TRIPLETS 6/7/04 EMAIL.......URGENT!!!!!!!!!!


Kirk & Kim got grave news today from Katelyn and Kendra's doctors.  Both
girls are in renal failure and the doctors refuse to do dialysis because of
how serious their conditions are with everything else they are struggling
with.  The doctors and nurses are growing uncomfortable with taking any
more extreme measures to save these little girls.  They give them only a
couple of more days to live.  If ever we needed prayer, now is the time!
Please, please, please keep praying for this family and especially these
little girls.  I know it is not in God's plan for this family to have these
little girls grow up in suffering, but it could be in His plan to heal them
so that every day of their lives will be a testament to His powers of
healing.  Please pray for His will to be over this family and please hope
that means we get to watch these little girls jumping rope someday.

As for Kiersten... she is is still struggling, but is stable at this time.
She's not out of the woods but she is improving.  Her heart valve problem
has been corrected through medicine.  She's still having trouble with
remembering to breathe though.

Kim & Kirk need strength to endure this rollercoaster ride.  They spend
much time daily just crying.  All of the news from the medical world is
dire and bleak.  They need uplifting.  Kim is struggling with pain from her
C-section.  She is having to sleep in a recliner because she can't bear to
sleep lying on her back, or on her side.  Kirk is also suffering from
severe back pains.  He hurt himself remodeling the kitchen a month or so
ago and sleeping in the hospital cots and the stress of the situation has
irritated that injury.

I am convinced that all of our prayers have carried this family this far
and we can still help.  Kim was telling me that the other night Katelyn was
in distress at the hospital.  Her vital signs were going haywire and many
doctors and nurses were working on her.  Kendra's nurse was on the opposite
side of the room and she began to pray for Katelyn.  As she was praying,
Katelyn's vital signs normalized.  When the nurse went back to caring for
Kendra, Katelyn began to crash again.  She started praying again and
Katelyn came back to normal.  The nurse said it reminded her of Moses and
how when his arms were raised, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he
lowered his hands, they were losing the battle.  Finally, the nurse cried
out to God and said, "God, you need to have someone else focus all their
prayers on Katelyn, because I have to care for Kendra" and then Katelyn's
vitals came back to normal and stayed that way for the remainder of the
night shift.

When Moses grew tired during the battle and could no longer hold his hands,
he had to have Aaron and Hur hold up his hands so the Israelites could win
the battle.  We have to help hold up the hands for these little girls so
they can win this fight for their lives.  Please keep your prayers going
for these little girls.  Please get everyone one you know, whether you know
if the pray or not, ask them to please uplift this family.

Thank you once again,
In His precious love,

Jennifer

I will pray that god sends his healing powers to these precious babys! May he help the caregivers, do what is needed to help them, and may he watch over their parents, heel them, and give them the strength to deal with these problems.
They will all be in my prayers. I will ask others to pray also.

I was sent here from another journal. I was so sorry to hear about this. WE have been trying to have a baby for a few years now. So this really tore at my heart strings. I immediatly felt as I read about the nurse and Moses to raise my hands in the air (its four am and no one around so it was strange to feellead in the emptyness to do this ) and pray for these little ones. I dont know but maybe there are many others who upon reading this felt lead to do the exact same thing. I pray that the prayers of many have availed much. I pray peace and healing for MOM DAD and the babies. Wisdom for the medical workers. AMEN Lori

I came by via Angela's journal.  I offer my prayers up for this family, the babies, and all their caregivers...Lord, we need your divine intervention here.  We need your divine healing for these little babies and their parents.  Fill the parents of these babies with strength, hope, faith and endurance.  Let your will guide the medical staff in the care of these small babies.  Let your Love be felt and be known.  I ask this in the name of Jesus and in His name I thank You...gloria

I will keep this whole family in prayer.  I totaly believe in the power of prayer and the Great Glory and Promises of God.  I will also post this to my prayer group and have those mighty prayer warriors praying.  I am so looking forward to the Praise reports from this family!  God does wonderful things and I am trusting he will work for his Glory and Honor threw this situation.

Lord I lift up this family to you.  You know the situations and you know all the needs.  You know what is needed to meet these needs before we could even ask for them.  Lord I ask that you would work mightly threw this family.  Confound the doctors and nurses who so easily give up on life.  May they see your glory threw those little babies, those wonderful gifts you have given to this world.  Strenthen them and heal them.  Lord I also lift up the parents.  Renew thier strenth in YOU.  May they lean on you and not thier own understanding.  Give them hope and Peace that surpasses all understanding.  No matter what the situation may look like Lord, when the world says no may they rest on you and your promises and have faith of things that are unseen.  Touch the mothers body and the insisions from the c-section. Heal them quicly and fight off infection.  Touch the father's back and heal the pain there.  May they be able to totaly focus on thier children and on YOU in this time of need.
Thank you Lord for all you are doing right now! Thank you for all you are about to do in thier lives and for the great testimony they are going to be to others.
INJESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN.
