Selah has had a good day. Everything has remained stable. Her heart rate is still higher than they'd like so please pray that it will go into normal range. She has made some small advances neurologically but we have a long way to go. We have been given hope for her survival based on the fact her body has remained healthy and her organs are functionally good. Of course they can not predict where she will be neurologically. She is making small advances, she is breathing above the rate of the respirator and her eyes are responding a tiny bit.
So please pray for Selah that she will remain stable and that she will respond to stimulus. We are NOT out of the woods yet but God is listening to our prayers and showing mercy. Thank you all for holding her up before the throne of grace....God is our refuge and strength a VERY present help in trouble! He is the only God who promises to be our help in trouble and He is with us in trouble....I know He is carrying us today!
Thank you all for everything! We feel cared for and loved by so many people who are holding us up to the Father....thank you!!!!
"Our life maybe a crazy life but it's our life" I'm married to a pastor of a small rural church, who is also the prison chaplain. We have 5 kids, each with their unique story. I love gardening & we all love the outdoors. Our life is not the way we planned it to be, but we are learning to trust God in every area. Come and read about our life as we live it to the fullest!
Hallelujah and all praise to the Great Physician!! Continued prayers for Selah to improve as God shows his love to the world!!

Dear Precious Family,
ReplyDeleteWe've never met, but I stumbled upon your blog yesterday and have been praying for you all and checking for updates continuously. I have two daughters and I cannot imagine the fears and heartaches you are going through right now. The Great Physician has Selah's life in His capable hands.
Praying for peace and healing,
Sarah in NJ
Praying for Selah's heart to slow down just a bit and her eyes to respond just a bit more.
ReplyDeleteGreat report, still praying for you and your family, praying those who are ignorant will be silenced on your blog, but having blogged for over 5 years I know there are some who are hurting so badly they can only hurt others rather than help. I know you pray for them as well and I am in awe that you keep your blog open. May God protect you and bless you, may HE be glorified through all of this!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. I wanted to pass on some info -- I have heard that some comatose patients respond well to music. If Selah has any favorite music, it would be a good idea to play it for her. It might help her to wake up.
ReplyDeleteMay God Bless,
Annie
Selah and your family are in our prayers. We have also requested prayer at our church. We serve a God who can heal! I know because He healed me of cancer in 2004! May God bless you all and your ministry. Christian Love, Ronda Smith in Lynchburg, VA
ReplyDeleteGreat news about Selah! Continuing to pray for complete healing in Jesus' Name!
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord continue to carry you and hold you all close to His heart.
Val used to watch my children many years ago. My husband Denny and I are watching and praying about your situation and your precious daughter Selah. Denny in particular is praying for your husband as he deals with this situation and his guilt feelings. Denny is a father who loves his boys and knows that Jon must be in deep pain right now. He is praying for the peace that passes all understanding to envelope Jon and let him know that the Father is holding him up in His mighty love. This could have happened to anyone anywhere. Any loving parent could have had this happen. God knows you love your children. All of them. He knows everything. He loves them. He loves you.
ReplyDeleteHe is in control. Rest in Him.
I have been searching for updates, she has been on my mind. Our family is praying for your sweet daughter. Praying for strength for your whole family as well and for His Angels to give you comfort.
ReplyDeleteI believe in miracles. I'm praying for a full recovery for your precious daughter.
ReplyDeleteI pray she continues to show improvement everyday and will soon be healed and bringing joy into your lives more than ever!
ReplyDeletePRAYING AND PRAYING. Grateful for the 'good news'. Praying continued peace in your hearts.
ReplyDeleteI continue to lift you all up in prayer! I pray that God would bring about complete healing in His perfect time.
ReplyDeleteMy children and I are praying for your little girl. I know we haven't met but we are sisters of name and adoption. May your baby pull through and not retain any marks from this accident. Let God heal her while she sleeps.

ReplyDeletePraying continuously for Selah and your family!
ReplyDeleteHave been praying for your precious family and especially Selah. Your story touched my heart and impacted me deeply as one month ago we had an accident in which three of our littlest children ages 2 (Selah), 4 (Justice), and 5 (Chase) rolled into our pond here in Bristol in our 15 passenger can. Myself and my two oldest daughters (we have 8 children) rescued them. I couldn't believe it when a good friend told me about you. I am also a pastor and have a daughter named Selah. Please know that I am praying for your family and if there is anything we can do please don't hesitate to let us know. We are in the area and know that you are away from your church family and friends.
ReplyDeletei'd love to meet you if you want to stop by...Not many Selah's....Love the name1!!!!
DeleteI am praying for your family, and especially little Selah, and her Daddy. I am so glad to have found your blog! I was looking for updates, and through Bay News 9 got a link to the Rochester paper, saw some news videos, and then saw about your blog. Thank you for keeping this up even at this difficult time. It will help others to know how to pray. We have two special needs daughters adopted 9 years ago. They are now 16 and almost 20. They are indeed special to us as yours are to you! God continue to bless you. Thank you for your words of encouragement about making every second count.
ReplyDeleteI have been praying for your family and have shared your story with my FB friends who have in turn shared your story with their friends. So many people are lifting you all up right now. You are not alone! I pray that you feel that love and support and our Father's peace that passes all understanding.
