Subject: TOTALLY off topic: Prayer
Request
Hi, Gang,
I realize this is completely off topic, and
apologize in advance, but my family could really use your support and any
prayers you could offer.
My brother's 18 month old son fractured his femur
earlier this afternoon, just playing in the living room with his older
brother, who is 4. This is the 2nd long bone fracture for my nephew; he
had a tibia fracture about 4 months ago. So, after undergoing ORIF
tonight, they will be embarking on testing to discover why his bones are so
fragile. Apparently, there is a family history on my SIL's side of
Osteogenesis Imperfecti, and that is the working diagnosis.
I feel so helpless right now. Y'all can
probably see enough of my personality online to know that I really love to fix
things and help people and make things better. This is totally out of my
hands. They are staying 2 hours away, so I can't even just be there with
them.
Pray for Jacob, for healing and comfort.
Pray for Nathan, who feels like this is all his fault. Pray for my brother and
his wife.
Thanks
Holly
