Katie just called and if you happen to be up late, please join me in praying for Jerry. After a truly glorious day, one that felt like an oasis in the midst of the experience, the night time has come.
Jerry was pulled off of some heavy doses of morphine today, needing to wean his body off of the heavy drugs. But in doing so, Jerry's body is going through some pretty rugged withdrawl. Combine that with the removal of his intubation, and it's been a trying day for Jerry's body, and certainly his mind.
As Katie called, Jerry is experiencing hallucinations, full of fear that he is going to die. He is seeing things that are not there, but is having trouble fighting them off.
Please pray for calm and peace to fill his room. Pray for protection over his mind and heart, and pray that some deep sleep would come. Pray that it would come NOW.
Pray for Katie as she is with him. Pray for strength, courage, determination and bravery.
We know that our God is with this boy, and pray now that he would feel His presence. That his hallucinations would be changed to brilliant dreams.

God, I pray that you would step though these nights, that you would conquer the darkness, that you would bring light, life and peace
Earlier this evening I was memorizing 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Bill and I are praying for you right now, Jerry, and Katie and Dennis. that Jerry's mind would be protected, and that He would give you peace RIGHT NOW, IN JESUS NAME.
Katie and Jerry,
Praying right now.
May calm reign down on your weary mind, body and spirit. Rest well and deeply. Please Lord, send your spirit into his dreams, hold his hand and comfort him.
peaceful mind...
Hello, this is Wes' mom - Jerry was Wes' first camp buddy at RCP about five or six years ago. He had come home so excited about his new friend. I think they even exchanged some letters after that. :)
I just want you all to know how much I feel for you and am continually in prayer for Jerry and all of you. I pray that He would give Jerry peace and comfort to be able to sleep and get well rested and to have "sweet dreams" and uplifting thoughts. I was so thrilled to read about the great day on Thursday and that he was able to share all of his feelings, crack jokes, etc.. God is good...and I will continue to pray that He would wrap you all in his heavenly arms and make you whole again...during this very trying time....praise be to the Lord our God.....hugs to you
Praying that today will be a better day, with relief, peace, rest for Jerry. Continued prayers for Katie and Dennis too.

Lord, please let Jerry's mind rest with dreams of peaceful memories and happy thoughts of the bright future he has to look forward to. Let his fear dissipate and a renewed sense of calm envelope his every being.
This I pray in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen!!!!!!

Katie and Dennis...this too shall pass. I love you.
Praying for peace and serenity for you right now Jerry.
Big hug to all of you,

If love and positive feelings could make things better, Jerry would be well immediately. He and his family are loved by so many people and we are all praying and wishing for things to get better. I have both tears of sadness and joy; sadness for the pain that Jerry and his family are going through and joy in seeing how many people truly care about Jerry and his family. They have given so much to our community in so many ways and it's wonderful to see that so many other people feel the same way. Josephine
Katie and Dennis,
Hang in there. I love you guys. I am praying right now.

In the name of Jesus, I pray against the spirit of fear. I ask you Holy Spirit to surround Jerry,let him know that you are with him and comfort him in his time of need,for you have not given us the spirit of fear,but of love,power,and soundness of mind.Let your peace that surpasses natural circumstances be released over him and his family and let it be a river that is continually flowing over them.
Love in Christ Jesus our Lord,
Rebecca
