Monday Morning Update

Good morning. I have been waiting to post this morning until we have some more concrete answers for you, so this is what we have so far:

1. The chest xray shows improvement in the left lung, but a spot on the right lung.

2. No further word on the infection.

3. They had to put a stitch in the left hand where the IV site was bleeding. That seems to be better.

4. They started to back her off of ECMO, but had a challenge with regulating her fluids. They have put her back on full ECMO.

The verses from the Lord for this morning: "Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You! I want to be without care. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God ... Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith? HAVE FAITH IN GOD! (Psalm 34:9-10; Psalm 84:11-12; Mark 4:40; Mark 11:22)

Keep your posts coming! And thank you for your prayers. We love and appreciate you.

Jon & Laura,

Laura, talked to your Dad Friday, the first I had heard of your situation. The Lord had lead me to pray for the Welte’s, but I had no idea as to why, it is now clear. We will continue to hold you before our Father in prayer. His ways are not always our ways, but His ways are always in His children’s best interest.

Thank you for letting us see your beautiful little girl yesterday. God has surely given you strength and comfort through all of this. Jon, to see how God has taken away your fear of hospitals and the paraphenalia that go along with them is amazing. You are so good watching out for her every need and making sure she's being tended to properly. I praise God for the witness you all are to everyone around you. WE will pray today for God's continued strength and healing for LIndsay and all the concerns you have. Linday bear, you are loved and God is watching over you.

Jon & Laura,

Thanks for your example. I am so impressed with grace and peace you both have demonstrated during this drawn-out time at the hospital. We are thinking of you all often in MO and praying often too. Caitlin and I love you much and axiously wait for each new update on the blog. Your strength through this trial has helped to put the "stress" of my "hard" semester in perspective.

May you both continue to recieve grace upon grace as you wait on the Lord. John 1:16

Hang in there!

Much love,
Bones

Jon & Laura: I continue to pray for you, Tanner and Lindsay. Today when I opened my Bible it opened to: Colossians and it says: May God our Father shower you with blessings and fill you with His peace. Colossians 1:2. And that is my prayer for you today.

God Bless You
