Big week ahead

This week is a big one! On Tuesday JT is going to the pediatrician for a weight check! The pediatrician has already given us permission to stop adding formula to JT's food which is a huge praise! We are praying that he weighs enough continue to not need formula, that we can go to on demand feeding, and that he is just growing appropriately. Jake and I are hoping and praying that he weighs between 8 and 9 lbs! It's a big prayer, but we have a big God!
JT will also be receiving another synagis shot. This is a shot to help prevent RSV. RSV is a lung infection. In older children it is simply a bad cold/cough. If JT gets it, he could die. Sadly RSV is making its way around our church. Please pray with us that Ethan doesn't get it and in turn JT doesn't get it. God has been so amazingly faithful with our health this year, especially Ethan's. So far this winter Ethan has had a runny nose here and there but nothing more. We truly believe that God has a shield of protection around him this winter and we are SO thankful for that! What a huge blessing!
This Wednesday we will also be taking JT for another eye exam. As I am sure many of you remember from my last eye exam post things didn't go well. We know JT can see we just don't know what. We are praying for improvement this time. We are praying that those stubborn blood vessels grow stronger and move forward towards his retina. We are praying that JT isn't going to be blind.
Jake is also visiting a ear nose and throat doctor this week. For the last couple of months he has had something bothering his throat. Please pray for the doctors wisdom. Pray that they are able to determine what is bothering Jake and pray that it is an easy fix.
Lastly on a side note, as you know we got into a fabulous car accident and are now driving a rental :-P Today the rental began to give us problems so we will need to take it back and get another rental. We also learned that it is going to take a month for them to fix the damage done to our car. Pray that the Lord would give me patience. I know its silly to be impatient about a car. I should and am grateful that we even have a rental. It's just frustrating to have so much going on and not be in your own environment. It's just one more thing to worry about. So if you would, pray that our van gets fixed quicker than predicted and that we don't have any more car problems.

Thank you all for joining us on this journey. It is so nice to know that we have people not only praying, but praying specifics. God IS listening! He IS answering! So thank you. Thank you for loving us enough to take time to pray for us, to put for a petition in our name to our loving Father in Heaven.
May God Bless you all!!
