We'll never underestimate Gods Power or the Power of seeing the smiling faces of Good Friends.


Update I can Honestly say Today was one of the hardest days for not only J.T.  But for Christie and Myself in Weeks.  He had a hard night to start things off.  Seems to be dealing with lots of Anxiety and emotions.  They has scheduled an Endoscopy for around lunch so he was NPO which is no food or drink.  We got up and gave him his shower.  Christie and I got checked off so we can give him a shower anytime he wants.  By the time all that is done he's getting prepped for the procedure.  We can already tell he's just hungry, frustrated, and generally upset. We finally get all the paperwork and he has the procedure .  The results of which are actually Great.  He has no problems .  He wakes up and when we walk in he looks at me a says "it did not go well " .  This kid was pulling our leg.  That was really funny .  After this point things take a wrong turn. He has trouble breathing ,  I have to Cough assist, and then his Oxygen level drops.  He gets even more anxious  and is not feeling well at all.  They get to the room and leave the Oxygen on which scares me.  He is very Nauseas and very tired.  He says he has a lot of secretions which freaks him and us out. We are wondering is this thing going backwards?   He takes an small nap.  He is so sick he can not eat.  Not to mention he has a group of friends who had drive 5hours to see him who have unexpectedly waited for 2-3 hours just for a chance to see him.  he finally wakes up and I am unsure if he will even be able to stay awake.  I'm hoping at best hey can see him 30 minutes.  We'll never underestimate Gods Power or the Power of seeing the smiling faces of Good Friends.  As soon as Ethan Crowder, Will Jenkins, Isaac Nickels, , Luke Jarnigan , Josh Drinnon, Stephanie Smith, and Cameron Smith walked in it was like you turned a light switch on.  He perked up and had a great time visiting with them.  They watched the second half of Bench Warmers.  He was able to eat some saltine crackers, a little Tomato Bisque and some Cheese Cake.   The Nausea did return and he had some problems with secretions but he did improve and they did take away the Oxygen.   He got a surprise visit from Jaden Henard and his Parents Phillip and Karen.  You could just see how much Jaden cared for and worried about J.T.  It was so Heart Warming .  He is praying every day.  They also brought some Chocolate covered Strawberries.  He had a couple of more Visitors when Lendon Redwine and his Mother.  They brought him done workout gear and some fresh Peaches.   Let's all pray that he rests better.  Please pray that he can deal with the things he is facing from the mental side.  God only knows what thoughts and questions he has.  We are hoping for things to get back on a more positive track tomorrow's.  We are so thankful for God sending a whole wave of folks when I would have bet he was not up for it that stepped in and brightened his day and ours too.  Thank You Jesus for Providing just what we need at the exact moment.  Pray for  not only His Strength but for Ours.  Pray for U detests ding and most of All God's Grace and Healing.  #fightfor5 wwwthefightfor5.com
