard. She needs a distraction all the time so she doesn't think about the blood clot in her heart. She also started into a major panic attack last night and they've given her Xanex (sp?) Which is helping but... Also please remember her Mother Linda, who already lost a child! When Emily's brother was 31 he was killed in an accident. Emily is now 35. She has another brother who is healthy, but he is bound to be a nervous wreck now too. Thanks.
