DW, My family's very religious (wife and inlawsa and parents) and i've always been very much the opposite of them. However, we went thru something similar 2 years ago which got me to start thinking of those things a little more. My 2nd daughter was born 2 months premature. She wieghed only 2 pounds at birth and had to have her heart restarted twice (while i was watching) in the first 10 minutes of her life. She was in an incubator for 1 month and in the hospital's intensive care for 2. Needless to say many a night was spent worrying and LOTS of praying was done.

Now she's 2 and just recently killed her 4th remote control.

Hope this give you a little bit of hope and of course my and my family's prayers are with yours.

Born 6 weeks prem weighiing 3lb 4oz, spent the first 6 weeks in Special Care baby Unit on machines. He has only killed 3 remotes so far so he has a little catching up to do.

Brooke is having a brain scan done today sometime (they hadn't done it when I took my sister over there). I must admit though, although she is very lethargic she looks better than I expected.

Any news Darren?

Darren I gotta tell you I believe in GOD but don't consider myself religious. However, when I hear of a plight such as your niece's I tend to look upwards and start pleading. Reading this thread, first on Tuesday evening, has sent a chill down my spine as I have 4 kids (now much older) and recall the helpless feeling you get when something is wrong and you want answers and of course a good outcome. I hope your niece the best and a special hug to yourself and the rest of your concerned family.

Here's one of my past experiences involving prayer.

My wife and I had made a habit of praying for our children even before they were born.

One afternoon, while my wife was changing our daughter's diaper (newborn), she ran out of wipes.

Stretching her hand out to reach the new box, she turned her head away from Sabrina for a second. That was long enough for her to tumble off the changing table from a height of about 4.5 feet. Her eyes came back to rest on the situation just as our baby was about to hit the ceramic floor.

At that very moment, Sabrina's fall slowed and she came to rest on the floor without a bump, bruise or scratch.

I'm not making this up, and my wife is a rational, practical woman. This was not a hallucination.

I've got more of the same, but I think you get my drift. When I say I believe in God and that prayers are answered, I'm talking from experience.

So I'll keep praying for this situation, Darren, knowing that God can take care of whatever we can't handle.

I remember an incident when my oldest daughter, Jennifer, was about four. I was walking down our stairs with her behind me. I sensed something was wrong when I got to the bottom, turned, and saw her fall head-over-heels, face-first, down from the upper steps (our stairs are solid oak and uncarpeted). Her face hit with a sickening smack and her legs went over her head...I remember thinking how weird it was to see her hit like she was stiff as a board. Without any conscious thought, I stuck out my arms and she landed in them slick as can be. I dropped to my knees, I was shaking so badly. Jennifer just grinned up at me like it was the greatest thing that happened to her. I must have shouted, because my wife came running. When I stood back up, we saw a heavy stream of blood thrown onto the stairwell ceiling and wall...a single line like you'd get if you'd squeezed a ketchup bottle. Try as we might, we couldn't find a mark on her, either externally or internally (inside her mouth or nose). She had no blood on her body at all. Where did the blood come from and why wasn't she hurt? I saw her hit...

Prayer can and will protect...
