Mom reported to me this morning that the last time she looked at the clock before falling asleep, it was 10:30. Her and dad both rested well until about 3 AM. Thank you for joining us in battle on dad's behalf. God is good. He hears the cries of His people.
Dad is getting the PICC line now. The nurse is briefing us on the risks and benefits. The bottom line is this...Dad needs nutrition for strength.
A doctor was in this morning and accidentally poked a hole in dad's incision. Understandably, this was painful for him, but it turned out to be a blessing. The oozing that resulted actually relieved some of the pressure dad was feeling in his abdomen. Imagine that.
If you can, join us in praying together again this morning at 10:30 EST on dad's behalf. Strength, healing, and peace...in Jesus' name.
I will post an update later in the day.

ReplyDeleteJonas, Anne, LaVale & LaWonna,
ReplyDeleteOur thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We pray for peace, comfort and undisturbed rest (yes, that will take a miracle in the hospital, BUT ... our God is capable of doing miracles!) and complete healing for Jonas. Anne, LaVale & LaWonna, we pray the Lord blesses you with peace in your hearts and strength as you stand along side Jonas and advocate for him. He is so fortunate to have you all by his side.
Love to you all! Kevin & Nicole Hostetter, and our crew of boys ... Jackson, Isaac, Tyler & Parker

ReplyDelete"Don't you know that the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all earth? He never grows faint or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strength to the weak. Even youths will become exhausted, and young men will give up. But those who wait on the Lord will find NEW strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint!" (Isaiah 41 28-31)
Be strong and know we are with you,
Brad
I feel your burden during this trying time. I am praying for you all.
ReplyDeleteLean on God and each other for strength. Remember, this has not taken God by surprise; He is in control. I pray that He would give you peace. I pray that He would give wisdom and skill to those caring for Jonas.
Blessings,
Jeff Blevins

Dear Jonas,
ReplyDeleteAs we were praying this morning, God gave me the words "seasoned warrior". Jonas, you truly are a mighty warrior as you care for and bless those around you. In my life, I have met few people that have inspired me as you have. I pray good health and rest for you, Anne, LaVale and LaWonna. Please know how much you are loved. Cathy (FRCC)
Our family is praying for you. (We are friends of Cathy from Dover)
ReplyDeleteHey everyone. I just want you to know that I am praying that God gives you all strength through this! I know how emotionally straining this can be, especially having to run through everything again to be able to post it on this blog. Thank you so much for keeping us all updated!

Hey Jonas. . . we're praying for you here at CPYU. God is gracious and good.
