URGENT REQUEST

Well, I would like to say this was a very happy Valentine's day however I have just received some very sad news from my mother. My cousin Henry has just been in a horrible ski accident while on a church trip to Michigan. He has severe head trauma (even though he was wearin a helmet), is unconscious and has no movement on the left side of his body. He just turned thirteen years old two weeks ago and as I grew up an only child he has always been like a little brother to me. Henry was just taken from Michigan to the hospital in Duluth, MN by helicopter. They are not yet able to bring him to Minneapolis until his condition is further assessed my mother said. I ask that you please lift my family up in prayer as they drive to Duluth and please pray that Henry can be resilient!
