Prayers continue for Carrie and her family.
Still praying....
More prayers on the way...

Prayers for Carrie
DISCLAIMER......MY HUSBAND SAYS I CAN'T TYPE AS FAST AS MY BRAIN THINKS, SO SOME WORDS OR EVEN LETTERS MAY BE LEFT OUT OR ADDED, SO READ THIS LETTER WITH A SENSE OF HUMOR AND IMAGINATION....OKAY?.....THANKS
Dear Saints of God,
It is Louise Grant again, and I have asked Mary permission to write to all of you once again. Mary graciously said yes.
Foremost, I would like to say thank you for all your encouraging emails to the Hardys. Keep them coming. Also thank you for setting aside time to pray for Carrie. Last Friday, there was a number of people at the Hardy house for prayer and we had a precious time. This week, it will be Thursday (tonight) from 7-8 pm. Please feel free to come and join Dennis. Mary sometimes has worship practice, so I am not sure she will be home. If you can't make it, pray at home, please.
Here is what is needed. I wish I could put a scripture to every one of these requests, but I am unable to, except to say I know the Lord hears and He knows my heart. I pray that you will hear my heart as I write these requests.
Carrie:
That the Lord would heal her brain injury and bring her to a complete restoration in her life with HIm and her family and friends, with absolutely no residual effects from the accident.
That her oxygen level in the blood would stabilize.
That she would continue to absorb food well.
That she would have more productive and regular bowel movements.
She has a rash on her back that we do not know what is causing it. We do know that it is not shingles.
Her blood is too acidic and it needs to be more alkaline so she will not have continued yeast infections. Good report is that her thrush in her mouth is so much better FINALLY after treating with grapefruit seed extract. Praise God!
She would sleep well at night.
These are just a few as I write and put this letter together.
Dennis and Mary:
Wisdom for the both of them for decisions they have to make almost every day concerning Carrie's health and well-being.
Dennis is leaving town tomorrow to go to Hong Kong and will be gone till next Thursday. He needs healing in his body because he does not feel well, strength to endure the long flight, wisdom for when he gets there to deal with the business aspects of things and peace about leaving Mary home in the States to deal with things. They need protection over the house and children and Mary while he is gone. The children to be good for Mary (all of you who have children know it can be upsetting when Dad leaves for a week)
Mary depends on Dennis alot for strength when she is having a hard day. He is just wonderful with her. He always has the right words for her. I am sure it is not easy for Dennis to always stay focused on his job when things are happening at home, yet he must because he needs his job.
Mary's blood pressure is a little high, we need that to come down and be normal.
Mary is one amazing lady. I am daily, and I want to say surprised by Mary's wisdom and knowledge and fortitude, but to be honest, I am not surprised. She just keeps going. She needs wisdom to understand all the new avenues that she is walking down because of Carrie's accident, and they are much too many to mention. Her mind is on overload most of the time (I would think) but she keeps going on with a big smile and soft voice of hers always so patient with everyone. She is one amazing woman, I am blessed to be a friend of hers. I am learning so much.
Last, but certainly not least, Dennis and Mary need to sleep restful sleep. Often they do not. (enough said)
If you have any questions you would like to know but do not want to bother Dennis and Mary with them, please email me and if I can I will answer you. My address is lglgjed1@yahoo.com
What I would ask you to do please under subject please put Carrie Hardy or something so I will recognize the reason for the email, since this is really the first time I have all of your email addresses. Thanks.
Please know as you go before our Heavenly Father on the behalf of the Hardys, all of us are acting more like the Body of Christ. I can't help but think our Heavenly Father is pleased, to see His Son's Body act this way. When we see our brother and sister in need and we set our own desires aside to hold them up to the Lord, know for sure you will receive a reward.
Be Blessed. Your sister in the Lord.
Louise Grant
Amen! amen.
thanks for the update.
IIRC, 3-4 teaspoons of Apple cider vinegar in a glass of water may be of value to alter blood ph. There’s suitable docs on the web.

