Today Jonah's numbers are good. They had to put him back on the ossilating ventilator because of a little fluid accumulation in one lung. They are hoping to put him back on the regular ventilator tonight. Amy and Scott are able to put their hands under him and hold him on his bed. His blood pressure actually goes down when they do this. He likes it!! If Jonah is able to do well on the regular ventilator for 3-4 days they will remove his kidneys and have him on dialasis. We are so thankful that they can even consider doing this. Jonah is improving when no doctors thought that he would. Praise the Lord. Please continue to pray for his healing. It is so awesome to see the Lord at work and know he is holding little Jonah. Please also pray for rest for Scott and Amy. It is my prayer that each hour they sleep would count as two. Continue to pray for wisdom for the doctors and nurses. Thank you so much for continuing to pray!

Precious Precious Baby Jonah, we are praying for you.
This was a message sent to me from my grandfather, a retired pastor for more than 50 years. He said to me that in prayer to Jesus, he came to believe that the name JONAH had been divinely chosen....Jonah....declared dead by the fisherman but yet alive by God's mercy....DEAD BUT ALIVE....he prays this prayer to God for baby Jonah, found in JONAH CH2:
"In my distress I called to the Lord,
and He answered me.
From the depths of the grave I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.
You hurled me into the deep,
into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
swept over me.
I said ' I have been banished from your sight;
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.'
The engulfing waters threatened me.
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.
To the roos of the mountain I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you brought my life up from the pit,
O Lord my God.
When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered you, Lord,
and my prayer rose to you,
to your holy temple.
Those who cling to worthless idols
forfeit the grace that could be thers.
But I, with a song of thanksgiving,
will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
Salvation comes from the Lord."
This is Jonah's prayer....let it be ours as well

13People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." 16And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
Jesus' hands are holding you baby Jonah.
Last night before Alyse and I left, Scott and Amy were also moving his little hands and feet, arms and legs and exercising him a bit. It's good for him and he likes it! What a blessing to see smiles on their faces again. Keep praying for the new ventilator and the Dr.s wisdom for what's next. Our God is the God of hope and we are continually thanking Him for what He has done and is doing for Jonah. Nancy (Nana)
Praise the Lord, that He alone is able to sustain His children in times of trial. It is exciting to see an entire family relying so totally on His strength, knowing the testimony this is to all those who come into contact with you all. We are praying for God's perfect touch on Jonah, and for that peace that passes understanding for all of you.

I am so thankful for this day! This is the seventh day that I get to spend time with my big brother, my wonderful sister in law and my perfect nephew. There truly is no other place I'd rather be.
The Lord's presence is surrounding Jonah Scott as he rests in his arms. I am beyond blessed to be around it.
Words really cannot describe how thankful I am for everyone's prayers.

Hi, even though we don't know Amy, Scott or Jonah personally, we're so glad to hear that he's doing well. I hope he's back on the regular ventilator soon. We've been thinking about you all a lot.
