Serious prayer request

Canon had a stroke yesterday. About 5:00 p.m. Canon became unresponsive. His right side of his body was not moving. Doctors sent him for a C.T. scan to look for any bleeding. Scan showed a substantial bleed. They immediately put a drain in to pull off fluid and blood that was causing a lot of pressure on the brain. Canon's brain was swelling and doctors said he would need to go to the operating room to remove the clot. Canon was taken to the operating room at 12:00 a.m. Surgery went well and doctors removed a clot the size of an adult fist. The Neurosugeon said he had been bleeding for a few days. They left the bone out in case they have to go back in. Canon is in critical condition and the next 48 hours are crucial. There was some brain damage, but we want know how much until he wakes up. This is a devastating blow to the recovery process. Canon needs your prayers more than ever. Thank you to all my friends and family who were with me throughout the surgery this morning. Carla

My children & I have been praying continously for Canon and will continue to. We also rely daily on the healing touch of Jesus and his strength to get us through. And HE is able, he's right here. He will never, never leave.

I will not die but live, and declare the works of the Lord. Psalm 118:17

Unimaginable...I don't even know what to say, so I'll ask the Spirit to do the groaning for me as I pray for you all, and especially Canon's healing.

It's so hard to see the rainbow through the storm, but God's promises to hold us close in the terrible times. We know that Canon as well as each of you are in God's loving embrace. Our prayers will go before the Father regularly for you. I know that He is listening and has been holding Canon close.

As said early, The spirit groans and utter sounds that we don't know however the father does it however,we continue to take a stand for this young child and his family..

we ask for Blessings each day as I am sure it is hard. May you find a way to close your eyes and get some sleep.

My prayers are also with you Carla , your family and support system

May Angels surround you with a hedge of protection. I pray the father is with Canon siblings as they stand tall during these days

I pray in the name of Jehovah Rapha which is the Hebrew name of God the healer..

I pray for a gentle peace , in spite of all the trauma that is about, I can only imagine the storms that are about... but remember you are loved and not alone

Your brother In Christ

Carla,

I cannot think of anything profound to say that will magically take your anxiety and stress away. I'm sorry.

We love you and we will continue to pray for you and Canon. God is faithful.
