God is bringing him home

Today, Tony and I had a conference with the doctors. Jack had been on a machine called an oscillator, which is a breathing pump that handles all of his breathing for him via little puffs of oxygen. This means that Jack could be sustained indefinitely on this machine whether he is able to breathe on his own or not. We feel like this is man's way of intervening in God's process. If Jack is to get better and be able to breathe on his own (which we 100% believe is God's will,) than he needs to be off this machine. We asked the doctors to put him back on the ventilator. The doctors were very supportive, and agreed that this was an acceptable step in a good direction. The best part is that the doctors with which we spoke do believe in God, and they vaguely suggested that if he is to get better, it will be because God willed it so. So now we are back on the ventilator, and Jack has accepted it well. He is breathing what the machine supports, plus most of the time he will breathe 2-10 breaths a minute in addition to it.

Jack is going to get better; we believe it, and so should you. Please pray for his continued progress. We are specifically praying that the fluid in his tissue would come out, so that there would be less pressure on the lungs and kidneys. Once the fluid comes out, we also need to pray for that clot in his SVC. The clot is the core of everything that is wrong. We know God can and will destroy that clot, and we need that prayed for as well. Please pray for these things specifically. We love Jack and want him to be healed, as we know you do as well. We're intent and focused on bringing him home. We know it's going to happen. We accept and expect it. Thank you for all the support you've given. We appreciate it more than we can say. Do also say a prayer for us as well. We are positive God is bringing him home, but there are a lot of ways in which the enemy is trying to distract us.

Jack is a child of the Most High God. No weapon formed against him will prosper!
