Praise - Update

Mommy is on her way back to the Children's House now with Jacob - and they made it back in time to see Santa.

Jacob received a good report so far, but the doctors want to check out the cultures and blood work. We should have a better idea tomorrow when he has his appointment with Dr. G.

Thank you for praying.

God answers prayers.

Mommy and Daddy

In the ER

Waiting for the Doctors. Should be here in the next 20 min. Thank you for praying.

Additional Prayer Request

Jacob is currently with Mommy, waiting for the doctors to come check him out. In the meantime, we found out that there is a lot of sickness at James' school. Please pray that the Lord will place a hedge of protection around he and Daddy so that they can both return to Baltimore next week.

Also, please pray for protection around Courtney and Jacob, too, as Mommy noticed several children in the ER with possible stomach viruses.

May the Lord protect us and keep us, according to his perfect will.

Mommy and Daddy

Prayer Request

Please pray for Mommy and Jacob this morning. They are heading to the ER because of the redness/infection and a possible adverse reacation to the antibiotic. Dr. G is at the hospital today, but likely in surgery. We are thankful that he is here, though.

In addition, Santa is coming for a visit today at 4 pm to the Children's House and we know Jacob would love to be back there in time to see him. But we certainly are most concerned about his health and healing, even if that means getting admitted again to the hospital.

Thank you for praying.

"Standing on the promises of Christ, our Saviour"

Update - Prayer and Praise

Mommy and Jacob went to the hospital today (Sunday) to get the SP tube site checked out.  The doctor is pretty sure that he has developed an infection, so they prescribed a five day antibiotic.  We are thankful that the hospital pharmacy was open today and we were able to get the meds and supplies needed to treat the infection.  The next closest pharmacy was over two blocks away and not in the best part of town.  

Please continue to pray that the infection will heal and that Jacob will get a good report from Dr. G on Tuesday.  

Praise The Lord for all the seemingly small things that have occurred during the midst of the infection challenge.  These include not having to go to the ER, having a nurse who on site at the Children's House (she has been the volunteer manager at the house over the Thanksgiving weekend), having the hospital pharmacy open on a Sunday afternoon and the aforementioned praise about getting the meds and supplies needed.  

God is good.
