GREAT NEWS on JT!


WOW!!!! What a day! Jake and I have been so blessed today we are just beaming! This morning we were blessed at church by the love and support of friends. Then when we got home we had received love and support through the mail. Later in the evening we had a great visit from our neighbors who just wanted to check in. We have been so cared for, it's just amazing!
Tonight, we went to visit JT, and..... he is off all breathing machines! This is a miracle and a huge praise!! Yesterday when I was visiting him they had just changed him from one breathing machine (sipap) to a lower grade machine (cpap) Then after he was on the cpap for a week (this is what they told me yest.) or so they would lower the level of the machine again. But tonight when we went in, he was off of everything!!! We could see his beautiful face for the first time since he was born. He had a bath and they dressed him in a cute little onesie. Oh he was so perfect!!! The only thing on his face now is simply the tube to feed him. They are watching him for the next day or so to make sure his little body can handle all this hard work, but he has been off all machines for 12 hours now! God is so good friends!! We are so thankful and so encouraged. It can be disheartening receiving hard news day after day so this just picks us up and gives us a huge energy boost!!

Thank you! Thank you for your prayers! God is listening. We hope you will join us once again in praising the Lord for his provision and mercies! YAY GOD!

Love in Christ who gives us strength
Jake and Melissa
