REC'D VIA EMAIL FROM MARIE ON 03/07/09:
"Chrisa,
A good friend of mine sent this. Please lift this young lady up in prayer and her mother and family as well. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
Dear Fellow Homeschoolers,Please pray for the Navarrette family. Here is a copy of the email I received from Shelley."It is my daughter Jill, who is in her early 20's whom you have not met. She is at Duke and has cancer in her lymph system. She probably would very much appreciate knowing someone cares and prays. She is very afraid and doesn't want to have cancer and doesn't want to die. It is an aggressive type, but they said if her heart can tolerate an extremely aggressive chemo treatment, that there is a good chance she may not die. It all happened so fast and with everything else our family has gone through this year, I need strength. "
Shelley"

Please read this story and pray for a miracle for this family. My sister-in-law, Nola, goes to church with the family and they are close friends. In fact, the little boy is in my niece's Sunday school class (she calls him her boyfriend). It is a very serious situation and the drs. say they need a miracle. Please share with the prayer warriors in your life. Thanks, Lisa

Pender County boy hurt on ATV remains in coma

When 3-year-old Jones Carr was sitting on a parked ATV on Feb. 21 with his father and brother at their home in Pender County, no one foresaw what tragic accident was about to take place, his father said Thursday. Jones Carr was seriously injured in an ATV accident on Feb. 21.
Joey Carr said he took his hands off the throttle for a moment to answer a phone call. Then Jones hit the throttle and the ATV lurched forward, throwing Carr and his other son off the seat. The ATV stood up on end and tipped over onto Jones, causing a severe neck injury that formed a blood clot to his brain.
A family member said Jones was taken to Children’s Pediatric Hospital in Chapel Hill.
The doctors were forced cut open Jones’s skull to allow the brain to swell, and they induced a coma to save his life, Joey Carr said. But when doctors sealed the brain shut, an infection set in.
“They don’t really know what the future holds,” he said.
Carr said doctors told him his son could suffer extensive brain damage, and possibly enter a vegetative state.
Since the accident, the community has been “extremely comforting” to the Carr family, Jones’s grandfather Chuck Noe said. There has been a constant stream of food and other donations, and people have set up fundraisers for support.
Dorothy Noe, Chuck’s wife and Jones’s grandmother, said a car dealership in Wallace is donating $100 for every car sold.
Joey Carr said people from the community have stayed in the hospital with the family and his son overnight.
“They’re are doing incredible things to keep us going,” he said.
People from places as far away as Africa have joined the Prayer Warriors for Jones Carr group on the Facebook social networking site, hoping that through the power of prayer Jones will be able to make a full recovery.
“If Jones is healed in this,” Joey Carr said, “it’s only because of God’s grace and healing through Jesus Christ and all the prayers worldwide that cry out to him.”
Chuck Noe said the parents have never left their son’s bedside.
“It’s been emotionally draining, a sad situation,” Noe said.

Jeanette Patterson, NC
Jeanette was taken to the emergency room on Tuesday with a gall bladder flare up. They decided to keep her and did a heart catherization on her on Wednesday to make sure her heart was in good enough shape to proceed with surgery. That went ok.
Today (Friday, March 6) at 2pm she is scheduled to have her gall bladder removed. They also found a growth about the size of a volley ball and will remove that at the same time. Regina Ivey, our church (Union Chapel) secretary/treasurer is Jeanette's daughter and is asking that we lift her mother in prayer today.
