"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.
