>> One of our older church members, Peter, was approached in the park last
>> week by a lady he knows slightly. She told him her friend's
>> grand-daughter had been left with 85% burns after a freak accident and
>> asked if he would ask his church (Minehead Baptist church, which we also
>> go to) to pray for her. This lady then said to Peter, "All I know about
>> your church is that I have heard it is a praying church". Please join us,
>> and many others, in praying for this child, her family and her doctors
>> and nurses. Her 2 year old sister was in the room, she is unhurt but
>> severely traumatised, if she hears a kettle boiling she starts screaming.
>> Here are the details from the BBC news:
>>
>> Prayers for scalded 10-month-old
>> Prayers were being said for a 10-month-old baby who was scalded when
>> hot water pipes burst above her cot.
>> Rhianna Hardie remains in a critical condition in hospital after
>> suffering 85% burns in the accident at her council house in Taunton,
>> Somerset.
>>
>> Doctors have told the baby's family her injuries are so severe that
>> she only has a 20% chance of survival.
>>
>> The Rev Tim Jones said: "Our thoughts are with her family and we are
>> of course here to support them."
>>
>> "All churchgoers have been saying prayers for Rhianna and her family
>> at this time of tragedy and hoping and praying she will pull through," he
>> said.
>>
>> Rhianna was scalded on only the second night the family had spent in
>> their council house.
>>
>> Her parents heard a loud bang in her room and found boiling water
>> pouring from pipes on to the child's cot.
>>
>> Her father Mathew Hardie, 27, suffered burns to his hands and arms
>> as he pulled Rhianna from the cot.
>>
>> She was taken to Taunton's Musgrove Park Hospital, before being
>> transferred to Frenchay Hospital in Bristol and then to the city's
>> Children's Hospital, where she is currently under sedation and in a
>> critical condition.
>>
>> Skin grafts
>>
>> Mr Hardie and the baby's mother Charlene Haworth, 23, have been at
>> the baby's bedside since the accident last Sunday.
>>
>> Doctors have told the family that the next four weeks will be
>> critical to Rhianna's survival.
>>
>> They hope to use skin grafts from her midriff - which was protected
>> from the boiling water by her nappy - to grow skin that could be applied
>> to her face and body.
>>
>> The baby's grandmother Kathleen McKenzie, 47, said: "The main thing
>> is that she is still here.
>>
>> "She's a real little fighter and that has got to bode well for the
>> next few weeks.
>>
>> "The family would just like to thank everyone for being so kind to
>> us during this difficult time."
>>
>> The Health and Safety Executive and Taunton Deane Borough Council
>> have both launched an investigation into the accident.
>>
>> Avon and Somerset Police have said there are no suspicious
>> circumstance surrounding the baby's injuries.
