I have a few prayer requests:

1. There is a young newly wed couple at our church and they recently had a happy, healthy baby. Last night the father was in a bad car accident and he was thrown from his car. From what I am told, he had a branch go through his shoulder and doctors had to go through his ribs and back to remove as much as they could of it last night. He still has a pulse in his arm so they are hoping that he will be able to keep his arm. He broke his skull, femur, hip, and multiple ribs. They also were able to put his hip back in its' socket last night through surgery. His hip is so crushed that he's going to need a hip replacement...he's only a kid :sad they were telling his wife that he may never wake up and everything, but after one of his surgeries he was moving fingers and was responsive. He is supposed to undergo another surgery this afternoon. Because of COVID, he can only have one visitor for three hours per day. Kind of difficult when it's divided between his parents and his wife, I'm sure. He's got a long road and is still in critical condition. Pray that he moves forward and makes a strong recovery.


2. I've been taking a hiatus because my husband and I are struggling. We've been trying to get into dentists to get help for our children's mouths. When I was pregnant I was taking medication that I had been on for years to control my own health problems and I'm afraid it did damage to their baby teeth. The new teeth our older child has coming in are looking a whole lot better than her baby ones. Our youngest is having issues and she's only a toddler, they are wanting to crown every single tooth under general anesthesia and I'm terrified to death. My older child they said one crown and a ton of fillings...but I'm not convinced she has that many cavities. We're looking for a second opinion (if we can get one in time...dentists are booked up and unfortunately, insurance probably isn't going to pay for a second opinion) because we are sure not all of her teeth are that bad and don't need a dentist that is going to only milk the state medicaid insurance at my child's expense. She does need some of her teeth fixed, that's a sure thing, and I am so scared about all of this. I don't have a good feeling about it, but it does need to get done so she can continue to have teeth to chew foods with. I'm so scared that my child won't survive this or won't wake up and I'll be one less child for Christmas...I'm broken inside. I've been so stressed...trying to make sure to eat, but my stomach is so sour with all of the overwhelming thoughts :sad

Please pray that we all get through this.

Hi.. praying. Its written "“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.". I am reminded of God telling Sarah "Is anything too hard for the LORD?" Or the Leper "And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean. Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed."

You know...your not alone.. . you know He is for you not ever against you. Did He not also say if you lack wisdom to simply ask. Father give her wisdom and every doctor here for we speak words of life.. to live and not die in Jesus name. Did He not also say "And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions/prayers that we have asked of Him." Is not His will His word? We pray for peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. And rebuke the spirit of fear for you Father has not given you the spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind.

I wonder if we forget the OT was written for ALL of His children Isa 41:10 which is for you right now "Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.' Your Father can not lie..... we give you Father all the praise ALL the glory in JESUS name

Thank you for your encouraging words. I will keep them close.

praying for safety healing wisdom and every kind of help you need

praying for a miracle for the young father
 
Did I miss something? What's wrong with him may I ask?

He was feeling terrible earlier and went to the hospital. They didn't have any rooms, he got in a temp room after about 3 1/2 hours, but they're so full. They told him it was strep throat and sent him home, but it almost seemed like diabetic keto acidosis the way his blood sugar was and all of his symptoms. He's having a lot of difficulty breathing. I'm surprised they didn't keep him for the night. He's still having issues breathing, but I guess we'll pray it all gets better. I guess there's always Urgent Care tomorrow if he's feeling too lousy.
 
It's the trials and tribulations we go through in this life that we need to draw on God's strength to help carry us through. Much has been placed on the plate of that couple and also on your plate as it is all so overwhelming and stressful. I pray God gives all of you peace of mind and to trust in Him for every situation that He will bring all of you out of of these trials and the name of Jesus will be praised. My love and prayers have been placed before the Lord and a good report is forthcoming in the name of Jesus, amen.

UPDATE: The young man that was in a bad car accident was able to go home last week. He ended up back in the hospital because he couldn't keep any food down and it took a while for him to get better, but he was able to go back home. He still has a large hole in his shoulder where the tree branch was that still needs a lot of healing. He'll be starting a long road of physical therapy, but God has amazed us all so far with his recovery that I think he'll get through it.


As far as my youngest daughter's teeth, it's going to be another month and a half until her appointment to have her teeth fixed for her (in January). Thankfully, we were able to get her a second opinion (not all teeth will have work done on them - I think the last dentist was trying to collect from the insurance). They will be doing IV sedation instead of general anesthesia, and I've gotten good reviews about their anesthesiologist from two different dental practices in town so I feel a little bit better about that. We have some tough decisions to make, but still praying that it will all go all right.

The stresses keep continuing because my youngest daughter also jumped off of the couch and hurt her arm. We spent a long night in the ER over it and they said no breaks, but they said a hairline fracture is still possible and could show up in a few days - otherwise it's just a sprain, but she seems to be in a lot of pain over it still and it has me worried. We're praying that it will get better in a few days. If not, we'll be returning to a medical professional to get more x-rays done.
 
This is good news. I pray that the newly wed groom fully recovers. I am very happy that his baby still has a dad, despite the awful accident.

I thank God for the wisdom he has given you to seek out a second opinion and gave you peace regarding your youngest daughter. I also pray for God's protection over you and your family to keep you all safe, always.
 
I have been going back and looking at my threads since I pretty much forgotten most things posted before January 2021.

Here's the updates:

-The young man that was in a bad car accident has been seen back at church. If you take a look at him, you'd never guess he went through all the surgeries, recoveries, and physical therapies. God has healed him well. He has a job offer from another state, but because of weather conditions, I'm thinking this might affect the ability to move right now. It's amazing he's already looking to get back into a job after his whole ordeal.

-My daughter had her tooth procedure done. As heartbreaking and tough as that all was, she did well throughout the whole thing. The anesthesiologist was great, caring, and gladly answered questions. Recovery was difficult for a few days. The good news is her teeth aren't bothering her, she doesn't have the toothaches, she can sleep better and she has been excited to eat more foods. Thankfully, she's been picking up the pounds more easily (and in a good way).

-My daughter's arm was totally fine. Within a few days of having it wrapped, she bounced back. No hairline fractures developed and for that we are incredibly thankful.

We are glad for this third party testing we did for food sensitivities and to check for nutritional deficiencies and found that my youngest has a calcium deficiency. We are working to help her get her calcium levels up and that makes so much sense, but I wish I would've known it a lot sooner before all the damage was done.

Thank you for prayers, they have all helped pull us through.
