In An Instant

Yesterday in a Waco beauty salon, a petite 46 year old mom, wife, teacher and friend suddenly fell to the floor unconscious from her waiting chair. A nurses aid was in getting a haircut nearby and administered CPR. The ambulance Medics restarted her heart with paddles after barely detecting a pulse. As unbelievable as it sounds, they think she went without oxygen for at least 10 minutes! Later the doctors determined the incident was caused by a leaking heart valve. They can not believe she had never had any signs of trouble before. Deby Evans was the picture of health. She runs every morning. But not this morning.

This morning her church rallied around the family and a prayers flooded heaven asking for Deby Evans to come out of this OK. It does not look so good. Tonight Mrs. Evans lies in an ICU unit in a coma and on life support. The doctors are not sure the full extent of her injuries, but the term "low brain function" has been tossed around. They said the most positive sign would be for her to wake up in the first 48 hours following the incident. Deby Evans is a kindergarten teacher at Kolby's school and good friend of my good friend Alain. Mrs. Evans has a 7th grade son and a husband who teaches math at the High School.

Please pray for this family. Pray for a Math teacher who is now calculating the minutes since this happened, instead of teaching his kids to calculate. Pray for the brave 7th grader who has decided to make his teacher parents proud and attempt to go to school in the morning,even though his world has been turned upside down. Pray for Deby's parents who drove 16 hours straight from Colorado and her three sisters who are coming in from all around. Please pray for the two subs who will attempt to take Mrs. Evans place until a more permanent sub can be found. Please pray for the little kindergarteners who have yet to be in school a whole week and have had their Kindergarten teacher replaced. Pray for her co-teachers who have no idea how they will make it through the day without breaking down in front of the kids. Pray for the principal and staff as they try to carry on as usual although nothing seems as it should. BUT more than anything PRAY THAT DEBY EVANS WILL WAKE UP AND STABILIZE!

I will post about this more later. Life is so fleeting and precious and it can completely change in an instant!
Thank you God for my life and my family! Please, please, please Lord, please grant Deby Evans a miracle! AMEN
