"Update on baby A"
Dear Doves,
Following is an email from my brother regarding his grandson (my
great nephew) baby A. Please continue to pray. Prayer is what we
are leaning on right now! I know I will never meet the many who
pray until we are in the air but your faithfulness to lift a
sister in Christ's family member to the Father means everything!
Thank you!

A tough morning, this morning as our little
guy seems to take periodic steps backward. The latest MRI
(results just in), show additional brain damage in 2 new sites
as well as the original one. We can’t figure out
yesterday’s MRI that showed no damage – other than they suspect
it was just a failed test. Who knows? Well, only God
knows, but we’re holding onto faith and hope. His lungs
are better, and that’s a good thing. His breathing is
stronger, though still assisted. Unfortunately, his
movements are more pronounced today, and this seems kind of
cyclical. The challenge is to not surrender to fear when
things appear to worsen. We trust Him with our faith and
our little grandson, no matter what. In the metaphor of
the storm, we don’t want to put too much stock in the occasional
tsunami, or the occasional smooth patch. Our faith is
neither in storms nor in good weather. Either way, our
eyes are on the Lord. So, it’s back to our knees, prayer
partners. Your support continues to be a great source of
courage. Pray for the parents as they absorb this latest
blow, and as they try to figure out what to do about the
“ordinary” side of their lives – work, bills, home, etc. –
during this marathon.
