Pray for my friend

I have a friend I met through the OB office I worked in in 2000. We've remained friends through the years. She has a 19-year-old daughter. Her daughter has gotten into drugs and drinking and has an abusive boyfriend. She recently tried to commit suicide twice and my friend had a nervous break down. She then got pneumonia and bronchitis because her immune system was so low. She can't drive because of all the meds she's on and she's on medical leave from work. Her work is giving her a hard time about coming back. I've been trying to take her to her doctor appointments so her husband doesn't have to take so much time off and getting her around for her errands and just being there when she needs someone. She's doing much better but she needs prayer to get through this and for her daughter too. Her daughter of course thinks she knows everything and will not listen to anyone. I think unfortunately she will have to learn some lessons the hard way. I pray that Connie gets to feeling better and can take care of herself and then she can start taking care of Ashlee and just try to be there for her. I know she's of age and thinks she can do what she wants. I pray God keeps her safe from harm from the terrible things she's doing to her body and she sees the light and will get away from the atmosphere and the drugs and alcohol and this boyfriend. Thanks for the prayers in advance!
