Monday

Good evening all:


Keep praying for Noah.  His family is going through the awful process of planning a balloon release at the graveside when Noah goes home.  He is currently fever free, but in need of a transfusion and feeling weak and listless.


Phoebe is not doing well.  Her sodium is not coming down like it should and she's having hallucinations and is feverish.

Josiah is not sleeping well and they are having a very stressful time.

I received this prayer request via email today.  There is no website given, but we can still keep him in our prayers:
Please pray for Benyun Wu
Benyun Wu,67 years old,he is ill now because of lung cancer ,cancer cells diffuse into lymph and vertebra,caused fracture of thoracic vertebra.May God bless him,heal his disease, staunch pain of his body,make his health and mental statusin good condition,and make him accept salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Phoebe

Please keep Phoebe in your prayers tonight. Her hemoglobin is low and she is in intense pain.

Sunday Updates #2

HOPE

Hope is doing well.  She recently had her adenoids removed which should help her sleep apnea.  Her sister Dakota had an endoscopy on the 5^th to see about Celiac’s Disease.  They are working through insurance right now to get a car seat that is safe for Hope.  This is an expensive item so keep them and their process with the insurance company(s) in your prayers. 

GAVIN

Gavin and his family were able to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather at the beach.  His mom is reflecting on a lot right now but has decided to take on a new project.  She will be working on her photography skills.  If you have a chance, check out her new photography site that is linked up in her blog post.

EMERSON

Emerson spent her first Christmas at home since she was born.  She is 5!  That is a lot of Christmases in the hospital!  They were recently blessed in so many ways… health, generosity of strangers/blog readers, family time, etc.  Just a reminder of how important our prayers and love to these families are.  Pray for continued health for Emerson.  Her mom has allowed medical care to occur in the home which is allowing her to just be “Mom” for the first time in awhile.  She is also taking on some new endeavors.  Encouragement is always appreciated!

REAGAN

Reagan’s family had a scare at the airport.  Thankful that everyone is okay and home safe and sound!

OWEN

Owen has a hospital stay coming up in a few weeks for a cardiac catherization.  These never get easier and he is now expressing his 4 yr old anxieties about the trip.  Pray over him for peace and understanding about the visit.

ZOEY

Zoey has a new Physical Therapist.  They seem to be getting along well and he believes in her.  That is a positive change for Zoey.

REBEKAH

Rebekah’s family had a scare tonight shortly after bedtime.  Say an extra prayer for the family tonight that she will sleep soundly through the night and wake in the morning to a brand new day. 

Sunday

Good evening all.  I hope that you had a blessed day.

Please continue to keep Tripp's family in your prayers.

Continue praying for Noah.  His mom was able to get some cuddles in today, which I'm sure was very good for both of them.

Jamie is having some anxiety issues, pray that she would feel calm and at ease. Also please pray for her husband, Jayson, that he would be able to find a balance between home, work, their girls, and being with Jamie.

Eli is getting his new cough assist machine tomorrow.  Keep them in your prayers.

Jacob and his sister are battling a cold.  Send them some love!

Josiah's mom has added some new pictures.

Continue to be in prayer for Phoebe and her family.  Her mom has asked specifically for prayers that she would be able to sleep.  She is having stressful dreams about Phoebe and her care and it's taking it's toll.  Also pray that they would be able to find a home to live in within the next 9 days before Phoebe starts her chemo.

Have a blessed night,
Amy

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,
Amy

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!
