PLEASE PRAY!!!!!!!



My dear blogger friends and fans... this is a desperate request for fasting and prayer!!

Our world has suffered a tragic loss. My friends, Kate and Ryan Alder were in a car accident on Friday on their way from Oregon to Utah. Ryan suffered a major head injury and was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident despite efforts to revive him. Kate also suffered head trauma and was airlifted to a trauma center in Reno where she is now. She had undergone surgery to relieve pressure on her brain. She is also being treated for numerous fractured bones, cuts and bruises. Their beautiful 3 month old daughter Cora did not suffer ANY injuries and is with grandma and grandpa right now in Reno. Kates parents, brother and sister in law are all there with her now.

This young family suffered a terrible loss! They need prayer!! Please pray for Kate's continued recovery and health, also for peace in her heart when she learns of her loss. Please pray for baby Cora and the wonderful grandparents that are her current caregivers. Please pray for all of those that are helping this family in Reno and those here at home that they may continue to do so.

My heart is aching and the only think I can think to do is pray... please join me!!

Any news? Is there anyone who has a daily update on Katie? Heavenly Father must have needed Ryan very desperately to have taken him so quickly. I'm so grateful for an eternal perspective, but it's still a horrific experience for anyone to go through. Our prayers are with you, katie! Get well and whole soon!

I'm so sorry to hear this! Devestating news for that little family. I hope and pray that she recovers. We had a head-injury miracle in our own family last spring. They do happen and this family has suffered enough. I will most certainly offer up my prayers for them. Tragic!
