Urgent Prayer Request for Katelyn Grace

I wish I had time to go into both the long and short of everything now, but the short of it all will have to do for the present.

After having an EEG (electroencephalogram) a couple of weeks ago, Katelyn Grace was diagnosed with partial seizure disorder, and is having seizures several times a day.

We have several very specific prayer requests:

1.  That the Lord would completely take away Katelyn Grace's seizures, either miraculously or through the doctors we're working with.

2.  That the Lord would give Mom and Dad wisdom as they're making major decisions about Katelyn Grace's medical treatments.

3.  That the Lord would strengthen Mom, especially, as she's struggling with having to watch Katelyn Grace suffer through these seizures.

4.  That the Lord would lead us to the right doctors.

5.  That the Lord would work through the unsaved doctors we're seeing.

6.  That the Lord would grant special wisdom to the Christian doctors who are helping Katleyn Grace.

Please copy this post and post it on your own blog, or just publish a link to this post.  Please share this prayer request with your family, friends, and church.  We are trying to get as many people praying for Katelyn Grace as possible.  

Please, please commit to pray for Katelyn Grace every day.  If you can do this, please let us know by leaving a comment.  Mom would be greatly encouraged to know how many people are praying for Katelyn Grace.

Thank you so much everyone!

Blessings,
Lauren for the whole family

Lauren, I'm so sorry to hear about Katelyn. I will be checking in often in case of updates and in the meantime I will be printing out the list you've made of the specific prayer requests and will pray over them at least a couple of times a day.
In Him,
Michelle

I was just looking at the pictures of Katelyn at Little Millers...what a sweet heart! We're thinking constantly about you all! (Of course it's a little hard NOT to think about you when every other minute you hear your brother sigh and say some mushy statement about how much he loves and misses you! Aahhh!) =)

Oh yes, aren't those pictures adorable? I've been meaning to post my Alaska pictures, but haven't been able to find the time....

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!

(By the way, I love and miss your brother too!) :D

Thanks to your whole family for all of their kindness!
