Special Prayer Request



Please, dear friends and family be in prayer for our niece, Leah (age 4). Tonight Leah had an accident involving a crockpot of gravy (details yet to be confirmed). She has sustained very serious burns to her right arm. The first hospital referred her to a second hospital with a better burn unit, which was at least an hour away by ambulance. The burn is not necessarily life threatening but very, very serious for her arm (a circumferential burn) and the speed in which she can receive treatment is of the utmost importance. We don't know many details but our hearts ache for Stephen, Rachel and the boys, and of course for Leah. We'll keep you posted.

Update: It wasn't a completely circumferential burn as we feared (in which case if the scar tissue/dead skin (?) isn't removed quickly enough can fuse and act like a tourniquet. They cleaned her up last night and are going to evaluate her this morning to see how deep the burns went.
