Tripp

I just got word that Tripp passed away this morning.  Please keep his mom and entire family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly sad time.    God speed, Tripp!

Friday

Good evening all.

Please continue to be in prayer for Noah.  He's really not doing well.

Tripp is nearing the end of his suffering.  Please pray for him to be as comfortable as possible and strength for his mom and family.

Jamie was moved to her new rehab facility today!

Matt & Lorraine are in the Ukraine getting closer to bringing their TWO new kiddos home!

Please keep Jenny in your prayers.  Some of you remember that she is Allie's mom.  She is going through an emotionally trying time and I know she would appreciate being lifted up.

Brayden's botox injection is not working as well as was hoped.  Pray that they can get some answers from the orthopedic surgeon.

Phoebe's family met with the oncologist today and came up with a treatment plan.  Pray for guidance for the doctors.

If you have a prayer request, please leave it here in the comments or send an email to safehavenblog@yahoo.com

Have a blessed night,

Urgent Prayer Request for Noah

Noah's mom Kate just posted on Facebook:  
Temp 104.9 with meds. Up retching every 30-45night minutes all night. Dr. B is on his way over.


Storm Heaven with prayers for them!


Updated 1:00pm EST:
Temp 105.2, throwing up blood (probably b/c his throat is so irritated from so much retching). CRP (infection marker) which should be under 0.3 is 5.8. Platelets falling pretty fast - 150-something Monday, 129 yesterday, 102 today. Some other labs looking rough as well. Lasix has been tripled, phenergan increased to every 6 hours instead of every 8 hours.

Urgent Prayer Request

Please keep baby Phoebe and her family in your prayers.  She is 2 years old and was diagnosed yesterday with a cancerous brain tumor (AT/RT).  They can use every prayer and ounce of encouragement they can get right now.  


Please also be in prayer for Tripp and his family.  He is not doing well, and things are getting bad quickly.  He has suffered so much, as has his mom.  Please lift them both up tonight.

Thursday Prayer Requests

We have a few prayer requests tonight.


Noah and his family can so use your prayers tonight.  Specific prayer requests from Noah's mom:
Comfort for Noah
Wisdom for Dr. B and all involved
Peace for Jeff and I and the children
For the albumin to do its job and pull off some fluid
Comfort and healing for Mary

Kate is having a full brain and spine MRI on Monday, please be in prayer for good results. Also, the family they helped during a Christmas drive just lost their 16-year-old daughter.  Please pray for them as well.

Pray for Jamie as she is moving to her new facility today.  She also walked 150 feet in rehab yesterday.  God is good!

I'll have a more extensive update tomorrow. 

Have a blessed night!

Prayers and Praise!

Hello all -

My name is Katie.  I have also volunteered to contribute to this blog.  I have been a follower and a frequent prayer warrior over the last 2 years.  I am a teacher for students with special needs.  I also have 3 sons of my own.  I am excited to be able to keep others updated on the families that I so often check in on and pray for, as well as meet and update you on some other familiar faces.  Thanks for letting me be a part of this great site!  I believe in the power of prayer.... so Thank you in advance for joining us in praying for and lifting up these families.   

Maddie – Still some challenges with Epilepsy but has officially been cancer free for 5 years!  Prayers of Praise!!!  Keep her mom lifted up as she continues to strive towards finding the right medication mix to keep the seizures under control.

Rebekah - Prayers of Praise for being off oxygen.  Lift her up in prayer for the breathing and coughing difficulties that she is experiencing.

Aidan and Ty– Are in need of prayers for comfort and peace.  They are struggling (both children and parents) with the circumstances that are before them. 

Waverly and Oliver headed to the beautiful outdoors recently and their mom caught some amazing smiles on camera!  Head over and check out their pictures…. I am sure you will smile back.  What beautiful children.

Witt's family got a NEW set of Wheels!  They got to go on a family trip for Christmas with everyone in the same vehicle.  What a fabulous blessing over the holidays!

Tripp's mommy could use some uplifting.  Tripp’s care has become difficult because it all causes him extreme pain.

Kristy set some great goals for the start of the New Year. 

Linden's family just moved into a new home!   

Camryn has numerous prayers of praise!  Lift them up in celebratory prayer.

A few prayer requests

Send some prayers to Joshua.  He’s having more pain and his left eyelid is drooping. 

Aviana is busy working on getting her muscles stronger and sitting more.  She’s doing great!  Give her mom, Jen, some encouragement too.   It’s not always easy trying to figure out what the “right” decisions are, but I think she’s doing a pretty amazing job J

Please pray for Amy.  She is going through a very hard time and is in need of support.

Keep Janet and her family in your thoughts and prayers.  They just lost their sweet furbaby Max after 14 years. 

Say some prayers for Rebekah that her recent coughing is not due to aspiration. 

Continue to keep Noah in your prayers.  He’s having some fluid retention that is causing swelling.  

Don't miss the giveaway on the previous post!  It's open until tomorrow at 8pm EST.

Have a blessed night!

A giveaway! And a favor...

Good Tuesday to all!  I've had a hard time getting back into the swing of things now that my kids are back to school after Christmas break and my husband and I are back to work.  It was such a nice break, but the smack of reality stings ;)  I thought to brighten the day a bit, we'd do a little giveaway!

Up for grabs is a $10 Amazon.com gift code!  One winner will be picked randomly from the comments left on this post telling us what brought you to Safe Haven, and if you have any thoughts or suggestions for the site.   The code will be sent via email to the lucky winner.  I'll leave the giveaway open until 8pm EST tomorrow night.  Good luck!

I also want to ask a favor of you all.  If you have a personal blog or website, give Safe Haven a "shout out".  I know that things slowed down here quite a bit over the last little while, but both Jen and I are very excited to see things get hopping again.  We'd like to see old folks come back, and welcome new ones as well.  We can't ever have enough people praying and lifting each other up!!

I should have some updates later this evening, but for now I'd like to share a big praise!!!  Jamie's husband, Jayson has finally made the decision on where Jamie's care and rehab will continue!  This has been a huge burden on his heart recently and it's wonderful to have that weight off his shoulders.  Stop by and give them some encouragement!!

I look forward to reading your comments, and again, good luck! :)

Until next time,

Amy

Monday

Hi all, hope you had a great Monday!  A couple of requests tonight:

Please keep Noah in your prayers.  He has an appointment with his cardiologist on Wednesday to find out what some "off" labs mean.  On a praiseworthy note, it looks like he's rid of the MRSA!!

Please keep sweet Kira in your prayers.  Kira is new to Safe Haven.  Take a few minutes to read her story.

Requests and urgent prayer needs can always be left in the comments or emailed to safehavenblog@yahoo.com.

Until next time,
Amy
