Thursday morning update

Good morning.

This morning there have been several more blood clots.  One of them was found leaving the ECMO machine headed back to Lindsay - so praise the Lord that it was caught.  Because of the development of clots they are going to have to change something with the way they are giving her blood.

Thanks so much for your prayers.  They mean so much.  Please continue to pray for the doctors, nurses, and technicians as well as the family.  They are doing a great job and need your prayers for strength and wisdom as well.

Ruthie & I just came from morning prayer time and prayed for Lindsay and for all of you.

Praying that the Lord will do, "exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think..."

Love and hugs,

Laura and Jon, as I read of the family's love and admiration for the staff at Boston Children's I think that it is mutual. You all are a blessing and encouragement to them.
We continue to pray for "Lindsay Bear" and Tanner and you all , the staff and all who work at BCH.
May this day be a day of blessing for all esp. your daughter.
Love you all so very much. LVS

It is so wonderful to read over and over of all the little and huge evidences of God's grace and mercy at work in the details of all of your lives there at the hospital and most definitely through Lindsay.

I am drawn, even more, to my knees to worship and praise Him for who He is and thank Him for sustaining all of you in the moment-by-moment, up close details of everyday where you are.

I remember well the daily routine that Sesk and I settled into as we did all we could do, and as we watched over and prayed over the hospital staff doing all that they do, day after day after day without complaining. Obseving the way they were being used by a God they do not know, was awesome.

They were His hands and His feet because all they had was from Him.

Seeing the pictures and hearing how you all are having the same experience of God's sustaining hand reminds all of us, once again of how precious life is.
We get to see God, active and present and alive in all that you are going through and in the way that, we, His children rally for one another. Amazing grace, how it is!!!
How amazing it is that we get to see Him moving in our prayers in all the ways that He sees fit to move.

We wait expectantly for the next thing that He will do in, through and FOR Lindsay; in and around all of you, and through all the staff caring for her. (From the doctors to the person cleaning her room.)

May He be glorified right now today, for He is God and He is good.

Thank you for taking the time to post the updates and give us the specific details for prayer, petition and thanksgiving.

May God bless you all today with more peace -peace that you absolutely cannot understand or explain. Receive and know that you are not alone.

Hear us praying in the spirit for you, united as one voice before the God of all mercy,comfort, healing and wisdom.

Know that you are surrounded by angels (and not those wimpy litle cherubs either :-). Mighty warrior angels are standing guard over all of you because you are the Kings kids.

You remain on our hearts and in our prayers, and people at work ask daily about Lindsay. Word continues to travel, and more and more people are praying for the beloved little girl at Children's Hospital in Boston. Aaron and I can't wait to see you all on Saturday!

We love you, and will keep joining with the throng of saints crying out to the King almighty for healing for Lindsay and strengh and comfort for each of you up there in Boston.

Laura,

Hearing your voice on the phone at the Hymn Sing today was really wonderful, though I have to admit to using up quite a few Kleenex in the process.

We are continuing to pray for Lindsay and for the whole family, as well as the medical staff.
With love,
Cherri Pavuk

This blog is for Lindsay that precious child with the beautiful blue eyes.

Lindsay, you are a "tropper". Not many adults would relish going through what you are. The Lord is doing great things for you through the caring dedicate Medical Team assigned to you--and I am glad--along with many others.

Lindsay, you are precious to the Lord, your parents, big brother, grandparents, and all of us who are praying for uou. Years from now you will be able to tell others what marvelous things the Lord did for you when you were only two years old.

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of
the world.

Love,
Miss Mary Ellalrwrimbp

amazing wonderful grace PEACE are all attributes that God is showing in and TO and through you all to HIS glory - no matter what His perfect will may be. I hope and pray Lindsay lives a long and bountiful life - giving witness to God's glory - not BCH's or any man's glory.
