Calling All Prayer Warriors!

We need your prayers!
Our puppies had an accident on Tuesday and Brinley is in need of your prayers. They accidentally got left in the car Tuesday morning and experienced dehydration and probably heat stroke. After two days of IV treatment, Barkley is doing much better and got to come home last night. We expect her liver to fully recover after some antibiotics and special food for a little while. We are so thankful to the Lord for allowing her to come home. She is slightly lethargic, but quickly regaining her energy.

But we need your prayers for our sweet little Brinley Bea. I am asking that you pray specifically for her:

* BUN levels to decrease drastically.
* Blood creatinine level to drop from 4.6 to 3.5 or lower.
* Body to accept the IV treatment she is receiving so that she can be fully hydrated.


Her kidney levels are still high; we are not sure if it is a long term result or if it is because she is still not fully hydrated. We will go tomorrow mid-morning to check on her progress and see how she is doing. Hopefully, they will re-run her bloodwork then and we will have a better idea of where she stands and where we will need to go from there.

I am fully confident that if the Lord so chooses to heal her that He will. Please, join us as we pray for His favor and grace in this circumstance. We are not worthy of Him healing her and in and of our ownselves, don't deserve it, but He is a good and kind God that has the power to give life. We will praise Him regardless of the results, but we are praying and believing for a full recovery for Brinley and would appreciate you joining us and covering her with your prayers as well.

I'll update as I know more. Thanks for being her prayer warrior.
