Prayer For A Fallen Hero

[TexomaOkie]

Please be praying for Marine LCPL Cody Hill. Cody and my son, who is also an active duty Marine, were high school football teammates here at Ada, OK. Cody was gravely injured when the humvee he was traveling in hit an IED in Iraq. He was the only passenger in the vehicle to survive the explosion. Cody received head and internal injuries, as well as being severely burned over the majority of his body. His condition has been stabilized enough that he could be moved to a medical facility in the U.S. His condition requires that he be heavily sedated, and his only communication has been to ask his dad for his rifle and helmet. His doctors have told the family that he will require several extensive and painful skin graft surgeries and at least 6 months of hospitalization for a full recovery. Pray that God will keep his body free of infection, which is a major concern for burn victims, and facilitate his healing.

Also, pray for the families of the Marines who were with Cody as they deal with the loss of their loved ones.

Coy sent this to us earlier- our church has been lifting Cody and his family up since. Not many of us can image what he's going through.

Father, you know Cody- you made him. You know his heart and his need. Minister to his heart as well as his body. Heal his wounds, both physical and mental. Give him the answers he's searching for.

In Jesus's Name.... amen.
