Updates On Isabel: From Rick W-B

From Rick W-B

Isabel is in our loving Father's hands; He is faithful and caring for her and us.

We met with the neurosurgeon, he was hopeful and said about Isabel:

She can hear, she is just below the surface (her coma is not very deep)
The veins in her brain are clear
She continues to respond to painful stimuli
The left side of her brain appears to be non-functioning
She is young and will be able to relearn
He wants her up and moving around after they treat her erratic breathing and blood pressure

Treatment: They are focusing on bringing her breathing and blood pressure under control (next 24-36 hours) - CRITICAL ISSUE ! MAJOR PRAYER CONCERN!

Prayer concerns:

Restoration of her left brain
She will be able to breathe on her own and not have to have a tracheostomy
She will rise, take up her mat and walk
Isabel will know of the Father's great love for her
She will know of all your love and prayers

Thank you so much for your love and prayers. God's kingdom is more vast and powerful than can be imagined and He gives us access. Wow!

Glad to know that the clot has dissolved--I'll take that off my list of things to pray for Isabel and add these new requests! After Aaron Turner read the story of David fasting for his son's life last Sunday, I felt compelled to fast during the lunch hour for Isabel. I hope to continue to do so as I am able. Much love to you and your family.

Here is the healing prayer we said when I was a child...
Thy name is my healing, O my God, and remembrance of Thee is my remedy. Nearness to Thee is my hope, and love for Thee is my companion. Thy mercy to me is my healing and my succor in both this world and the world to come. Thou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.

Want to help? Here's how!

The purpose of this blog is to provide a place for all of us who are interested in learning about our dear Isabel. In this space the family will post information as it becomes available or as conditions change. It will also be a primary channel by which they will be able to communicate their needs, share their hopes and burdens.

If you want to be notified when new posts are published, simply register your email in the space provided at the bottom of this main page; that way you'll be automatically updated via an individual message sent directly to your email account.

In addition to this blog, we've also created two separate online calendars as a means of coordinating the outpouring of help for Isabel and her family. The first calendar is the place where individuals can go to sign-up for visitations with Isabel. If you want access to this calendar, send a message to Bill McDonald with the phrase CARECALENDAR ACCESS in the subject line.

A second calendar has been established that is focused on coordinating support for Isabel's family in areas related to childcare, food preparation, transportation and home support. To sign up for any of these vital family support needs, send your request to Sarah Oldham with the phrase CARECALENDAR ACCESS in the subject line.
