Prayer request for my 4 yr old daughter

me | 11/13/03

[truthandlife]

I am asking a big favor from praying FREEPERS. I wanted you to start praying for my 4 year old daughter, Carly. We had an extensive hearing exam today and Carly has been diagnosed with sensor neural hearing loss. This results from damage to the delicate sensory hair cells of the inner ear or the nerves that supply blood to it. This hearing loss can range from mild to profound. She is in that mid range of hearing loss right now but could progress further. It can progress or stop progressing but it cannot be reversed. It is permanent (unless God miraculously heals her).

I am asking for prayers on a few issues: First, I ask for you to pray for her sensor neural hearing loss to stop. She can still hear reasonably well but she will have a dificult time distinguishing certain sounds without the help of a hearing aid. Second of all, I ask for you to pray for the wisdom of the doctors to find out the cause of her hearing loss. It could be a number of things. I would also like for you to pray for a miracle to happen (God willing) for a reversal of this hearing loss. The last thing is to pray for wisdom and peace for my wife and I. Especially pray for my wife who is pregnant and very emotional at this time.

Thanks for your prayers and we know that "And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28 )

My family will be praying for your family, particularly Carly. Tonight, our church cell groups are meeting at our home and we will pray for you all.

Your daughter and your family will be in my prayers. I pray that the hearing loss stops and she can live a completely normal life.

However, in case you ever need this information, there is a very good school for deaf children in St. Louis. I don't know the name; but, if you freep mail me I can try to find out for you.

prayers, my friend.

Thanks for the ping Tonkin

truthandlife, I wish you and yours well in your ordeal. With modern technology it is not impossible to live a pretty normal life without hearing (and sometimes that can be fixed, like Rush Limbaugh's- way too drastic for a 4-year old)

and remember...... with God it is not a waste of time to pray for miracles.

God Bless...

[MississippiMan]

Prayers sent that God will guide every person involved in her treatment--that they will be open to His guidance--that He will lead them to the right conclusions--that He will put the right answers in their paths--that all equipment will function properly--that He will heal her divinely if He so chooses--and that He offer you and your wife comfort, peace, and the knowledge that He is ALWAYS there for you.

Joining your FReeper family in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks for precious Carly and for her Christian family. We thank You that we can come boldly before the Throne of Grace, and we do so on her behalf, dear Lord. I pray that You would not only contain her hearing loss, but that You would touch her and restore her, such is Your power. Let all those who tend her medically know that she has been visited by the Great Physician.

Bless this new life that You have given to this family .. speak words of comfort and encouragement to Mom .. bless Dad with all wisdom as he guides his family through these troubled times. Let the Beauty and Glory of Your Name be proclaimed in every circumstance, for it is in the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
