Please Pray for Paula Marks

I just received this email: “Last evening, Paula Marks, wife of Bob Marks [Bob is on the Chi Alpha nation­al lead­er­ship team], had a brain aneurysm burst. She is cur­rent­ly in a coma in neu­ro inten­sive care unit and is unre­spon­sive. Please keep Paula and the fam­i­ly in your prayers, they need a mir­a­cle.”

Please pray for Paula and Bob. They’re both won­der­ful peo­ple (although I’d ask you to pray for them even if they were scoundrels). FYI: Bob is on Chi Alpha’s nation­al lead­er­ship team and is a vet­er­an mis­sion­ary to France.

UPDATE: On 12/4 in the morn­ing I received this email:
“Many of you are email­ing me want­i­ng a lat­est update on my mom.

She is very ill and the doc­tor told us, that he is NOT see­ing sig­nif­i­cant improve­ments.

We are told that less than 1% sur­vive this kind of aneurysm.…

That does not mean that our faith is gone! Unless God inter­feres she will pass on so we con­tin­ue to pray for a divine mir­a­cle.

Please pray with us for this mir­a­cle because I do know that God does per­form mir­a­cles.

Sev­er­al of you want to know what to pray for specif­i­cal­ly so here it is:

The doc­tor wants to see if her lift 2 fin­gers on com­mand and then he will rec­og­nize that she is not neu­ro­log­i­cal­ly impaired.

That is what I am pray­ing for. I told her that last night and remind­ed her that her strength is in the LORD. PSALM 121 is what we have taped in her room…we are also remind­ing her that it is “Not by might, nor by pow­er but by His spir­it, says the Lord.” Thank you for pray­ing for her! ”

UPDATE: on 12/4 in the after­noon I received this mes­sage:
We just got a call from the hospital…when the doc­tor asked Paula to raise
her two fin­gers- she did.

Praise God for his answer to prayer! The fam­i­ly is very encour­aged, but
Paula still needs our prayers for con­tin­ued heal­ing.
