Please pray for my nephew
Posted on 08/01/2015 11:00:57 AM PDT by Raebie
My nephew, Garrett, was injured in a diving accident on Tuesday. He sustained a c5 spinal cord injury and is paralyzed from the shoulders down. He just turned 17 in June.
Any thoughts, prayers or advice on how to help navigate this nightmare would be so appreciated. Thanks - Rae

Of course, prayers are ascending.
At some point, perhaps the family wants to investigate a ministry called Joni and Friends. Joni Erikson Tada also suffered a spine injury as a young lady. She has since been used to develop a ministry to others suffering disabilities. I’m not sure what the exact nature of the services that are available but it may be worth investigating.

Prayers for you, Garrett and your family are on the way.
Be strong and steadfast; have no fear or dread of them, for it is the LORD, your God, who marches with you; he will never fail you or forsake you.

Nos prières à Dieu augmentent pour votre neveu Garrett et sa famille.
(Our Prayers to God increase for your nephew Garrett and his family.)
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car cest à Toi quappartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

I have no experience or expertise on how to navigate the medical/emotional issues that your family will encounter as they deal with Garrett’s injuries. The hospitals have very knowledgeable staffs and resources that will help them. Rehabilitation has come very far, and continues to advance in leaps and bounds. I will pray for all of your family that Garrett is beneficiary of the very best, most advanced treatment and that one day soon he will be fully healed.
