Little Parker

I want to thank all of you who were sending some prayers and good thoughts Parker's way and to give you all an update on his condition because he had been doing so well! He had all of the IVs taken out, put in an open crib started feeding from a bottle(!), and he is now over 3lbs. Such a blessing!

The roller coaster took another dive this evening and he is quite a sick little guy again. He was now having seizures every 20 minutes, it looks like the meningitis is back, low blood pressure, and possible pneumonia. This poor little guy, he is fighting so hard.

Please offer up another round of prayers and thoughts for little Parker and his family. They can use everything we got!

For those who are new to my blog, here is the previous post about this Precious little guy, and the family's blog with all of the updates.

Thanks again everyone! Let's pray this roller coaster starts climbing another hill.

Some Prayers Needed for Parker

Hey Ladies,

Lindsey is a good girlfriend of mine from college and she just had a baby boy who is in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Parker was born at 12:01 am on July 28th, he weighed 2 pounds 1 oz. and was 13 inches long after a short (26 weeks) and trauma filled pregnancy.
Thus far in his short little life, he has had to overcome some big obstacles like Bacterial Meningitis, high levels of E. Coli, and Apnea. Too much for such a little one. I can't imagine the roller coaster that Lindsey and Lance are on. In one of her posts she said that Parker is wearing Lance's wedding ring as a bracelet, it broke my heart.Here is Lindsey's blog that she has started to keep everyone up to date on Parker's status. I know that they can use as many prayers as they can get. Parker Alexander Maximus Ringhand's story.

Thanks Ladies, I know that I can count on you!

Let's take a moment....

This post is dedicated to a special group of people that are very close to me who all lost their jobs today. I was separated from this group of people, my family, back in February and the pain that have been dealing with since my lay off, I would never wish it on my worst enemy. Their situation is much worse with the circumstances behind it, I can't even imagine how one would process it all. Ladies, I love you, and I am praying for you.

Dear Lord Jesus Christ,
You wanted all who are weary
To come to You for support.
Lord, I am worn out
By my inability to find work.

Guide my steps to a righteous path;
Give me the patience
To find opportunities with a future.
Calm my worries and fears
As my financial responsibilities mount.
Strengthen my resolve;
Embolden my heart to open doors;
Open my eyes to see life beyond rejections.
Help me believe in me.

Let me realize other ways
To bring about Your kingdom on earth.
Let me grow as a person
That I may be worthy
For Your greater glory.
In the name of the Father.

Amen.

I know that God has a plan for us, and for the millions of other people that are in the same situation as we are, I just pray that this plan is revealed to us sooner rather than later. I am just trying to keep in mind that, "what was meant to be, will be."
