Prayer Request for Baby Joe

Kendra (Preschoolers and Peace) and her husband Fletcher, two wonderful people, are in need of your prayers right now. Their infant son, Joe, or Mighty Joe as he has been nicknamed, is currently hospitalized with a series of medical conditions caused by an infectious disease.

Please say a prayer for baby Joe and hop on over to Kendra’s blog and leave a word of encouragement for the family.

This excerpt is from Fletcher’s latest post on the blog:

Here is what has improved:
*Liver enzymes have dropped!
*Blood clotting has improved!
*Seizures have stopped and the EEG has been removed!
*He is still peeing tons!
*He has tolerated food well since yesterday without a return of diarrhea
*He has tested negative for the bacteria “c. diff.”

Prayer Requests:
With all the good news, there is still a lot to pray for in this little guy’s life.
There is still the unknown:
*Kidneys to start working on their own.
*Heart damage
*Brain damage
*Liver damage

General Prayers:
*His immune system to start working against the virus.
*For Kendra to feel better

Parent’s Assessment:
We were greeted with open eyes again this morning. He looks less swollen and much more responsive to touch. He is much more grumpy! Kendra got to hold him this morning!
