Please pray for my cousin. Burn victim
 

My mother's cousin was burning brush this weekend. I don't know why (since he's smarter than this!) but he decided to put some accelerant on it and get it going. It literally blew up in his face! The explosion knocked all the pictures down from the walls inside their home!!! He has 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his face, his head and his arms primarily. Please pray that he heals quickly and without any infection. Pray that the pain meds will be able to keep the pain to a minimum. And pray for his wife Phyllis. She has to be exhausted, altho she never complains. Less than 6 months ago, he had half of one foot amputated. So he just got thru that!

Here is his picture, just so you can see how seriously he needs your prayers. Thanks!

Goodness, gracious! Poor thing! Praying for both he and his wife!

OH, GREAT AND ALMIGHTY LORD GOD! You see this cousin and his desperate need of Your Touch. LORD, we know You are Large and in charge. Would You see fit to touch and heal this dear man, and give him a complete recovery. Keep him from getting an infection, ease his pain, and make him whole, in Jesus Name! LORD, we depend on You! We Praise and Magnify and Exalt Your Great Name! Thank YOU, JESUS!
LORD, would You also touch his dear wife, renew her strength and give her courage, in Jesus Name!

I certainly will Margie!

How awful! Will definitely be praying, and thank you for sharing a picture to keep in my mind for your cousin when I'm praying, and of course, will hold up his wife too!

Re: Please pray for my cousin. Burn victim
 

OH, MY... Will surely be praying.

Thank you to all of you for praying for Eddie. His wife told me tonight that they are very concerned that he might now be developing pneumonia. His lungs were definately damaged in the accident, so that would not be at all good. I will let Phyllis know that all of you are praying for them. It will mean a great deal to her!

So sorry, Margies. I will pray...

Re: Please pray for my cousin. Burn victim
 

Eddie's daughter sent a long summary of what's gone on in the last 24 hours. Basically, he is filling with fluid (pulmonary edema) and they are checking his heart to see if it was also damaged. He is tentatively scheduled for a skin graft on Thursday but unless the edema goes down, it will be cancelled. We would appreciate it if you would take just a minute to pray again today for Eddie and family. Pray that they find the cause of the edema and that they are able to get it under control. Thanks!

Just thought I'd share with you what Phyllis (Eddie's wife) posted tonight on Facebook..............

Wow...a really good day for Charlie. No skin grafts going to be needed on the burns. Vent settings better..eased respiratory effort , and fluid leaving the body...over 5 liters in 12 hours!!! Thanks for all the good thoughts, prayers, hugs and messages. They are all working!!! Most relaxed I have felt in days!!

Please don't stop praying for him tho. He has a long, long ways to go!!! Thank you again and again!! :yourock
