Day Two - John

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2007 09:20 AM, CDT
Yesterday was a hard day. Kyle's Bloodsugar was high for most of the day,... to fight that they give him insulin mixed with sugar water,... which is sort of an oxymoron, so it has a circular affect,... the only other option is to mix it with saline, but his sodium levels are too high as well, which led to potassium levels being too high. At one point, it was really a hard moment we were dealing with,... the team decided to put sterile water into his stomach to help hydrate him and to hopefully bring some of these levels down. It was a little time, a little stress, and a lot of prayer, but we did see the levels come down. This was a real gift from God. Hurdle one... that was our first 'three steps back' they talked about. They told us from square one that his skin was very gellatinous, (not fully formed and ready to retain water for itself and be the organ barrier to help prevent and fight disease away,... etc) We were also told and are reminded daily that the statistics of little guys kyle's age that actually make it are very low... so he is working from much negative equity. Over night, the bloodsugars went down to some of the lowest levels I have seen, which is amazing as well. His potassium and sodium are still a little high, but lower. We are praying right now for these levels to continue to fall into a healthy range.
We are watching and praying that his blood pressure remains at a good place so not to stress his brain with too much and cause brain bleeds. This is one of the major things that these little ones have to be concnerned about.
There are so many things that can be caused from this.

I am specifically asking God (who CAN DO THIS)
to supernaturally and powerfully form his organs and skin faster than science can understand. I thank God for medicine and these teams of people who are giving Kyle the best care, but we need a supernatural outpouring of healing and health and growth and nurture and protection.
I truly believe God can do this. I genuinely want this to glorify Him in the most powerful way possible, and to see people's view of God expand at the wonder of God through Kyle. I want to see people's hearts soften to God through Kyle,... but I also just want Kyle to be healthy and well
( for us )... so please press deep into the Holy Spirit on Kyle's behalf. Pray and believe. Ask God to pour out His power as He did at pentacost. Ask God to have people stand and be amazed at His power through Kyle and how HE (God) ministers to that little guy.

more later.

Our Story

This story begins with 5 people. John, Kelly, Jadon, Jack, and Kyle (he is only 23 weeks old... and he is still safely tucked away in his mommy's belly) In an hour's time Kyle made his way into the world. 1 pound, 3 ounces- 11 and a half inches long. This family will never be the same. This child is a warrior. He has the spirit of a Lion, and more courage than a whole pride. He is fierce, and fearless- and he is teaching us to fear the Lord- and to believe that God is in our midst and healing even now. Join us as pray, as we praise, and as we journey through this life as lovers of God and all His glory.
