Prayer Request, Please (Vanity)

You people prayed me out of a bad spot once. I need your help again.

Sunday night my mother-in-law, who is an absolute saint, had a blood clot on the brain aboard a cruise ship leaving Newark. The Coast Guard (bless them!) got her to a hospital in NYC. She had brain surgery late last night. She is still in a coma and cannot breathe on her own. She is only 67 and she has 5 daughters, 4 son-in-laws, a husband and a lot of grandchildren who love her dearly. Please pray that she comes back to us.

Further, I just received a phone call 1/2 hour ago from #2 son telling me that #1 son was injured badly in a car accident early this morning. He has a badly broken femur, broken ankle and a severe concussion. They are waiting for him to stabilize so they can try to repair the femur with a rod and pins and set the ankle. He is the devoted father of two young boys, my grandsons, who love their daddy dearly. They tell me it will be many months before he can walk or work again. He manages a Dominos and was delivering a pizza while short-handed. Please pray that he will heal quickly and completely.

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that You have spared the lives of this beloved mother-in-law and beloved son. We surround them both with fervent prayer for complete healing, O God.

Grant complete success to the surgeons involved ... strengthen this dear woman with the ability to again breathe on her own ... bring her out of her coma into the warmth and love of her family, I pray. Knit again the bones of Glenn's son and bless him with an ability to heal beyond all expectations. Speak words of reassurance and comfort to the families, for great is their trial, but greater are You, O God. Lead them through this time of darkness into the Sonlight of Your love. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...

Glenn, prayer on the way for your family.

I continue to pray for you as well.

[Glenn]

Thanks for your prayers. Keep them coming. They are working, I really believe.

My son is coming around. Still a couple of obstacles in his way, including a long road of PT ahead of him once he leaves the hospital. He can't urinate on his own yet. That's a problem the doctors are also wrestling with.

His brother came in last night. I hadn't seen my sons together since last Thanksgiving. Even in unfortunate circumstances, it's a real joy to see them.

My MIL went back into surgery to try to relieve some of the pressure on her brain again. She is stable but still comatose.

Now that I know my son is okay, I have to try to fly home tomorrow so my wife can get to NYC to be with her mother. Will be back online after that.

Thank you all and regards,

Glenn

It's been a rough couple of months. My wife's family (4 sisters and a father) overruled my wife yesterday after long discussions. They are going to have my mother-in-law's feeding tube removed. She's healthy but still in a coma. Her EEG and CT Scans have not changed since the first ones they performed in NY and the doctors simply don't expect her to ever wake up. Her father will meet with an attorney at 6 PM today to make the arrangements.

My wife is completely devastated. She's such a devout Catholic woman and her priest has advised her that removing the tube is not approved of as it is not an "extraordinary" measure to keep her Mum alive.

Please pray that my wife can get through this. She's a fine woman and I hate to see her so in agony.

An update on my son -- he is still in PT to get his leg straightened out. His ankle and knee are the sticking points. His femur is healing well.

Thanking you in advance.
