Karl’s Having Surgery in the Morning

We are all so thankful for the prayer coverage 
going on round the clock for Karl.
No doubt you who have been joining us in
 prayer are part of this miracle!
Here are some specific requests:
1.  Karl is having surgery in the morning, somewhere between 9 and 10am.  They will be putting in a trach and a feeding tube {this is very normal with a traumatic brain injury and will help a ton because he won’t have the tubes down his throat {which he has appeared to even want to pull out a couple of times!}  
They both are just temporary.  
2.  Please pray that the surgery would go well as 
the Lord skillfully guides the surgeon’s hands.  
Also, a complete absence of infection. 
3.  Please pray for protection for the vertebrae in 
Karl’s neck as they do the surgeries.  
His neck went through a lot of trauma the day
 of the accident….it needs to continue to be
 protected as they tip his head quite a ways back.  
4.  Please pray that Karl’s brain would continue to heal miraculously!
A special thank you to all who are praying at shifts during the night.
To see the Prayer Vigil please click on the upper right sidebar picture of Karl and Autumn.  We would love to have anyone who would like sign up for an hour of prayer any time.  
Thank you sooo much!!  
This woman is pretty tuckered. 
 I just got home from the hospital where Emmy, 
Liberty and I spent about 8-9 hours with Autumn and Karl’s family {Dw went up for the first 5 hours of the day} and 
I barely slept last night, so on that note…..

  1. it's so beautiful to hear that Karl is waking and responding, that is wonderful news!!! 🙂

    Thank you to our Lord!

    I will pray for the things that you mentioned, and for angels to comfort him (minister to him) and keep him safe and doctors guided by His wisdom.

  2. Praise Jesus!! Praise Jesus!! Praise Jesus!!! God is so good!!! Continuing to pray for Karl's complete recovery, and for strength for all of you as you wait and pray.

  3. Sweet rest for one of God's treasures! Will be praying for Karl on all fronts. Alerting the prayer teams here on specifics…leaving it all in the miraculous and loving hands of our Heavenly Father! What a great day! Eye flutters and toe wiggles never spoke such volumes as today!!! Absolutely priceless! <3

  4. I have been praying like crazy for Karl and yet somehow missed the update about him opening his eyes!! SO AWESOME!! I had a boyfriend die in a car accident the year I graduated high school and then another one die in a car accident when I graduated college. Both tore my world apart and changed my outlook on life completely and I am soooo thrilled to see Karl progressing and reaching those goals every single day. Please let Autumn know she is on my mind and in my heart daily and God has His arms around her constantly and all she has to do is relax and let Him hold her when she feels like she's gonna fall. Praying for success in the surgery and that all is well tomorrow…

  5. Oh Linny – I'm so thrilled. This is the first time today I've had the opportunity to read through your updates. Praise the Lord !! My prayers will continue – all of us are praying. We aren't going anywhere. We are here !!! I am especially praying for the things you have listed. Karl is on my mind all of the time….and I'm always breathing prayers, and sending praises to God in advance for the things He is doing on Karl's behalf. Sending my love to each one of you, and prayers added strength and peace. My prayers for little Ruby Grace, and all of the other serious prayers requests as well. xoxoxo

  6. Holding up Karl and all in prayer in the middle of the night in Kentucky. Praying for a perfect surgery, no infection, plenty of comfort and peace, God's blessings. Praying for Karl and family, Autumn and family, and Ruby Grace and her soon-to-be older sister. Praying for you and your energy and strength and peace of mind.

  7. Continuing to stand with you in prayer for Karl, Autumn and both families. Thanks for the updates – it really helps to know the specific prayer requests.

    Love to you from me!!

  8. Praise the Lord! I woke up long before my alarm this morning with Karl and the expectant mother we are matched with on my mind. I love when the Lord wakes me instead of the pesky alarm clock! So he was specifically prayed over from 5-6am EST, here in Georgia! Praying that the surgery goes smoothly!

  9. Thanks so much for the update. I will praying for all involved in the surjury and that Karl will feel the hands of Jesus holding onto him during the surjury. Thanks for the update and I hope you had a good sleep last night.

  10. Continuing to pray for Karl's complete healing and claiming this scripture for him:
    By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.Acts 3:16

  11. I just finished my 1:00 prayer time which included prayers for Karl. I am so glad to hear he is making progress. I hope his surgeries went well this morning and more progress is made in the days and weeks to come.

  12. Praying for Karl's surgery this morning and for his continued recovery. Praying that this Miracle-Working, Mountain-Moving, Awe-Inspiring, Gasp-Giving God will be continuing his work in and through Karl and your families. May God get all the Glory!!
