"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
James 5:16
I come to you today with an urgent prayer request for a precious little 3-year old named Dallas Wilson.
On January 27, he accidentally pulled a coat rack down on his head and ended up with a fractured skull and two brain bleeds. He was transported to a hospital out of state where they were able to perform surgery and get the brain bleeding stopped.
This morning, 2/1, I was sent this update from family member, Katie:
"His MRI shows damage to his brainstem, where both lobes connect, and a few other small areas of damage. They are most concerned about his brainstem. It is what controls your eyes, coughing, gagging, and a few other things. But God has already shown us that full recovery is possible because Dallas can cough, gag, and move his eyes a bit and his eyebrows. He has also been moving his legs and arms upon request. He even squeezed their hands! He has been in and out of it, and they have had him sedated most of the time. Today his momma, Ami, said it was a big day. They will be doing other tests with him to see more about his recovery. He is such a fiery little thing, and I know he is so strong. He has been fighting hard to recover, and we can all see it and are proud of him. He is just the most precious thing.
God has worked so many miracles with this child already. It's insane all that He can do with such an injury as his. They did brain surgery the first night he was there and his skull is fractured from ear to ear. The doctors thought it was a miracle that he is alive. He is God's miracle and he continues to show us all how amazing he is and how amazing God is.
His momma and daddy, Darren and Ami, are just heart-broken as you can imagine. But they are tough, and they are hanging in there."
Little Dallas will be four years old in April. You can just imagine how you would feel if this were your own child, grandchild, or family member. I can only imagine what Darren, Ami, and the rest of the family are going through. Please pray!
If anyone would like to help with this family's expenses during this difficult time, please visit their gofundme site HERE, where you can donate and check for updates.
PLEASE SHARE THIS PRAYER REQUEST WITH YOUR PRAYER GROUPS.
May God lay His healing hand on little Dallas and do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think in his healing process and restore him completely to perfect physical and mental health, in Jesus' name.
Thank you all for praying and sharing this request with other prayer warriors!
Praying...Heavenly Father, we ask You to wrap Your Loving Arms around Darren, Ami, and precious little Dallas, giving them a continual awareness of Your Healing Presence and Your Peace. We come to You believing that All things are Possible with You. We are bringing little Dallas to You acknowledging that his body belongs to You. You know every cell in his body, and You know how to fix it. We pray for complete healing. Even though we know You use doctors and their expertise, we know You alone are the Great Physician. You are Jehovah Jireh, the One who can meet this need. You are Jehovah Rapha, the One who heals all our diseases. You are El Shaddai, Almighty God nothing is too difficult for You. You are Emmanuel, God with us. You will never leave us or forsake us. We know You never make a mistake, that You do all things perfectly, and You are always on Time. As in all things, we ask that Your Will be done, and no matter what, we will keep looking to You as our Savior and our Lord. In Jesus' name we pray, amen
ReplyDeleteBeth, what a powerfuly anointed prayer! Thank you, dear friend.
DeletePraying.
ReplyDeleteI have one close to this age, a nephew.
Aw, that really makes it feel closer to home, doesn't it? So thankful for your prayers, Sandi.
DeleteJoining in prayer here today! May God continue to bring His miracle for little Dallas and his family!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Bettie! Your prayers are a gift.
DeleteI, too, am praying healing for little Dallas and his family. Thank you, Cheryl, for those beautiful birthday wishes!
ReplyDeleteAw, you are so welcome, sweet friend! I trust your birthday was abundantly blessed. You so deserve it. Thank you so much for praying for little Dallas and his family. SO grateful for your prayers and faithful life for God.
DeleteHello my dear Cheryl. I'm sorry I'm so late in commenting. I did read this earlier this morning while I was picking up my grocery order at Walmart and I HAVE been praying for sweet little Dallas and his family all day when the Lord brought him to my mind, which was often. I have been on the phone much of the day and not online to write to you. I will continue lifting this little child of the LORD before His throne throughout the night tonight and until I hear from you again.
ReplyDeleteWishing you God's blessings and comfort.
Betsy
No worries on the delay, my friend. Just so grateful for your prayers and faithfulness to the Lord. God is hearing and answering the prayers, and I will be posting an update soon, Lord willing. I pray God will bless you, too!
DeleteHe will of course be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeletePraying with you all for this precious little boy’s complete healing. 🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Net!
DeleteHave you any updates yet on this precious little guy?
ReplyDeleteI got one update early yesterday morning and am waiting for a 2nd update before posting. Will do that soon, Lord willing. Thank you for praying!
DeleteOh I pray right now for little Dallas. May the great physician bring him total healing and show Himself in a mighty way. Praying that his parents are given peace that will surpass any understanding and that they will rest in knowing that God is on the throne and loves their little Dallas more than they could ever imagine. This is heartbreaking to read Cheryl and at the same time, praiseworthy to already see how God is moving. We are on day 14 going through a trial with friends from church that their 17 healthy, athletic son's heart stopped beating while playing tennis. It has been quite an ordeal. But we are seeing God move in mighty ways and I am expecting this for little Dallas. Hugs and blessings to you dear lady. Cindy
ReplyDeleteDear Cindy! Thank you for your comforting, encouraging words and precious prayers for Dallas! You are such a prayer warrior and I so appreciate your faithfulness to God. I am SO sorry to hear of this sad situation in the lives of your friends! Oh, I do trust God will move in and heal their son and give him a long, healthy life! Can you keep me updated on how things are going? Sending hugs and blessings back to you today. You are such a blessing. I am praying for you and your eyes, too. Trusting all will continue to go well, in Jesus' name.
DeletePraying for God's mercy to manifest in this young life, for grace and wisdom for all caring for Dallas and may the God of all comforts be with all the ones who care for him also.
ReplyDeleteOur Heavenly Father knoweth.
He careth for you... and for dear little Dallas.
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.
Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz. X
