Prayer Request

Over the last several years, Josh, Amy and Jackson have quickly become some of our closest and dearest friends.  They are the sweetest family and truly supportive friends.  Two Saturdays ago Josh's dad Bob had a massive hart attach and has been in a coma ever since.  This precious  family is on my heart constantly because I just can't even imagine what they must be going through.  Josh's family lives close by so they have been spending a lot of time at the hospital.  At this point they are really praying for a miracle, Bob's heart is stronger now but his brain waves are really low.  They are praying that he will wake up soon and be able to breath on his own.  As if this is not enough to deal with they are waiting to find out when Jackson will be able to have surgery.  He was born with club feet and has had to be in casts since he was born.  He is the sweetest and happiest baby I have ever been around.  He is such a trooper!  He hardly ever fusses or cries.  He is very strong and healthy other wise.  He was supposed to be having foot surgery this month but it keeps getting postponed.  At this point they know he really needs it and they would really just like to get it over with so that they can move on.  He is becoming very mobile now and they don't want him to be bound by casts.  Oh, and Josh is an accountant and this is tax season, his busiest season of the year.  Needless to say, they are going through a lot and could use any extra prayers they could get.  They seem to be holding up very well and their faith in the midst of it all is a true inspiration.
