A setback

Amy said that Jonah hasn't been feeling well for a couple of days. He has a fever and may have an infection in his blood which can happen because he has a couple of lines into his bloodstream for his meds. They have taken a culture to see. Please pray for our little guy to feel well and for Scott and Amy who are praying about a decision to have him get a tracheotomy. Some doctors feel this would be good for him because his face would be free to move and he could taste milk and he would be rid of the tube in his mouth and down his throat. With the cold and flu season upon us, it is likely that he could get it, and if he was extubated, they might have to intubate him again. So...decisions ahead for Scott and Amy. They need all of our prayers at this time. We thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for baby Jonah and his parents.

Dear Scott and Amy, your Ev Free women's prayer team is "up at and it" on behalf of your precious Jonah, and you! May you be strengthened this day in the Lord's lovingkindness and goodness. And may His peace be your comfort; may His wisdom be your guide for the decisions that must be made. Please tell Jonah that we are watching and praying...and kiss those sweet cheeks for us!

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you guys though we don't know you :)

Keep fighting little guy, and mom and dad - hug each other extra tight. I know you and your doctors are making the best possible decisions for your sweet little man.

Wishing you a good weekend :)
