Prayer

*Updated* Brittany is home from the hospital. She and Matt opted not to do anything invasive that could possibly hurt Oliver. She will be working from home part time until she reaches a safe enough date to deliver Oliver, braving the pain with minimal meds. Modified bed rest will hopefully help and she can get some much needed rest for the next few weeks. I told her to sleep now... because when Oliver makes his appearance, she will be shocked at how tired she'll be :)! Thanks for your prayers!

And Bayler goes to clinic today... pray for good results!

If you follow me on twitter or facebook, you know I asked for prayer for my family yesterday. I didn't specifically mean just Jon, but we certainly needed prayer as well... here is an update on my little wild man and more prayer requests:

Jon-Jon saw the pediatric GI doctor in Columbia yesterday. I can't say that I was overly assured we are on a way to figuring out what is going on with him, however we ARE taking slow steps in the right direction. He had a complete blood panel taken to check for Celiac Disease, vitamin/mineral deficency, and a few other things. In the mean time (until our visit 2 weeks from now) we are trying probiotics again and this time I am keeping a complete food/stool diary to review on October 6th. He did mention toddler diaherria which sent my blood pressure raging... diapers like Jon's are NOT simply toddler diaherria. Especially when they have been this way for months and months. Anyway, I feel positive about the steps we are taking and hope we can have some answers soon!

Please pray for my sister, Brittany. She is 32 weeks pregnant with little Oliver and it turns out her right kidney is failing. She is having complications with testing and such because she doesn't want to harm the baby. They believe they can put a stint in to buy her some time so Oliver can "cook" a little more... however, she is in a lot of pain and is currently in the hospital so they can manage it and figure out the best options for her and little Ollie. I will keep you updated as I know more. The good news is she lives in Charleston so she has amazing doctors and if Oliver had to come early, his care would be top notch.

And we are always praying for our Bayler. Please continue to pray that the cancer stays away and he thrives as he tries to "get back to normal" soon!

Thank you for praying! We KNOW God is bigger than all of these things and He is in control. Truly comforting... and my life line during times like these!
