Randall and Joie Culpepper need Prayers!

I had posted on the main board and someone from there suggested that I post on the Christianity board as well. It is understood that most of you are familiar with Randall Culpepper and his wife Joie. They are such a blessing to the Alabama board and I am sure that likewise they are a blessing to all of you. Joie has become very critically ill. Last week, it was thought that she had some type of virus and was hospitalized with a high fever. Joie was released from the hospital on Sunday and had been home only a short time when her condition worsened and an ambulance had to be called and she was readmitted to the hospital. At this time, she was diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs. Joie was struggling to breath and her heart was beating rapidly to try and compensate in this situation. During the evening and night, her condition continued to worsen. Joie was transferred to another hospital that could provide more acute critical care. This morning Joie was placed on a ventilator to assist in her breathing. About two hours ago, Joie suffered a complete cardiac/respiratory arrest. She was resuscitated and is on a ventilator at this time. Randall had been advised to call the remainder of their family to come to the hospital. The outlook is not optimistic and this family is in need of a miracle from God. I spoke with Randall about an hour ago and he said he is standing on his faith that Joie will be healed and trusting God to handle the situation. My heart is heavy for this family. They are special. Please, please do remember them in your prayers. Thank You. Carolyn~

Carolyn, Randall and his family have been a great inspiration to me since I came to the OH family. I fell like they are part of my family. My heart goes out to all of them and while I am sure that it would be hard for you to relay all of the messages to them, Please let them know that there are alot of us praying for them out here.
