We were praying for Karlie on the old MSDAOL.

We want to revive that prayer request and continue praying for her

You can find information about her on the link below:

Linking this site here, of course, is another exception to our forum rules.

We are hoping that Karlie's mother will register again soon and give us a personal update here.

Hi, glad to see you back online. I am so grateful to everyone for all the prayers and support. Karlie is doing wonderful. I don't know if I mentioned this but, she has also had problems with eating and impaired glucose intolerence. God led me to try and treat her with herbs instead of drugs and she has made an incredible turn around. After two weeks her blood sugar levels normalized and she started eating like a horse. She has also not been sick in over a month where before she constantly had a runny nose was always on antibiotics. We still have to get her to gain more weight, so please continue to pray for her. Isn't God amazing though. How He can use the plants he made to heal a sick child when doctors and all their medical knowledge can't? I love waiting to see what He will do next.

Thank-you Lord for blessing us with Your love. Thank-you so much for being an awesome God and not doing things in the expected ways, but for keeping us on our toes waiting to see Your next awesome work. And I want to thank-you Lord for listening to our prayers and problems. Sometimes we come with things that seems so insignificant, but You still care, and answer even before we ask. How wonderful are Your ways. Great and marvelous is Your work. Amen.

Father, we are continually amazed at all You do for us.
You keep us going in spite of all the 'knowledgable' rhetoric of our learned men.
they say we can't make it, You say 'Yes you can'.

Thank you for the health and strength you have given to your daughter, and for the healing you give us in the plants you made.
Thank you for the continued recovery of little Karlie, and making her glucose levels come back to normal.
Father, we ask that You would continue to guide the doctors and her parents as she continues to recover.
Give them of Your wisdom, help them to help Karlie.
Build up her little body, make it strong, and, please Father, help her tp gain weight.
Thank You for hearing us, and for the answer You have sent,
in Jesus name, Amen

Father,

I want to thank You for answering all the prayers that have been said for Karli so far - for laying Your healing hand on this blessed little child. I am so thankful that You care about ALL of our problems, worrys and cares - the big and the small!

I pray that You continue to touch Karlie's life... that she will continue to gain weight and be able to live a long and happy life!

Thank You, Lord, for hearing and answering our prayers!

In Jesus Precious Name!
Amen

God Bless and Have a Great Day!

I'm not totally sure of all of the details, but a woman at our church has been in touch with Jill and told us that this week sometime, Karlie will be going into the hospital to have, I believe, a feeding tube put in. Like I said, I don't know all of the details, but Karlie needs prayers, as does the rest of her family. When I know more, I'll post more, or have Jill post more.

God bless!
Angie

Dear Heavenly Father,

We trust that when You have begun a work in us, You will finish it. Please continue to stay by Karlie. We trust in Your power to bring total healing.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

Welcome back Jill

We join you in praising God for His healing and strength to Karlie.

Please keep us updated as needed, and we will keep praying, as needed.

Father in heaven

We thank you for helping Karlie so far, and we pray for Your help now with the feeding tube insertion; that it will better nourish her body and lead to a fulller recovery

I just got an e-mail from Jill and this is what she told me: "Yes Karlie is going to have a feeding tube. She will go in on the 17th and hopefully should be out by the 21st. Please pray for her and me, because I am really against this. I don't think it
is necessary, but the doctors are really pushy. Pray that she miraclously gains 5 lbs this week so I don't have to do this."

------------------
Smile, God is on your side!

Angie

Hi Angie and also Jill, if you are also reading this prayer topic.

We will continue to pray for Karlie that she will gain those 5 pounds right away.

I spoke with Jill yesterday at a fellowship dinner and she told me that after Sabbath, they had to take Karlie to the hospital to have her feeding tube put in. She only gained a pound. I know we were all praying for a different outcome, but this is what has happened.

------------------
God bless!

Angie

What kind of feeding tube are they putting in? Are they inserting one into her stomach either through the nasal cavity or surgically through the abdominal wall? Or are they inserting a TPN line? A TPN line is inserted into a large vein in the neck or chest and nutrition is administered in a method similar to IV solutions.

[This message has been edited by Linda Sutton (edited December 17, 2000).]

I have no idea, all of that stuff is WAY above me. All I know is that she was getting a feeding tube, I'll try to contact her today and find out.

God bless!

Hello Angie

I'm sure that little Karlie will not be slowed down too much by a feeding tube. It may help her to have more energy, and/or endurance.

I just looked at her web page...she is such a little sweet heart. I wouldn't have any trouble spending time with her.

I was 14 years in nursing; and the last few, I specialized in pediatrics. When I was in training; my first patient was a little 4 month old fellow with CF, Spina Bifida, and "Short Gut Syndrome."

Although he got really sick at times, they did miracles with that little fellow.

I know that God is able to give Karlie similar miracles; and today, I am praying that she will be able to play and have fun, like all little ones her age like to do.

Father in heaven

I pray that You "shall supply all Karlie's needs; according to Your riches in glory, by Christ Jesus." (Phil.4:19). Give her what she needs Lord, to play and have fun, like little ones so love to do. May her parents experience the joy that comes from watching their little ones enjoy a child's world.

I thank You for hearing our prayers.

Amen.

I received an e-mail from Jill and this is what she had to say, word-for-word: It's a G-tube or button some people call it. She is doing well and we
should be coming home thursday morning. Her web page has been updated as
well if anyone wants to check it out. Jill

God bless!

Hi, sorry it's been so long since I signed on. Thank-you so much for all your prayers and concerns. Karlie is accepting the feeding tube ok, but right now I am totally frustrated. I try not to talk about my problems, because someone always has it worse, but I'm to the breaking point. She now doesn't want to eat as much and the weight gain slow. They have threatened to call protective services if she doesn't gain more. She is throwing up and wakes up several times a night so my sleep is not good. I hate this tube!! Please forgive my attitude Lord.

I feel so inadequate Jill. Please know that I have you and Karlie in my prayers. You don't know me, but your post touched my heart.

Heavenly Father, please be with my sister Jill and her daughter Karlie. Give Jill the strength she needs to endure this trying time. Help Karlie to gain the weight she needs and to thrive. Help the authorities to leave them alone and let Jill do her job as mother. She is a wonderful mother, and doesn't need anyone interfering with the great job she has been doing. We put all our trust in you Lord and know that you have their best interests at heart. Please come quickly Lord Jesus and end this suffering in this awful world. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Hi all, Well it's been a while, but I'm back again. Just to let you know the update on Karlie. She was in the hospital again, but this time she has a pulmonary abscess. Nothing even related to CF. She stayed two weeks in Spectrum Health, but they sent us home with IV antibiotics. We are going to do them at home for at least 3 weeks. But Karlie is doing very well and we expect full recovery. She is just sad, because we had to cancel a trip to Myrtle Beach and she can't finish school this year. Well I have to go for now. God Bless, Jill
