There is no news. She is breathing on her own and her eyes are open but she is unresponsive. I am struggling with a lot of thoughts on the matter. Her family find this reality very hard to deal with. It IS hard. So hard. We still pray...expectantly but with a greater, sadder burden. I wonder about so many things... *sigh* Thank you all for your prayers.

My prayers are with you all. May the family rest in God's sovereignty and comfort of the Holy Spirit in a time of great difficulty. I will have my students pray too. So sorry!

It is so hard when it's a little child. I will pray, too. Otherwise, I have nothing to add to what Kim wrote. God is always good even though we don't understand. Oh!

For her, for her twin, for her poor, stricken parents, for her classmates and teachers and for you and your boys. There is no comfort in these devastating situations apart from a simple trust in the Living God. His ways are past finding out, but they are good and gracious and are working out His perfect will in ways we will never--CAN never understand. There is comfort in His Word. 2 Cor 1:3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. 6 Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation. The consolation of the Lord was bought at an infinite price and abounds through Christ to His people in suffering. May God grant each one who is grieving a glimpse of the One who suffered so that we might have consolation of soul and eternal salvation. Love and Prayers, Kim Yes, I will pray.
