Prayer request from Don Rutledge

[countmeworthy]

Not only Heal Daron Lord Jesus......speedily and swiftly remove his pain. You are the Great Physician. Nothing is impossible with You or to difficult for You to do.

We make our supplications and requests in the Throne Room that God the Comforter will restore Daron's health and heal his wounds according to the Promise of the Word of God.

Thank You Father, in the Name of Your Precious Son, Jesus for receiving our prayers.

Dear Fellow Believers,

At this point, it seems the paralysis will be from the elbows down and from the chest down. He is not a quadriplegic since he can move his neck, shoulders and upper arms but is looking at being a paraplegic. He still suffers a lot from intense pain. The doctors explained to us that when the central nervous system suffers this kind of injury all the live systems go into hyper sensitivity. He has feelings in his neck, shoulders and upper arms and upper back. If there is a wrinkle in his pillow, while we would probably not even notice it, for him it is like lying on a wire. He can only be given mild pain medication since he can only breath with his chest muscles as his diaphragm does not function. If he is sedated, his breathing would be very shallow and pneumonia is a threat.

He is beginning to get some rehab. He is working at being able to use devices for holding a cup. At this point he really can do nothing for himself. My wife Sheryl spends nine hours a day at the hospital, his wife two hours and I three hours to assist him with ongoing practical needs.

We are hoping he could be moved to a rehab hospital soon, but his pain level must go down before this can happen.

Please pray for the supply of grace from the Lord that Sheryl and I and his wife Christa can meet the need.

We have been supplied by so many prayers from so many directions that in the midst of our own pain and suffering we can glorify the Lord for His reality and love that is in so many of His dear believers.

Thank You,

Don Rutledge

Bro Don,

If I have ever encountered an "elder", i.e. one to look up to and attempt to emulate, on these internet forums, it has been your testimony here among us. I hope that I never forget your example. I trust the Lord to give us all the praying spirits to stand in the breach for you and your family in this hour of need.

May the grace of the Lord be with you always.
