This is in response to a letter I
recieved from a Mrs. Martha Shull of
Lexington, SC. In this letter Mrs.
Shull is requesting prayer for her 6
year old child, Hailey.
Hailey was born premature on October
8, 1999 and has suffered constant,
devasting health problems. She was
born with her retinas detached
because they had not had time to
develop properly. Although she was
flown to the Wilmer Eye Institute at
John Hopkins for surgery, she is
still legally blind from all of
this.
As well, she also had 2 brain bleeds
which left her with cerebral palsy
and epilepsy. She is learning sign
language and has home bound school
because she cant take the chance of
getting sick. if she becomes ill,
she stands a great chance of having
more seizures. She has extensive
homebound therapy at home with an
Ocupational Therapist and a Physical
Therapist.
If this werent enough, in July
Hailey began to have severe vomiting
episodes. She was diagnosed as
having a diverticulum in her
esophagus. This formed because her
esophogus has weak spots in it and
now she has to have surgery to
correct this. However, this surgery
could be fatal in Hailey's frail
state.
Hailey's mother gives God the glory
for the miracle that Hailey is and
the grace that God has bestowed upon
her and her husband, Hugh. She
claims the promise of grace and
strength to bear whatever comes her
way.
Please pray for peace that the Lord
will do what is best for Hailey.
Pray for her healing and for the
hands of her doctors to be guided by
the Holy Spirit. Pray for strength
beyond all measures for this family
and guidance in all thier decisions.
There is power in prayer! Miracles
happen when God's children pray!
Lets lift this family up for God's
healing and peace.
