Update on the blog

Hi all:

I am three weeks out from my surgery, half way through my "recovery period" and doing better every day.  I continue to appreciate the sweet prayers and messages I've received.  Thank you!

In the next week or so I'm going to be rolling out a few changes in the way in which updates are posted and I think it's going to be a lot better.  The hope is that more updates get covered in a regular manner and I think it's going to work out wonderfully.  We shall see very soon! :)

As always, please feel free to leave any prayer requests in the comments, or send an email to safehaven_blog@yahoo.com.  If you have a blog, please share our blog with your readers.  Prayer is very powerful, and the more people we have praying, the better!!

Blessings,

 Amy

Jenson

Jenson went home to be with Jesus on Tuesday evening.  Please pray for their family - Mom Kristin, Dad Doug and big sister Sydney.

Will be back with some updates tomorrow.

Blessings,
Amy

Pray for Noah

Noah is not doing well and is headed shortly by ambulance to the hospital for a CT scan.  Please keep both him and his family in your prayers.

From his mom's Facebook update:

Dr. B and our nurse were here about 8 this morning. The nurse drew some labs and Dr. B decided he does want Noah to have a CT of his belly. His liver is enlarged and even though Noah was sleeping very deeply, he was whimpering in pain when Dr. B would press his tummy at all. :-(

The wrench in the works is that it will be best for Noah to go by ambulance which means the girls can't come with me. A sweet friend offered to come pick them up for as long as needed today while we get this taken care of. We are getting the CT done locally so it shouldn't be too terribly long.

The ambulance should be here in a little over an hour and I'll update when I know something.

Updates

Saturday Updates

Hello all!  Sorry I was MIA last week.  I have a big surgery coming up next Thursday and I have been busy prepping things for that as well as taking care of the every day things.  I thank you for the prayers you have sent me!!

Please keep Victoria and her family.  She sent me an email asking for prayers for them as she was pregnant with their second child when her placenta went bad at 22 weeks and they lost their sweet baby.  They also have a 4-year-old.  She is going to send me the link to her family blog once she has it updated, but in the meantime let's keep them in our prayers.

Please pray for Battley.  She was born on March 22 and has Trisomy 18.  Her family is enjoying each day they are given with her!

Tesha continues to work through her grief and her faith in the Lord, especially during such a trial, is amazing.

Phoebe had her last day of her third round of chemo yesterday and now they are just watching for any ill effects.  She had an extremely tough go after the last round, so please pray that she stays well and is able to go home!

Aviana is recovering at home from surgery.  Keep them in your prayers.

Carly just went to her first Daddy/Daughter dance at pre-school!

Christian is going into the hospital for an in-patient stay to monitor some new seizures he has been having.  He is going in Monday and is expected to be in for 3-5 days.  Keep them all in your prayers.

Jacob and family are looking at making the transition to public school and have an IEP meeting coming up next week.  They can use prayers for a smooth transition!

A Few Easter Updates

Noah had some fun with some furry friends.  He is still fighting a yucky infection in his bladder, in addition to having some line troubles.   Keep him in your prayers this Easter weekend.

Taleah has a 2 week break from Chemo.  Pray that all goes well so she and her family can enjoy the break. 

Wesley got his new van and some massaging.  He continues to make progress.  Praises!

The Bolte family is taking steps towards adoption.  They were asked to set up a bed for the one to be joining the family.  This was an especially hard task because it meant travelling through feelings that were put away on a shelf.  Keep them in your prayers as they trust in God for the next part of this journey.

Reagan is still not feeling great.  Keep her in your prayers.
