A Couple of Prayer Requests

Hey I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. It actually snowed here in Alabama Christmas day. I did not get out in it though, just stuck my head out the door to look at it. I'll write a post with some pics about our Christmas later though. As for right now this is the second day that we have been able to get out of the house after being snowed in for a couple of days. I am telling you that I am officially tired of the snow!

I have a lot to share with you all but for now I am stopping by to ask you if you would say a couple of prayers for a couple of people.

First I have a friend who's grandson really needs our prayers. His name is Jayden and he is improving some everyday but has a long way to go. So please remember him.

If you are at all familiar with the Siestas then you probably have already heard about this next prayer request.

This is Joanne. The other day her daughter found her collapsed next to her treadmill. She had had a stroke. She is only 38 years old and the mother of two. For more details and updates about Joanne you can visit her blog The Simple Wife or you can hop over to Mustard Seeds. Right now she is a asleep. She has had two surgeries and they are just waiting for her to wake up. I didn't know Joanne or wasn't even familiar with her blog before her stroke. But I do know a couple of very good friends of hers. They are very close to her and they are also hurting. So please remember Joanne's family and friends during this time. She really needs prayers right now.

Have a blessed day!
 

Baby Jarrod Update!!!

Hello Everyone,

Remember this post about Baby Jarrod? Well I have an update. Baby Jarrod has Esophageal artesia that is basically where the esophagus is not formed properly. In Baby Jarrod's case the top of his esophagus isn't attached to his throat and it also is not attached to his stomach.

Now the doctor's say that it is treatable. He will have to have several surgeries to correct this. They will have to stretch the esophagus but they have to do this in stages. He is breathing on his own. But he is still little and need our prayers. He is 2 months premature and weighs only 3 lbs.

His mother got to come home but you know it is sad when you can't leave the hospital with your baby. Please pray for Baby Jarrod and for his mom, Miranda and dad, Brandon.

As I mentioned in my last post, Miranda has been a friend of my daughters for quite a while. Now like all friendships they have had their up and downs. They have always been friends but at times in their lives they have been close and other times they haven't. They are now related by marriage and enjoy the fact that they are "related" now.

Miranda's mother and I have always been friends. She is someone I know that I can count on. She has put Baby Jarrod in the Lord's hands and is just asking for everyone's prayer.

I have talked to my friend and they are grateful for all the prayers that we will send up to the good Lord for Baby Jarrod. Please remember this family. Until next time

Have a blessed day!