Praying for Carrie
It is I, Louise Grant, coming to you on behalf of the Hardy's. This weekend was a very difficult weekend for them. Carrie's vitals did not stay stable, so she had to be on oxygen for three nights and required lots of monitoring and suctioning. Plus it seemed that the new food didn't agree with her. It is always a discouraging time when these things happen, since Carrie in unable to speak. Everyone is just guessing what it is that may be causing these things to happen.
I found this out Monday afternoon when I was over to the Hardy's. As Mary, Diane( the nurse on duty), and I talked, we agreed that the enemy played havoc this weekend at the Hardy's. I confessed to Mary that I know we have prayed against the demonic in the past, but I believe we need to do it again.
A missionary friend of Dennis and Mary's came to visit Monday afternoon, and at one point in his prayer he acknowledged the warfare we have against the forces of evil. I told Mary something stirred in me that I knew he was right on and I wanted to say, “ yeah go for it” but I did not want to interrupt. I told Mary after the friend left, that it was time to change our manner of prayer. I believe it is time to take the authority God has given us and push back the enemy and bind the forces and command the Spirit of the Risen Lord in Carrie to come forth in Jesus name.
In John 10v10 “ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy, but I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” Dear saints of God, I sat there at the Hardys yesterday knowing God is in control and God will move His hand when it is the perfect time. But my heart says have we done all that we know to do, that God has ordained for us to do as His Body?
As you know, I wrote to you a while ago, asking you to pray and fast on behalf of the Hardys. Now I make another request of you dear people: Thursday March 20 starting at 3:30 pm till Friday at 3:30 pm, we are going to have a prayer vigil. I would ask you to set aside a time in the 24 hour period that you would sign up for I hour of prayer. (or however the Lord leads you to pray.) You do not have to come to the Hardys to pray, but I would like to make a chart and know who is praying at what time. If God is laying a certain scripture on your heart for that time, please email it to us beforehand or during, so we will agree with you, for the deliverance of Carrie's body out of the chains that are binding her.
Jesus said he came to give us abundant { full } life. The life Carrie and her parents are living is not the abundant {full} life that Jesus came to give. Let us break through the darkness with prayers from righteous people that are powerful and effective. Not because of who we are but because of who HE is. Let us stand before a WONDERFUL, LOVING FATHER, beseeching Him on Carrie's behalf, so that she may walk in the fullness of life that He paid the price for her to walk in.
As you ponder this message, please think about what time you would like to be in agreement with us, send either Mary or myself and email {lglgjed1@yahoo.com}. Again I ask that you would put in the subject matter Carrie's name so I will know it is about her, since I do not know all of your email address. Thanks.
We are starting the prayer vigil at 3:30 pm Thursday, so the time increments will be on the half hour. The 24 hour prayer time will finish with a prayer open house on Friday from 2-3:30.
Yesterday when I left the Hardys, I thought I would come home and do some studying on demonic oppression, but the truth is, God has not allowed that to happen. You and I both know the enemy and how he hates us and wants to destroy us. But OUR GOD is so much greater and I would rather write of the goodness of OUR GOD then the tactics of our enemy.
Dear Saints of God, cry out for His mercy, and remind him of his great promises for those who call on his name. Put him in remembrance of them on Carrie's behalf. THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS THE GREATEST WEAPON WE HAVE; so let us apply it to our hearts once again afresh and anew: and enter into the Holy of Holies, with reverence and awe of the love that He has for us and worship the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Thanking Him for His Precious Blood, for the work that was done at Calvary that ripped open the veil that hung between us and the presence of our Father God.
As we approach Resurrection Sunday, pray that our joy will be full and Carrie will rise to a new life in Christ.
“Be not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Gal.6 v 9 . I believe the harvest will be that our faith will grow greater, and we will tell of the miracle that the Lord brought on behalf of Carrie due to the obedience of His Body the praying saints. For we know that saints are praying all over the world for Carrie. Great things will come forth and God will be praised for the mighty miracle He has done for her as we shout the victory and give Him praise for His mighty deed.
A sister in the Lord Louise Grant
I will also keep her in my daily prayers. It's strange...I thought of Carrie during my prayers one day last week and wondered how she was.
I will keep her and the Hardys close in prayer.
