Prayer Request

The Stanton Family.

Hey all-

Today's posting is a very special prayer request.

My UCLA teammate's 16-year-old brother, Joseph Stanton had a skateboarding accident this past weekend and suffered a very serious brain injury. According to his mother, most of Joseph's brain was affected with significant damage to his brain stem. Joseph has undergone a craniotomy to reduce the swelling to his brain and is currently in a drug induced coma to assist with the healing process. While the prognosis from their doctors is not good, the family has chosen to "believe instead for the power of the Mighty Holy Spirit who can do all things through Christ Jesus who is the Great Physician." If I am not wrong, the doctor's are starting to wean him off the drugs today and the next 2 -3 days are crucial.

The family's unwavering faith in God is truly encouraging and all they ask from friends and family is to uplift Joesph in prayer and request from our own prayer warriors to do the same. So that is what I am doing. Please please please, take a moment out of your busy day and remember Joseph and the Stanton family in your prayers.

The family has set up a Caring Bridges page to help update everyone on Joseph's progress. If you would like to follow along and/or leave them a note on their guest book, click here.
