Prayer Need

Good Morning! I hope this finds you doing well and having a great day! I have a patient and family that needs urgent prayer. Because of privacy, I can't give names, but the Lord knows who we are praying for. There was an accident that involved a 14 year old girl and her 16 year old brother. They are exchange students from Germany. They were riding a Gator ATV yesterday when the accident occurred-he has suffered severe brain injury. She was thrown out of the vehicle but is doing better now. Their father is coming from Germany but will not be able to get here until Friday. The brother is on life-support and she will be going to see him for the first time this afternoon.

Their mother, also in Germany, has suffered a stroke and is a complete total care patient herself. She is currently not able to function on her own.

Please pray that the sister will do ok with her visit with her brother, that she will be able to understand the severity, that the father will have traveling graces, that we will know the best and most appropriate ways to help the sister understand and cope and that their host family will be able to hold it all together.

The father is refusing to believe how bad his son really is. He is bringing a Dr. from Germany with him to evaluate and explain what is going on. At this point, it looks like if he does survive, he too will be a total care dependent.

We all know that we serve an almighty God who works miracles daily. Please pray that His will be done and will be known to all those involved.

I think it is pretty amazing that he worked it out so that our lessons would be on this very topic the last couple of weeks. God is good!!
