Urgent Prayer Request for My Young Cousin, Severe Head Injury - Update at #2982
My family | Thursday January 25, 2007 | GretchenM

My aunt and uncle sent this out to our family at 6:30 AM today. Carrie is my young cousin, a very gifted artist, and the second eldest among her siblings. She and her family are in Michigan.

Prayer reqeust from my aunt and uncle (Carrie is their granddaughter).

This morning on her way to work Carrie's car slid on the highway and into a tree. She has very bad injuries, especially to her head. Her brain is swelling and she is now in surgery. They plan to open her skull to allow for the swelling, and she is not responding.

They don't give her parents a lot of hope. We are telling everyone so you can join us in praying for our dear Caroline. They called her parents about 7:45 this morning and they're at the hospital now.

THE NORTHERN FLOCK IS STILL LIFTING OUR YOUNG SISTER CARRIE IN PRAYER!

Eph 6:18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
Php 1:4 always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy,
Php 1:19 For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Php 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
Col 4:2 ¶ Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;
(NKJV)

you got to love paul!

Thank you for the update
It's good to hear that Carrie has such wonderful Nurses.

Night At The Museum- what a good choice to show her. (:
& I'm glad to hear Carrie is making progress.
(doesn't have to be quick or showy (sp)-baby steps are great!)

Since reading the last update on Carrie, I’ve been asking the Lord to restore the use of her arms, her painting arm particularly, with purposeful movement. When her boyfriend came over to visit Carrie yesterday, he brought a picture that Carrie had been painting of my aunt and uncle. I want to see her inner desire to use her arms rise up and ignite a fire in her healing mind. I believe that the desire to paint again will be very useful in her striving toward recovery.

Finding ways to reach her takes some thoughtfulness.
Seems like you have that covered (:
She's blessed to have a family (& a boyfriend) that loves her so much.
I'll keep her & you in my prayers.

This is very inspirational. True heroism. I can’t tell you how proud I am of this family. Heavenly Father must be so pleased. If only I could be half as good.

I pray to Heavenly Father for His comfort, peace and healing virtue to flow, in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen.

Thank you on many levels, Saundra. There is an update at post 2689 from July 8.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1773590/posts?page=2689#2689

She continues to improve in small steps and has come very far since the accident on January 25, when the doctors didn’t expect her to make it through the day.
