I wonder how it feel to Jennifer.  I am praying for this family but
wondering also if Jennifer is afraid in any way, afraid of dying, afraid of
the step between.

Subject: Jennifer Update - urgent


George called moments ago and said the doctor they have, he's a born again
Christian and Spirit filled, called them into a private meeting.  He told
them there is nothing more than can be done.  Jennifer's lung capacity is
down to 15 percent.  A person can die, he said, if it drops to 13 to 20
percent.  He wants George and Vivian to meet with him, when they decide, to
talk with Jennifer and explain the situation.  He wants them to explain she
is at that point that she could die at any moment.  He is amazed that she's
lived through this much in the last five months.  He wants the parents to
explain things and ask if she wants to continue treatment, be resuscitated,
put on a ventilator, and any drugs that would bring her back if she began to
fail further.  Then, when such decisions are discussed, He, the doctor, will
follow up by explaining to her what her exact medical condition is.  The
doctor told George and Vivian that he often has seen, when the child, of
course, Jennifer is a grown 24 year old woman, but when the person is told
that it is ok with their parents, they die within minutes.  Why?  Because
often the child is struggling to stay alive to make their parents happy.
So, please pray for these people over the next few hours.  Yes, we all still
believe, and even the doctor said, the Lord can bring her back and heal her
at the last second but maybe the Lord wants her home.  Of course, Jesus
could bring her back after she dies, for that matter, but the time is short.
Jennifer also seems to know something is going on.  I have been so involved
with this one, it is very difficult for me so I cannot even imagine what it
is like for George and Vivian.  I feel jealous that Jennifer is about to
reach Heaven.  I'd gladly give her my 53 years for her 24 years but such is
not the ways of God.  Only one had the power to give His life for Jennifer
that she might live forever and that may be sooner than we think.

Phil.
