Prayers requested

I apologize in advance, as this may be long-winded.

A friend of mine told me a few days ago about her next-door neighbor's "niece of a son-in-law." She lives an hour from here. She dropped her baby off at daycare and set off for work, at which point her car was plowed into by a construction truck.

She, obviously, was in very BAD condition and it really did not look good. She was comatose (still is), but had too many broken bones to count. About the only good news was that she did have "brain waves."

A day or so ago, she took a turn for the worst and developed pneumonia... but everyone who knows the family (including friends, neighbors, and "friends of friends") have been praying for her.

I started to post a prayer request this morning, but my ISP went down.

While it was down, I got a call from the friend who told me about this girl... and "her pneumonia is all but gone." Isn't God awesome?

She is still in a coma, but her neurologist said today what he hasn't in the past, "There is hope!"

She is still in a coma, but seems to twitch her hand in response. She has a long road ahead of her and lots of therapy and plastic surgery, but she is making baby steps, and may pull through.

There is so much more to be thankful for. Seems like this event has pulled estranged members of her family back together. I guess He really does work in mysterious ways.

So, now that I have finished this long-winded post, I would ask for your prayers for this girl and her family. Thanks and God bless!

O Lord, holy Father, creator of the universe, author of its laws, you can bring the dead back to life, and heal those who are sick. We pray for Courtney
that she may feel your hand upon her, renewing her body and refreshing her soul. Show to her the affection in which you hold all your creatures.
