A friend of mine sits at the hospital right now with her son, who has been put into a medically induced coma after an asthmatic episode they could not control. From what I understand of it, he is not expected to make it, although the family, and I, and many others continue to pray.

The child is only 8 or 9 years old, my youngest is 12, and my grandchild is nearly 2, but not quite. I cannot even wrap my mind around coping with the loss of either of these.. Well, with the loss of any of my children, 21, 17, 16, 12 and grandbaby 2 moths shy of 2 years old.

It is said that God doesn't give us anything we cant handle, and if this lady loses her child I pray beyond praying that she copes well and finds a way to carry on. More than that I pray that she doesn't lose her baby. I beg that you pray too. But I dont think that is something i could cope with. That would be the ebd of me.

I think I could lose every material thing I have, I think I could even survive losing my spouse, but to lose one of my precious babies, or grandbabies would seal my fate. Id drink myself to death within a few months. I cant even imagine what this woman is going through right now, I hate that I cannot help her beyond praying..

all of this is to appeal to you for prayers, well wishes, good vibes, whatever you send out send some her way, beause a mother should never know the pain of living longer than her child.. and while you are at it say a word of thanks if you are one of the fortunate ones who has not suffered this kind of ultimate, unbearable, begging, praying, injustice of losing a child you bore...

Thank you...



I am pleased to update that the young man I posted about was put into a medically induced coma for his asthma and it was touch and go for almost a week, but by the grace of God, and some great doctors he made it through and is home with his family now. I haent seen him, but I am told he is doing great.
