Returned from the hospital about 5 pm - having been there much more than the German hospital wanted us around. Coleman is in ICU, on a ventilator, receiving blood and chemo, and heavily sedated.
Despite the dire nature of Coleman's circumstances, not one word of this message should cause any to give up hope.
There is lots of fight still left in the boy - they had to restrain and sedate him because he became so disoriented (due to the liver issues according to the doctor) that he fought off the nurses and bit one of them. His liver continues to be the critical concern - and transplants are apparently not an option in cases of leukemia.
Please continue to pray - Coleman is stubborn and still fighting. We cannot fail him at this hour.

God is great, He loves Coleman and we ask our Father in Heaven to restore his health and continue to give Eric and Belinda strength. We ask in Jesus' name.
ReplyDeleteEric and Belinda we love you and pray for God's blessings. Sean & Donna
Celeste and I just finished praying for Coleman and the 2 of you. God is the Great Physician and can heal Coleman, if that is His will. "for him to live is Christ, and to die is gain"... We pray that God may be glorified in all this.

ReplyDeleteI just put out an VMI prayer request for Coleman and both of you. I did include the blog address to keep people updated. So you may get responses from some unknown people.
Praying that God will bless all three of you. Bob VMI
Becky and I are praying for Coleman's recovery. We find so often that God stretches us right to the limit before delivering us. In this, we know He is our God. We know that He is Coleman's and our God no matter how this turns out. We pray that God's glory will shine through these circumstances. We especially pray for Eric and Belinda. God grant them peace and comfort, strength, health, and safety. Rom 8:26-28

The Sirmon Family
Teresa Sirmon called and told me about your son. I want you to know that we, and our church family, are earnestly praying for Coleman's deliverance. "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." Isaiah 41:10
ReplyDeleteDearest Belinda,
ReplyDeleteSo often we have no idea the impact that our lives have on others. I've often wondered if you had any idea how yours impacted me.
I cannot count the number of times that I have thought of you over the past 5 years while we've been in AZ. So many times I've told others about you...about your heart for the lost, and your desire to disciple believers...how so often you put others above yourself because you saw the great need for the Gospel to go forth in Spirit and in Truth.
Without knowing it, you have been such an example to me!
Thank you for your life, Belinda..for your faith and for you obedience to Christ.
I count it a great privilege to lift you all before the throne of grace, and will continue to do so.
My prayer will be that God will be so glorified through all that you, Eric, and Coleman do and say...that there will be German nurses and doctors in heaven one day because they saw Jesus Christ in you.
2 Cor 1:2-4 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed {be} the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
In the Love of Christ Jesus,
Jesica Womack
Debra, our kids, and I are continuing to pray with you for Coleman's healing and recovery.
ReplyDeleteOur unceasing prayers are with you all and as I watch the prayer chains spread like wild fire I know God is holding Coleman close. I'm praying for a miracle and that you find rest and comfort that can only come through our heavenly Father. God often speaks to us through amazing "coincidences", this is the scripture reference from a devotional I read today..."Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving." Colossians 4:2
ReplyDeleteThanking God for your entire family and the wonderful witnesses you are...
the Coweta Smiths
I cried for the first time in a long time after hearing of Coleman's sickness. Amy and I are in fervent and constant prayer for a full recovery for Coleman. May the Lord ease his pain and give comfort to the entire Hinkefent family. We praise God for his answers to prayer thus far. We love you guys and want you to know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteLove In Christ,

Continually asing God for a miracle healing of Coleman and the peace that passes understanding for the two of you and extended family. Much prayer went up for all of you today at church meeting and will continue. Know that you are all loved.

ReplyDeleteKeep fighting Coleman and be strong. The next couple of days will be the toughest you have ever faced, but you are a child of God. He moves though you and He will protect you. Do not be scared. Trust in the Lord, because He loves you so much.
ReplyDelete"He gives strength to those who are tired and more power to those who are weak." -Isaiah 40:29

Coleman,Belinda, Eric,
ReplyDeletePlease know that we are praying for Coleman and your family, Coleman is never far from our thoughts. He means the world to us and we have come to love him as a son that he will soon be. He entered Jordan's life and turned on a light that has shined brightly since then. If ever two people were meant to be together it's Coleman and Jordan. I now know the true meaning of soul mates. There love endures all. Coleman please be strong and keep fighting, know that we love you.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil 4:13
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil 4:19

Coleman, my pied piper.
ReplyDeleteYou are always the one who brings people together. Here you are, once again, bringing people together, some of whom haven't spoken in years, to pray for you. Be strong, dear boy, fight hard as I know you can. I am in constant conversation with the Lord on your behalf, asking for more strength, healing, comfort, peace... a miracle.
Belinda and Eric, may our Father grant you, my brother and sister, all the comfort and peace of the shelter of His arms as the hours pass. He still grants miracles. There are many praying for exactly that.
In Faith, Hope, and Love,
Jenifer
