Sunday Afternoon Update

Lindsay's infection is getting better and her numbers are all improving.
We are waiting to hear a confirmation on her bypass surgery tomorrow.
The surgery would be 5-6 hours barring no complications. This does not rule out the possibility of her being able to have the Berlin heart or the transplant, but if it works, could possibly help with her heart.
Shea, the nurse caring for Lindsay today, is on the transplant team, and gave us some good information. Pray for wisdom for the team.

Another baby passed away this afternoon. We were able to get a copy of Marilyn Heavilin's book, ROSES IN DECEMBER into their hands. Pray the Lord will use Marilyn's story to be an encouragement. (Check out Marilyn's website: http://marilynheavilin.com/ to find out more about her story and ministry.)

Thanks for praying.

Dear Weltes and Groens,
Thanks for giving my book to the grieving parents. I know you know I'm so sorry they had a need for the book, but I am so grateful you had a book to give them. Our hearts are with you.

In His mercy,

Glen and Marilyn

Dana and I have been visiting my family in Caribou, ME; my parents don't have internet so we've been getting updates via Ainsley about twice each day. Dana even took his laptop and drove "in town" to sit in the library parking lot so that he could check on things. We have been praying for you all from "the County." My parents and my college roommate send their love.

I am glad to hear that the infection is better. Wouldn't it be AMAZING if the bypass surgery fixed the heart completely...

I will be praying for all of you.

"Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his HELP, whose HOPE is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and ALL that therein is: which keepeth TRUTH forever:
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: The LORD RAISETH them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous."
Psalm 146:5-8

Lots of prayers from the NJ Bits. We love you guys & hope you had a special day together.
Lindsay, we are praying God will continue to strengthen your body and bring healing. If surgery is a go for tomorrow then even more prayers for those caring for you & for the surgery to be a success to improve the function of your little heart & for you to continue to make progress!
Jon & Laura, we pray for daily renewal & rest in HIM & His strength. Remember to abide under HIS wings. (Psalm 91)
