One of the younger children is currently undergoing surgery for injuries related to the fire. No other details available.
(((((Sending Heartfelt Prayers)))))
Prayers sent
Regarding the surgery on the little girl. Apparently she was wearing flame resistant PJs and they became attached to the burned skin, so the surgery is to remove the material.
Saw a photo of the little boy - he had a big grin on his face and seems to be doing well.
The oldest son may be going into surgery soon, probably to remove clothing attached to the burned skin.
Being in a rural area, people are responding in a big western way. Businesses have donated clothing, a large ranch is hosting a pot-luck fundraiser. People are just pulling together from all over.
Keep them all in prayer - this will not be a sprint but an endurance run!
The girl being operated on has taken a turn for the worse. She had about 40% of body burned.
More prayers needed ASAP
Prayers are on the way. Please keep us posted.
A praise report. Things have changed within the past few minutes for the girl. She is now awake and the Dr’s are amazed and happy, but she is still in a critical phase. Prayer works!
Prayers continued......
Thank you so much for the update! Continuing prayers.
Praying for the little girl and the other family members, the doctors and the medical staff that are attending to their needs.
Almighty and Eternal God,
You are the everlasting health of those who believe in You.
Hear us for Your sick and injured servants
for whom we implore the aid of Your tender mercy,
that being restored to bodily health,
they may give thanks to You in Your Church.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
You are doing Christian work, my friend.
This family is firmly in my prayers.
Thank you for the update. This has touched many a heart by the Spirit of God. I have confidence He is completing His good and perfect, gracious and merciful work.
Update. The oldest son with 40% burns had a rough night last night and will be having surgery today. No info on the others yet.
I am concerned about Facebook - the page that was set up to keep everyone informed was deleted for unknown reasons last night - something that has been happening a lot lately on FB.
I’ll post what I find out when I find out. Hopefully I’ll be able to go by the hospital today and check in on them.
Lord our God,
Be with these people in the day of their trial.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
Prayers up.
Continued prayers for this family.
The update is appreciated.
It’s good to read of positive steps for this family. Prayers absolutely will continue.
The FB page may have been taken down by a family member who felt there was too much personal information? HIPAA puts stringent restrictions on healthcare providers, but not families. Still, someone may revise to have less personal info. I didn’t see the page so don’t know what it contains, but that’s one possible explanation.
We are praying for her. Burns are so painful.
I visited with some of them last night. Their mood seems to be good - incredible when you consider the burning hell they had to pass through to get out of the house. Most have burns on their feet and are progressing well. The oldest son went through surgery and is still pretty heavily medicated but prognosis is good. So too is his younger sister- both of which had the 40%+ burns to their bodies.
Their pastor as asked that this be posted for those who want to help -
“The Barclay Catastrophe Fund” has been established at Wells Fargo Bank. Donations can be made at any branch in the US effective immediately. This family needs all the financial support that ANYONE is willing to contribute, so please, continue with your generosity! Their medical bills are going to be astronomical and they need assistance desperately. Thank you
