There is a 4-year old friend of my children who is need of prayer. Carter Dunbar is in the hospital at UNC-Chapel Hill. He was complaining of his neck hurting Thursday evening. After a visit to the emergency room at Rex Hospital, he was taken to UNC.
It has been determinded that Carter's C-5 vertebrate of his spine has collapsed. He is tentatively scheduled for surgery Monday to replace that vertebrate. A complete body scan has revealed some other issues that must be addressed first. (I don't include those know as his siblings do not know yet. Just know that it is very serious.)
Carter's mom and dad are with him now. His three older siblings are staying with friends and family members. They are in the middle of showing their animals at the state fair. These friends and family members are doing their best to keep the children in their routine at the fair right now.
Please pray for wisdom for the team of doctors that was called in to examine Carter. There is a risk of paralysis (or worse) from the surgery. We know the Great Physician can do so much more than any team of doctors and that is our prayer. However, if He chooses for Carter to go through the surgery we know He can protect his little body from any negative risks.
Also pray for Carter's parents, Jeff and Sandra Dunbar, and his three siblings, Wesley, Faith and Luke.
Thank you for lifting Carter up to the Father whenever you think of him and his family.
