the daily ups and downs begin
i don't have much time to write this-- but wanted to say that our baby is stable today, still breathing well, but his kidneys are not functioning well. if they do not start to do so, his potassium level will continue to rise, and his heart will not be able to handle it. we are not sure exactly what God wants for our child. we are torn between praying for these specific little requests to be healed, and allowing things to 'take their course'. that may sound insensitive, but if the Lord would like to take our little guy to be with Him, we don't want to prevent that merciful act in any way. at the same time, we believe that this small request is no problem for God to fix. so we pray His Will be done. We pray, "Lord have Mercy", in whatever way You should see fit! Whatever God chooses for our son will be His Mercy poured out. . . . we have been thinking a lot about this concept, and will be talking more about that in the coming posts. pray how you feel led!

I too was struggling with the "between aspect" of what to pray for until I came upon the prayer that strengthens either path - like you did - that the highest and best divine interests of your baby and your family be served, and that you, and all of us, be supported in surrendering to that with awareness and strength and love, whether he leaves us now or thrives now. And that, dear ones, is what I pray for you. (You already have the wisdom, faith and good humor so I'll add thanks for that!)...xoS
That is exactly how I have been praying. I know God can do the miracle in a heart beat, and He will if He desires. I pray for God's strength and power in this situation. I pray for all of you! I love you!!
Melissa,
Your sis in law (Kelly) sent me your link. She just so happens to be my sister! I just wanted to let you know, that my heart is aching for you and your hubby. And we are thinking of you and praying for a miracle for your little guy. He does still do miracles and I am eager to see what He's going to do in little Brown's life!
In Christ,
Katie
