Title: Prayers needed
Post by: Orion on November 14, 2004, 01:12:45 PM
It's my first time asking for prayer here, so I hope I'm going about it the right way.. Something came up that for the first time in years has shaken me to the point of crying for a miracle.

Someone who I have known and respected for some time -- but only recently spken to directly -- is in a state of mental regression. She is 27 years old, and has been gradually slipping; as of now, she is said to be at the mental level of a 12-13 year old girl, but from me recent attempts of communication I expect that her cognative ability is already much lower indeed, and it is apparent that she is suffering from amnesia. The doctors she has seen say that this regression is irreversable, ad will not cease until she's reached the level of a 3-6 year old. While the cause is not officially determined, it is suspected to be repeated head trauma inflicted by her abusive mother. From what I understand, her father has been told there is nothing anyone can do for her aside from making her as comfortable as possible. Her father already needs to do most things for her, and this seems to be happening on a very short timescale.

Her name is Sharry, and lives in Nebraska. She is a Christian.

*click-edit* corrected something.

Orion,

I will definitely keep Sharry in my prayers. I hope that you don't mind that I removed her last name. It sounds like this case may involve a criminal prosecution, so identifying the victim before possible prosecution might hurt the case or warn the offenders that something might be done in this case.

As a retired police officer, I have many horrible memories of children being abused, tortured, and killed. I also pray that justice will be done in this case.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Orion,

Hello brother, I will keep Sharry in my prayers. She sounds as if she really needs them, and she will have them from me.
