Praying

we are once again praying for baby Jaden. Jaden is our nephew- he was born with a list full of problems. One kidney doesn't work, his esophagus wasn't connected to his stomach, he had 5 holes in his heart.... Well Sunday night Jaden stopped breathing several times. Luckily his mom, by trade, is a respiratory therapist so she performed CPR on J. He now is in isolation at the hospital with the superbug and pneumonia. He is also still on a ventilator and not fully breathing on his own yet. We are praying for their whole family that Jaden gets well and that no other family member gets sick. Ben and Jaden are only a month apart. Jaden never leaves our prayers. Ben and I say several a day for him . And then when Jon gets home we say some more together.

On another note - Jon and I are finally back at Church and now want to be more involved in it. It is so nice to connect together spiritually once again. We knew we had the same values and beliefs but now it is great to take about them on a daily basis together. We are now making an effort to be more involved in our community and in others lives. It is a great first step in our life.

So we ask you to keep Jaden and his family (and all the nurses and doctors!) in your prayers too. He's a strong little guy that's been through a lot in his 3 months of life so far. This song gives me hope. It was my favorite song growing up in church. I love it! I still sing it and get a little teary-eyed.

{Lord, you love our child as You love all children,
Bring healing to our child who is not well.
Stay by his side and comfort him through this trying time.
Keep us ever mindful of Your loving presence
Bless us with Your powerful healing and comfort us also.
Thank You for hearing our prayer!}
