Bobby's Prayer Request

My friend Michelle emailed me with a prayer concern. Please pray for her son and her family.

I haven't had time to call everyone, so this was the best way I know to let everyone know what is going on with Bobby. For those that don't know Bobby was in an automobile accident early Monday morning. The car rolled 6 times and he was ejected out of the vehicle. He is at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento and this is what we know so far.

He does not have any broken bones.
He does have a dislocated knee.
He does have head trauma. He is in an induced Coma to reduce the swelling of his brain and has had a line inserted in his skull to drain the fluid from his brain. He will probably stay in the induced Coma & Paralysis for the next week to try and keep his inner cranial pressure down. The doctors will try every couple of days to reduce the meds that put him in the Coma and see what the inner cranial pressure is. If they can get the inner cranial pressure stabilized than they have to evaluate how severe the damage is to his brain. He has multiple bruises on the brain so until they get the fluid and swelling down there is no way to tell what kind of damage we are talking about. If the doctors can not bring the swelling down than they will have to go to alternative measures up to and including surgery, but it does not look like we will have to go that route as his pressure is being managed with the line that was inserted in his skull.

Heavenly Father,

We come before you with praise and adoration this day. We know that you love every soul on earth beyond what we can think or comprehend. And Father, it is that love and compassion we appeal to today. We lift Bobby up to you and put his health concerns in your capable hands. Lord, give him strength and provide him with the best care as he recuperates. Grant him a full recuperation. Be with the doctors and staff that watch over him and help them make the best decisions. You are the master physician, healer, and creator. We trust in your miraculous intervention.

And Father, be with Bob, Michelle and Michael during this time. His family is concerned and worried. Bolster their faith Lord. Give them rest and peace, help them with the financial burden that is bound to arise.

We thank you in the glorious name of Jesus Christ.

Amen
