PRAYER REQUESTS & UPDATES

"Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 

'For I was hungry, and you gave Me {something} to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me {something} to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.'

"Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You {something} to drink?  'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?  'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'

"The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, {even} the least {of them,} you did it to Me.'

Matthew 25:34-40


SHERYL WALLACE FAMILY

Update 5-22
"My family and I would like to thank everyone who has been praying for my recovery from the accident of April 21, 2008.

We would like to thank many of you who have brought us meals, we have appreciated the delicious food, the cards of encouragement and visits. THANK YOU.

God is good -and I am so glad that He isn't done with me yet. I am doing good, working with physical therapists, waiting for the pelvis to heal and regaining strength. I am overwhelmed with the love in action towards my family and me. Thank you all again. Homeschoolers are a generous, unique and blessed family to be a part of."
Sheryl and Scott Wallace

Update 5-1 10:00 pm
Sheryl has been released from Kootenai Medical Center.  She is home and resting.  What a blessing that she was able to be released so soon.  Please pray for continued healing.

Update 4-28 10:47 pm
Sheryl is in Room 258 at Kootenai Medical Center.

All life support and IVs have been removed.  She is on oral pain medication.  Praise God!!
She is using a walker since she can put no weight on her left leg for a minimum of 6 weeks.

No surgery will be need for her broken pelvis.  Again Praise the Lord!! It is healing on its own.

The most incredible miracle, and we are confident this is due to the prayers of all of you saints, if all goes well Sheryl could be released as early as this Thursday, May 1st.

Considering her original diagnosis was 6 weeks in the hospital, we praise God for the healing that He continues to perform daily.  It will still be many months before Sheryl will be close to her normal functioning state.  So your continued prayer and support is so very much appreciated!

Scott has been functioning on lack of sleep and caffeine throughout this crisis.  However he wants to extend his most sincere and deepest gratitude for all that everyone has done.

Update 11:00 p.m. 4-25-2008
Sheryl was moved from ICU to a regular hospital room on 4-24. 
Doctors are discussing whether further surgery is needed for her broken pelvis.  Please continue to pray.

Update 10:30 p.m. 4-23-2008
Sheryl is still in ICU but out of her coma.  She was taken off the ventilator yesterday.  The doctors have had her out of bed sitting in a chair.  She has asked her family to bring her reading material.  God is good!

Your Prayers are working!  Please continue to pray for healing, strength, and comfort.

Daniella Cross continues to organize the many who have offered to provide meals.  She has started another list of those who wish to provide domestic support.  Bless all you who are putting your faith into action!!!

Update 10:30 a.m. 4-22-2008
Sheryl is critical but stable condition.  She is in a coma. 
The doctors plan to wake from the coma today and to remove her ventilator.

It is now known that Sheryl's daughter Becky was also in the car.  Becky was not hurt physically.

Prayer is also needed for the woman who hit her. 
She is a 73 year old woman that was driving her mother. 
She also had a torn aorta and later passed on to be with our Lord at Sacred Heart in Spokane.  Her 90 + year old mother is in critical condition, hospital yet unknown.

For the most current update on Sheryl's condition please visit the NIHEA website. 
We have added a Prayer Requests Page specifically for her and other wounded homeschool soldiers in our midst.

April 21st - 9:00 pm

Word has just come in that Sheryl Wallace, a homeschool mom and NIHEA Member was involved in a head on collision on Hi-Way 95 just north of 53. She is currently in surgery. She has a tear in her aorta, a broken pelvis, and dislocated hip. She went into surgery at 8:45 pm on Monday, April 21st.  Surgery is expected to last at least 4 hours.

Sheryl prides herself in taking good care of her family while Scott works long hours to provide. As you can imagine this will be a serious hardship on the family. If you could perhaps provide meals and / or other support it would be greatly appreciated.

Daniella Cross is organizing meals for the family. She can be contacted at 660-2245 or by email at atwitznd@gmail.comm.

Please pray for all!
