wait in silence

"Those who know your name trust in you, for you, oh Lord, do not abandon those who search for you." -Psalm 9:10

This weekend was a little bit of a coasting type of weekend. Jack's blood pressure remains low, and he's fluctuated back and forth with it, but that's about it. Last night, around the time his dialysis circuit was due to be changed, Jack's leg started bleeding, and hasn't really stopped even now, though it is a slow bleed. At first no one was terribly concerned about it, thinking it would slow and stop, and that changing out the bandage constantly would slow the clotting process. Today, however, Jack's saliva was pink, indicating internal bleeding. Dr. Powel believes he does have bleeding inside his body, and is talking about life support should we need it. She also told us that she's sorry. I would accept that if Jack was going to die. But Jack is not going to die, and I reject that. As many people are praying for this baby, Jack is going to show all of us a giant miracle in his tiny body, and all will know that God saved this child. It isn't the doctors who are so willing to give up. God is going to save this baby.

Thank you for your prayers to this point. Angi and I appreciate them more than we can say. Please now pray that Jack's pressure would come back up so that there would be no concern or risk for heart failure. Please pray that Jack's body would resume clotting the way it is supposed to clot, and also that his normal blood functions would continue. Pray that he doesn't get any infections or other organ complications from this long process. And please pray for us, that we would continue to be strong for each other, and that we can be there for Gaige. Thank you and God bless you.

"For God alone, Oh my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him." -Psalm 62:5-6
