Day One - John

Thanks for visiting our page! Here, hopefully you can read
about what is happening with our little guy day to day.
Please be in prayer for him. We love you all and appreciate your overwhelming support of prayer and concern. Please continue to pray fervant prayers for our little Kyle!
Monday was a crazy morning... Kyle decided it was time to make his entrance... Not exactly when we THOUGHT he was coming, but,... like all Sherrill boys,... they have their own way of thinking! Kyle was born at 10:01 am in the morning.
Kelly was up for the normal get the kids ready for preschool morning, breakfasts, lunches packed, somehow get Jadon and Jack to dress and eat etc,... She hadn't felt real well for a couple of days, but never thought anything dramatic about it. Monday am was a little different in that there was some real back pain involved and some bleeding, so she went to the doctors office while I worked on getting the boys ready and to school. To make a long story short by the time I got to the shcool to drop of the boys, Kelly called and had fully dialated and was being rushed to the hospital in her doctor's truck!
I did make it to his office in time to take her and her doctor followed quickly after.
Kyle came very quickly from emergency c section. He was a little less developed than they hoped. He weighed 1 lb and 2 ounces and is 11.5 inches long. He is very small and very fragile. His little system isn't quite ready for all of this, but never the less, he is trying his best, with the help of teams of doctors and nurses, and more importantly God and a host of angels. I know the Holy Spirit's presence is all over him, simply because in the words of a wise pre teen I met once,... God created Kyle because he WANTED to. Everyday seems like it will present a new battle, so every day we wait and pray. For updates, check the journal page.

Thank you for doing this site and thank you Kyle for your amazing display of God's Real Glory! By chance, I have become involved with two twin baby girls who were just born at 24 weeks. Mom is 19' and single and too afraid to even visit the girls. I called and told her about Kyle (whom I heard about from a cousin of yours...this all happend the day Kyle was coming home). His story gave her the courage to have hope for her two little ones and because of Kyle..they each now have names...Faith and Vanna(God's child). They are in the fight now and we know that God created them because "He wanted to". Thank you for allowing your child to bring others hope. Please pray these girls and for thier mom, Valerie. Both are bleeding in the brain and have been given slim prognosis...just knowing about Kyle and what he overcame keeps them hoping.God bless you.

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.
