• Please Pray!

  Please pray for a friend of ours.  This was posted on her blog today.

  Please pray.  Baby Delaney has been hurt badly.  I took her via
  ambulance to the local ER and she is now enroute (via helicopter) to
  OSF Saint Francis Children’s Hospital in Peoria.  Brian and I are
  leaving to drive.  Please pray that we will make it there in one piece
  as I think both of us are shaking head to toe and probably not in the
  best condition to make a two hour drive.  And pray that Delaney would
  be comforted and filled (she’s hungry) and calmed and held when we’re
  not able to be with her.  Pray for mercy… that her brain will be okay
  and that her eye did not sustain lasting damage.
  Sorry no deets… must send as fast as possible.

  Her precious baby girl is about six months old.  Please pray for her healing and for peace and calm for Heather and Brian!  I cannot imagine going through something like this with Noelle.

  Update from Heather

  Wow – thanks friends.
  
  

  
  
  She’s home sleeping safely in her bed. Quite banged up, but no brain
  damage and no surgery necessary. We will return w/ her to Peoria next
  week to see the neurosurgeon again as well as an eye specialist. Her
  eye is completely swollen shut, so we have yet to hear the “all clear”
  on that.
  

  
  
  I’ve been awake for about 40-some hours now, but I’ll post more when
  I’m coherent. But for now, know that your prayers “moved heaven and
  earth”. There is no way she should have lived through a 150-200 pound
  item dropping from about five feet up directly onto her face. God is
  good. I am stunned. At His mercy and at your kindness. Thank you.
