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.

Gretchen---

Please take care of yourself and may God's healing be upon you as well.

Following your latest report, I thought of this verse for Carrie. Maybe it has been used before---doesn't matter.

But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory and the lifter of my head. - Psalm 3:3

Gretchen, I always pray for you when I pray for Carrie .. and that is every day! Your letting us know about Carrie’s situation and the updates has been such a blessing. That dear girl holds a special place in my heart, and her family, including you, has been absolutely remarkable. You all are in my prayers each and every day.

Thank you for continuing to pray and for your patience in waiting for news of Carrie.

Today I received a family update from my aunt and uncle, at their home on the other side of Michigan from Carrie, again, with no news of Carrie other than that of events surrounding her. I wish I had more to report than to say that I have no news to pass on. There may be little improvements, or she may be improving slowly but not visibly (such as in growing nerves where they were damaged in the collision).

I know her family is grateful for any continuation of prayers before the day when things do change very much for the better. We are continuing to believe that the Lord is working healing in her.
