Prayer Request

[TeddyBear]

OH Connie, I am so sorry to hear this! I lost my dad to an accident regarding his alcolholism! My prayers are with you and your family to get through this and I also pray for your nephew to get better and hope that he will get help with his problem before a worse accident can occur.

Many prayers going out to your nephew, you, and your family. Having an older brother who suffers from alcoholism, I know how you feel. Maybe the accident is just what needed to happen for him to open his eyes but only time will tell. Until then, prayers from Mississippi.

Connie, I am so sorry for your heartache. I certainly will say a prayer for your
brother's recovery and for you to have strength to get through this. Stay strong.

I went to see Philip today! He's now out of ICU and in a regular room. He is hurting pretty bad, but he definitely is feeling a little better as he had a good sense of humor and made us laugh...which did my heart good. They still are not sure what to do for his shoulders...the one is separated which is different from being dislocated. He was told he'd be better off if he'd broken his hip and shoulder than what his injuries are. It's weird...his one shoulder that is separated doesn't hurt as bad as his other shoulder and they can't find anything wrong with that one. Go figure.

Thanks everyone for your prayers! They're helping him for sure! I'm just so happy he's alive...it was a miracle he made it through that horrible night!!! Please remember him in your prayers!

Glad to hear he's pulling through, Connie.

Just a thought.. I had a nasty fall and have had problems, so something came to mind. After all my broken bones healed I found I had injured my neck and had a ruptured disc that pinched a nerve. I was surprised that that was what it was because the pain (and it WAS painful!!) was in my shoulder, eventually going down my arm so I couldn't use my hand.

Could he have something like that causing his shoulder to hurt? My injury is at C6 and C7 and evidently that is where the nerve for your arm branches off from your spine. Couldn't hurt to have it checked again. Maybe they didn't look up high enough on his neck...

Sherry...I remember your neck problem...is it lots better now? I am going to mention that just in case they missed something. What you said makes a lot of sense. I'm sure they did a cat scan or MRI on him, but they can miss something when reading them. I will let you know! Thanks for your message!

You know just what he needs to mend and be healthy again. I pray you would work in his life to help him not only through the recovery of his injuries but also in the recovery of his alcoholic illness... Please bear the burden for him when he feels he can not bear it any longer... I pray you would put people in his life that would embrace him and help him through the process. I thank you for sparing his life, it is clear you have a better plan for him. Please help him find it and go on to be a healthy person who maybe can help others after he gets well... Thank You Lord for your unconditional love you bestow on us... Amen

Amen!

Everything happens for a reason and unfortunately, this may be Gods way of telling your Nephew that he has a second chance to go down the right road. My prayers are with you and your family for a speedy recover for Phillip.
