Thankful for the power of prayer!

Ok....I need everyone who reads this to crank up the prayer! I have 2 thins Thanksgiving morning! My sweet lil niece Lucy has hip dysplasia. She has been wearing a brace for a month now. They realized yesterday the brace is not working. Now she has to have surgery on Thursday. She will be in a cast waist down for 3-4 months. She will mostly have to lay on her back all the time. We did see some pictures of a few babies in a bouncy seat & a stroller...so hopefully her cast will allow her to lie in one of those. The cast will be changed every 3 weeks....but she has to be put to sleep every time. Please start praying for Brooke, Josh, & Lucy! Prayer for 3 months to go by quickly.
Pray that Lucy will not get irritated from the cast. Pray specifically for her lil skin. Sometimes they get sores from the cast...pray she won't. Pray for Debbie who will keep her when Brooke has to goes back to work. And pray that his will permanently fix her hip so that she doesn't have to go through any of this again.
We know God has big palns for this little miracle & we know he wil heal her hip! Thanks for praying!

Now...I have a little boy in my room. He has a disease caled perthes disease. He has battled it with physical therapy and they recently learned something has happened & his progress has regressed. He will be having surgery on Monday to correct his hip. He will be in a cast & special wheel chair for 3 weeks. Pray for the surgery to be successful. Pray for his family. Pray for him emotionally.....how many 5 year olds do you know that sit still all day? Pray for him to not feel embarassed to be seen in his cast & wheel chair. He is such a precious boy & I know God will take care of him to...so please say a special prayer for Brayden.


I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!
