Special Prayer Request

Several of you who read our blog are very much aware of this special prayer request; however, we would like to share this prayer request with all the other prayer warriors we have among us. This spring Camden and I have been going to a play date twice a month. We have been blessed to meet some new mommies, babies, and toddlers that we now call our friends. Our new friends, Mandi and Gabe Knepp, are a mommy and son that participate in our play group. Early this week, I learned that Mandi and Gabe were is a serious car accident last Saturday evening. Mandi is currently at Methodist hospital in Indy recovering from nerve damage in her back. Mandi has undergone surgery and is doing well; however, she is having lots of pain in her legs. Mandi is currently carrying her and Andre's (her husband) second child; therefore, doctor's must be selective in the type and dosage of medications that Mandi takes. The unborn baby's heartbeat is strong and things seem to be going well. Mandi's oldest baby, Gabe, is currently at Riley recovery from a fractured skull. Gabe is doing well, but is still getting a little help with some oxygen. As of this morning, they were trying to get Mandi transferred to Daviess Comm. Hospital so that she can continue with recovery and so that her OB can closely monitor the unborn baby. While prayers for physical healing are much needed, please pray that God gives Mandi strength, patience, and peace as she is away from her baby Gabe. Mandi is a stay at home mommy; therefore, I cannot even begin to imagine how much she misses Gabe and how difficult it is to be away from him especially when he isn't feeling well. With Mandi and Gabe being only a few miles apart, family and friends have been able to travel easily to both of them. With Mandi moving back closer to home, please pray that Gabe heals quickly so that he is able to come closer to home also. Keep Andre' (husband and daddy) in your prayers as I am certain that he is emotionally overwhelmed. Andre', Mandi, and Gabe - you are in our thoughts and prayers each day!
