7. Philip (14, of Gideon and Sarah) (PL 39:38): During a recent water scooter accident the Lord miraculously saved him from being fatally injured or drowning. His recovery has been very swift, and the Lord provided the funds for the hospital bills and surgery.

North America:
11. Vanessa (11, of Isaiah and Fe) (PL 39:70): "Ten days after the car accident where she sustained serious injuries and temporary memory loss, Vanessa was able to continue with her schooling. Her ability to remember--which the pediatrician said could be impaired by the blow to her head--was almost intact in only ten days! Also, her collarbones are healing quickly and she's able to write for short periods of time. Her left hip may be dislocated, so she limps a bit and has pain in her legs, but this has not stopped her from playing outside during the recent snowfall we had here. As soon as we have the results of the x-rays, this problem can be easily corrected. Thank You Jesus!"
12. Sara: Leg pains are less severe.
13. James (baby, of Micaiah and Genty) (PL 36:62): His lungs have progressed very well, and he was finally able to get off the portable oxygen tank which he had to be always attached to. He now only needs to use it at night, during sleep, just to be safe.

He has also been getting a lot of feeling back in his bladder and bowels, which has been a real miracle. David now walks daily at home with the aid of a walker, and will most likely not need to use his wheelchair much at all."
16. Abby (PL 39:76): Successful operation to correct a urinary tract problem. The Lord touched the hearts of the hospital administrators to donate their services and the entire cost of the operation.
17. Steven (PL 39:99): "His eczema cleared up the same day his name came out on the Prayer List, and stayed clear for two weeks! A real miracle as it hasn't been clear for months. It is beginning to break out a little again, so please keep praying! Thanks."

23. Anna (9, of James and Lily) (PL 36:131): "Our Down's syndrome daughter, Anna, is doing better since being on the Prayer List.
