PRAYER and PRAISE!!!!!

PRAYER: Milton's dad (Milton Sr) was put in the hospital yesterday. He is on a vent in the ICU in Jackson. He has fluid in one lung and pneumonia in the other. His labs were not good yesterday. The Dr. told us that he could not promise that Mr. Milton would make it through this because he is critically ill. If he does, it will be a very long road for him. This Dr. is upfront and just tells you like it is. They have not said exactly what is wrong yet. They just know that his labs were not good. He was very dehydrated and his kidneys were not working properly yesterday. They have started functioning today though. I don't think they are functioning as much as they should but better than yesterday. His labs came back better today as well. He has a wonderful set of Dr.s on his case. I have faith that he is going to pull through. Mr. Milton will be 77 in April. Please pray for him. Also, please pray for Gale(Milton's mom), Genia (Milton's sister) my sweet husband and the rest of the family. This is extremely hard on them. Mr. Milton has only gotten to see little Addyson 1 time because he is in the nursing home. We hope and pray that he gets to see her many many more times when he goes back!! I thank you for your prayers! I will keep you updated!!

PRAISE: In a previous blog I asked you to pray for my friend Michelle and her baby Sara Grace. I finally got to see them yesterday. They were transferred back to the NICU in Jackson from Vandy. Sara Grace is the most amazing baby. She has really come such a long way. The Dr.s told Michelle that Sara Grace would only have a 20% chance of EVER eating. The Dr. was ready to put a peg tube in. Michelle pleaded with the Dr.s to let her try a bottle. Sara Grace took the bottle. Also, the Dr.s told Michelle that Sara Grace had nerve damage and would not ever walk. They did an ultrasound and found NO nerve damage. AMAZING!!!!!! Sara Grace was supposed to get to go home today. She will go home on 3 monitors, oxygen and more meds than I could name. She will have a VERY hard and long road ahead of her. She has to have another heart surgery in June. This little miracle has proven over and over that she is a fighter!! Please continue to pray for them. I will keep you updated on her progress.

I know that God is and will continue to work in Mr. Milton and little Sara Grace. HE has proven over and over what a wonderful God he is. PRAISE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so sorry to hear about Milton's dad! We will definitely keep him in our prayers and just remember God is GOOD and he will be watching over him in the hospital and thru his recovery. We will also continue to keep Sara Grace in our prayers as she continues to win each battle that is in front of her. Stay strong and keep us updated on what is going on.
