Prayers For A Wounded Soldier
Family of 1st Lt. Andy Houghton ^ | self

Posted on 07/21/2004 12:55:27 PM PDT by Jalapeno

Andy was gravely injured by a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) while riding in a Bradley fighting vehicle. He was on an early morning patrol near Samarra, Iraq with his platoon. His head injuries were treated by neurosurgeon Dr. Richard Gullick and the medical team of the 31st Combat Support Hospital in the field at Balad, Iraq.

Latest News: Andy remains in critical condition. Immediate prayer concerns for Andy: (1) fever of 103 degrees (2) risk of blood clots because of his prone position. In order to perform medical tests today, all sedation was stopped. Andy has definite motor response to pain, including facial expression and hand grip. Within the next day or so: a tracheotomy tube will replace the ventilator and the nose feeding tube will be replaced with a stomach tube.

Please pray on this day, and every day, for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the world in defense of our liberty, and for the families awaiting their safe return.

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks for this brave young man who is so desperately injured because of his desire to defend the freedom of others. Look with mercy upon him and restore him to health, O God, that he might have length of days unto his children's children. Strengthen him and his family in this crisis ... encourage their hearts with the assurance of Your Word ... "Be strong and of a good courage, be not afraid, for the Lord thy God is with thee, whithersoever thou goest." Joshua 1:9. Touch him with the might of Your healing hand, O Lord, in the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
