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.
Trust in the Lord and all shall be well with Carrie.
Prayers continue.........
Sustaining prayers, Gretchen.
Prayers for strength for all involved.
Prayers continue, Gretchen. Carrie has to be one serious fighter. Lovely that the volunteers came by as a follow up.
Thank You for Hearing us, O Father our Great King. In Jesus' Name, and for His Glory, amen.
Looks like we'll just have to add the family to our prayers. God will give them the strength.
Prayers and more prayers for Carrie and your family.
I'm not sure you've seen this, but we can always be blessed by hearing and sharing other miracles and answered prayers.
Prayers continue.
Prayers continue.
Heavenly Father, please grant us the gift of Carrie's continued healthy life here with her family. We beg You for her comfort, for the skill of her doctors and nurses, and for her family, to relieve their anxiety and sorrow.
Heavenly Father, You have said, "Ask, and ye shall receive, seek, and ye shall find, knock, and the door shall be opened," and "Wherever two or more are gathered in My name, there am I."
So, we ask for Carrie, healthy and strong, we ask it together, in your most holy Name.
Amen.
Prayers for Carrie & family ~~Pandora~~
More prayers for Carrie.
Gretchen,
I hope Carrie is doing better by now. God Bless you and your Family as you cope. I continue praying for a healing of this young woman.
Continued prayers for Carrie!
Gretchen, I hope Carrie's condition has improved overnight. I'll continue to pray for her and her family. They will need the Lord's strength to get through the upcoming days. Thank you for keeping us all updated. Bless You.
Accident + 6I had hoped to have a more current update by this morning. My aunt and uncle communicated their desire to go to Michigan and help, if Carrie's parents felt that would be a good idea. I have been anticipating this as they are people of action and I can imagine how difficult it has been to be far away in such a time of need, and once Carrie was not able to be brought out of the coma on Monday, it was clear that more hands and hearts and wisdom and help could be a good thing.Some of the family have been at the hospital; also, her boyfriend, B, and his parents were with her. Carrie's Aunt P and Uncle D, her father, sister L, the older children, and everyone else went to the prayer "Gathering in Support of Caroline" at the church [to do some serious warfare praying, as her sister, L, would say].
Some of her numbers are OK. The inter cranial pressure was 19 or 20 [which is bad]. We think they want to get the fluid moving around to reduce the swelling and get that number reduced.
Carrie's younger brothers went to public school today. When Carrie's dad took one of the boys to his room, the children came running out to greet him and show him where his locker is. He really liked school today. He even has a lot of homework. The children are helping each other.
Carrie's Aunt P was amazed at how many people came. Aunt P and Uncle D brought some snacks, B's folks brought food too. [This has been very hard on Carrie's boyfriend and he could use an extra prayer or two.] B's mom brought some bubbles for the kids to play with if they didn't want to do puzzles. Carrie's mother said B and his family are really nice people. We need for Carrie to be better because they surely think the world of her too.
We appreciate all your notes, concern, and prayers.
Love, [my aunt and uncle]
Carrie has a wonderful, loving family. Prayers for Carrie, her family and boyfriend. Thanks for the update.
Thanks for the continuous updates. More prayers have been said and sent.
More prayers for him and all the family going up. Thanks for the update.
Thank you for the update! I continue to lift Carrie and family up in prayer, praising God for His tender mercies!
