Pryaer Request From Julie Lyssy

PRAISE UPDATE:  8/20/07

Thought you might like to see a true miracle on foot!  We left the hospital this afternoon. Thank you for your prayers and please join Donna and I in thanking
and praising the Great Physician who healed our son.  Please forward this message to those who, you contacted on Ryan's behalf. Also, please continue to keep Chase Frost in your prayers so that we can soon celebrate his recovery just as we celebrate Ryan's.

Update 8/18/07

Thanks to all of you for your support and your prayers. I am happy to report that Ryan has truly turned the corner today and had his breathing tube removed around 1:30 this afternoon. He is awake and trying to talk to us, but his voice is still pretty weak. He is taking ice chips by mouth and acts like he can't get enough of them. We will likely move to a regular hospital room tomorrow and hopefully will be able to go home two or three days after that. This thing seems to be getting better at about the same rate that it came on!

Update:  8/15/07

Those who were at the meeting Sunday night will remember this prayer request - now the young man has been diagnosed with a very serious condition.  The disease turns out not to be Rocky Mountain Spider Fever.  Please undergird this family for God's strength, peace, and healing power to be upon them.

Dear Fellowship Family:

This is a urgent prayer request .  I ask you to take time to lift this family up as quickly as you can.  Please pray for Bob and Donna Sewell, their 16 yr. old son, Ryan is in ICU tonight with what they think right now is Rocky Mountain Spider Fever. He's on a venilator that's helping him breathe in order for his body not to have to fight so hard to breathe on it's own.  We all know that we don't have to know someone to PRAY for them.  They are scared but know they beleive in a BIG God and HE's at work. 

He picked up a tick bite last month in Kentucky and hasn't had any symptoms up to this point.  While in CO. visiting friends this week, he started running fever and complaining of pains throughout his body.  After going to the ER there his parents decided that it was best to bring him home and let the doctors that they know here take care of him. 

They are asking God for a miracle and to restore Ryan back to them.  Will you do the same and ask the Father for HIS will to be done, but not to be afraid to ask for BIG things, since we serve a BIG God...let's agree!!!!

Thanks for taking this to the throne room for this family.  Pray for Donna to be able to get some REST, along with the others in the family.
