I’ll admit... when I had a breakdown some 30 minutes
ago, my thoughts were, “ok, it’s time to ask for back-up..it’s time to let your
guard down, Dawn, and let them know just how weak you are..it’s time to quit
acting like you are strong when you’re not and it’s time to open up and ask for
help..” Anyone who knows me, knows I can’t
stand the words, ‘I can’t’ but after the last week I had and the starting of this
week with a 1am wake-up to severe abdominal pains and other abdominal issues
that resulted in a 2:45am ER visit leading to the 2nd IV in 7 days
and more blood work and more scans and more “everything looks good.. we’ll send
you home with more medicine for the nausea and pain(7 hrs later)” I teetered on the verge of
‘what-the-heck-is-next & I-just-don’t-have-the-strength-to-do-this-anymore’.
Then as I fumbled through my messages after being
without media for the last 20 hours I read an email asking for prayer for a
little guy named Austin. He’s suffered over
the last 5 years from seizures. Seizures
that have gotten worse and more frequent… He has as many as 80-100 life
threatening seizures a day. 80 to 100... life threatening... can you even imagine? I can’t!
So, I'm asking for your help... as you
think of me and our family this week will you do me a favor? Will you pray for Austin?!? This Friday, Austin goes in for his 3rd
brain surgery & I’ve been asked to pray that the surgery will stop the seizures
from traveling from one side of his brain to the other causing “drop seizures”
(any one which could be fatal). Please
join me in praying for him, for his parents Kurt & Kelly, for his siblings
McKenzie & Hunter and for the surgeons. While this surgery isn't supposed to eliminate the seizures, God is limitless!
