"Not flesh of my flesh nor bone of my bone, but still miraculously my own. Never forget for a single minute,
that you grew not under my heart, but in it."

praying even harder

We just got a call just 15 minutes ago from Mallery who told us that yesterday Jivenson was once again having diarrhea issues and was very weak and not able to feed himself. Today he is unresponsive....the nannies tried gently shaking him awake and calling his name. They took him to the closest hospital and they are putting him on an IV. His unresponsiveness could possibly be due to the fact that he is so dehydrated but the doctor who was seeing him wasn't very forthcoming yet. We are waiting to hear more from Mallery soon. This is incredibly heartbreaking to hear and I am now crying and desperately praying. Please join us in praying for our son!

Prayers

Jivenson is sick....he's been sick for a couple weeks now. He's had blood work done this week and had another specialized draw yesterday; the results of which we will find out on Tuesday. If the results of this 2nd draw are what the first one indicated, it would explain many things. Jivenson had a very rough beginning in life and was practically dead; his family and those in his community called him Lazar, as in Lazarus come back from the dead. God worked a miracle in this child's life.
He has some delays and is very sensitive to things in his environment, among a few other things. Whatever the results are from this blood draw, there is no doubt that he needs to come home and as soon as possible.
We are just waiting now, just waiting and praying. We knew from the moment we looked at Jivenson, that God had a plan and that we were supposed to be a part of that plan. When we look at his face everyday, we don't just see a boy in Haiti, we see our son!
So we are praying for our son and wishing so desperately that we could be the ones taking care of him right now. We will do all we can to help him from afar and we could not be more thankful to Mallery and Frentz with HFAP and Hope House who are working so hard to make sure he is in a healthy environment. She has been calling us to keep us updated and it's such a comfort to know how much he is loved.
Would you join us in praying for our little man?
