Month: June 2012

Dear Closer Walk Family,
Please pray for a family I know. They are grieving the loss of a husband/father/son who took his own life yesterday. Pray for God’s protection on their hearts and for His love to surround them as only He can comfort and bring peace to us despite our understanding…especially the wife/widow and young son, as they begin to deal with what will surely be a long journey of dismay and heartbreak. God knows this family, and you probably don’t, so it’s not necessary to include their names, but I do appreciate the luxury I have to know that I can turn to you, wonderful community of faith, knowing that you are likely already petitioning on this family’s behalf. What a blessing you are prayer warriors! Praise God for His faithfulness!
DeColores & Peace be with you!

Just got word that my cousin was using his saw and cut off 3 or 4 fingers.  As I write this, he is being transferred to hospital.  He is diabetic and on quite a few meds.  Prayers requested that the doctors will be able to save his fingers and that he survives this tramatic ordeal.  Also prayers for his wife as she drives very little and is a nervous wreck.

the following is an update on the young man who crashed his motorcycle about a month ago. The initial diagnosis was that he would probably not live through the night. Thanks to many prayers and petitions God’s will has been done. He certainly is a survivor.

Today is June 26th and this is the day he is going home!!! He is being discharged from Hospital and will go home where his Mom Dad and siblings will care for him. He will have in home physical therapy and manage to be as independent as possible. He can get out of bed by himself and do most of his daily care with out help. The halo traction will remain intact for another month. That will be followed by a neck brace for another 4 mos. His spirits are great, he wants to heal, and get back to work as an EMT.
He received many cards while in the hospital and is grateful for all the love and prayers. He expects to be 100% soon!

Here is an update on him….today instead of surgery he had halo traction applied which he will be on for 14 weeks. He will be on a special bed with a frame so he can flipped every hr or 2. With youth in his favor healing should be able to take place and the vertebrae should hopefully grow to normal. They plan on taking him off the respirator in 2 weeks if all goes well. Yesterday he did squeeze a visitors hand. He remains in guarded condition and will for at least 6 mos. Full recovery if all goes well will be at least 2 yrs.
Thanks for your concerns and prayers…
we are planning to go to camp Friday morning.

27 yo father of a 5yr old daughter, was in a terrible motorcycle accident Sunday afternoon. He was thrown off the bike which he was test driving to buy when he lost control. We aren’t sure why he lost control and we may never know. He is in Hospital on life support and the recent CT scan showed head and neck severed. He will have surgery tomorrow in hopes to repair the vertebrae. He has ruptured spleen and liver. The drs are not positive of any survival at this point..they will do the best they can. I am sure if he does survive it will be a long haul and he may never regain the full life as he had before. He works as an EMT for an ambulance crew.
This is not news I want to pass along at this time, but our weekend plans are on hold right now for going to camp.
I will keep you posted…Thanks for your thoughts and prayers for his family.

Also, today I thank God for the healing He completed on this day last
year…and I celebrate that my final cancer treatment on June 21, 2011 has
so far resulted in complete victory over lymphoma! Much love and
gratitude to everyone who supported our family throughout a very
challenging time. 🙂
