Urgent Prayer Request for My Young Cousin, Severe Head Injury - Update at #2982
My family | Thursday January 25, 2007 | GretchenM

My aunt and uncle sent this out to our family at 6:30 AM today. Carrie is my young cousin, a very gifted artist, and the second eldest among her siblings. She and her family are in Michigan.

Prayer reqeust from my aunt and uncle (Carrie is their granddaughter).

This morning on her way to work Carrie's car slid on the highway and into a tree. She has very bad injuries, especially to her head. Her brain is swelling and she is now in surgery. They plan to open her skull to allow for the swelling, and she is not responding.

They don't give her parents a lot of hope. We are telling everyone so you can join us in praying for our dear Caroline. They called her parents about 7:45 this morning and they're at the hospital now.

Count me in for participation during the prayer vigil for your young cousin, Carrie.

Bless not only her, but also bless all who pray for her recovery during the 24-hour time period.

Thank you so much, Dolly, for posting this. I so often think of and pray for dear Carrie. Once we lost Gretchen, I feared we’d hear no further. oh, how I miss Gretchen. I wish we were hearing different, better news about Carrie, but am pleased that she is back to the FR prayer threads.

It sounds like it’s time to get Carrie to a major university hospital. IIRC, they are in MI. Have they gone to Ann Arbor? I would assume the University of Michigan hospital has doctors with the expertise they seek. Or, they might consider Mayo or Johns Hopkins. They could ask their doctors who recognize that this case is beyond their own expertise where and who the best in the country are in this relatively narrow field of medicine. In every field of medicine there seems to be a ‘go to’ hospital or doctor. I’ve seen docs at Johns Hopkins refer a patient to a specific doctor/department at Duke or UVA Finding the right docs is critical rignt now. That is in no way a negative reflection on the current docs, just on the general good fortune of people in their area not to have experienced what Carrie has.

Prayers for Carrie and her family continue.
