Prayers for my Granddaughter

Post by Dan Robinson »

Please send prayers for my granddaughter. She is 24 years old and has a seizure disorder. She is in the ICU after having a terrible seizure last Wednesday, September 8th. She's been on a ventilator, which has happened before. But this one caused damage. She has not woken up. This is not supposed to happen. I'm having trouble coming to grips with it.

Prayers from here too.

My wife has epilepsy, though only petite mal, She has it under control and has had no seizures in over twenty years, no one needs to go through them, not much you can do but hope it ends soon.

My wife's brother unexpectedly had some rough seizures a few years back and also found he had diabetes, he is a picture of health so who knows why. He has it all under control now.

My point is to have faith in your neurologist, there are some great new medications out these days, and hope you make it through this quickly.
Regards, Craig

Thanks to all of you. With no hope of recovery we removed her life-support today. She continued breathing on her own. Now she will leave us when she is ready. But I think God already has another angel.

It's ironic. Nieca is registered as an organ donor, and we know she would have wanted to give of herself (literally) to extend others lives. But since she can maintain breathing without assistance, she is ineligible to donate.

The next few days will be very trying.

Dan my heart is broken for you and your family. I lost my only child a year ago July. The loss of a child seems so wrong. I will be praying for you and your family in this sad time. If I can help you get through this please email or send a private message. We will never get over our loss but we learn to get through it.

And so, Man enters the Promised Land at last. This is where Man belongs. This is where Man can be with his creator in an eternal, indivisible moment of happiness. The soul is free from sickness and suffering because God is the great physician.

Please say a prayer for our beloved Granddaughter, Nieca Milliron who departed this life today.

Me and Nieca in the Colorado foothills, 2007.
