Good Sunday to you all! I have a few more updates/requests today. If you have a request or know of someone who could use our prayers, please feel free to leave a comment or send an email to safehavenblog@yahoo.com.
Please pray for Joanne. January 11 will mark one year since she suffered a stroke and she is still working through rehab and regaining her independence.
Noah and his family can really use our prayers.
Please continue to keep Tripp in your prayers. He has endured so much. His mom could use some love too!
Keep Jonah in your prayers. His mom, Patrice, is going to start potty training him soon!!

Some updates, prayer requests and an introduction...
Hi all! This is my first time contributing to this blog and I'd like to start off by thanking Jen for the opportunity! My name is Amy, and I will be one of a small team of gals who will be helping Jen keep the blog updated going forward. A little about me... I'm a married mom of 2 kids (12 & 10). I'm also a full-time financial planning assistant for a fully integrated financial holdings company. But enough about me, let's get to some updates!
Jamie B and her husband Jayson could really use some prayers and encouragement. Jamie was found unconscious in her garage on December 2 and has been recovering from a traumatic brain injury since then. In addition to her continued recovery, they are currently having some issues with which type of facility Jamie should be going to and trying to work things out with insurance.
Ashley is 3 days free of antibiotics for an infection, but there are still a lot of issues and a lot of decisions that need to be made. Take a moment to leave some encouragement for them.
Keep Aviana in your prayers as she works on sitting and standing.
Brayden is doing well, but both of their vans were in accidents within 2 days of each other, so they could use prayers as they deal with their transportation obstacles.
Brody is making some progress in therapy, and his mom is moving into a new chapter as well. They can always use encouragement and prayers.
Carly continues to do well and had a really fun Halloween!
Christian's parents have some decisions to make regarding potential surgeries for their little man and could use some prayers.
Please continue to keep Eli in your prayers, he's very sick!
Give praise for Elijah, he's walking, something the doctors said he'd never do!
Emerson just spent her first Christmas at home in 5 years!
Gaines is doing fantastic! Off oxygen, growing and enjoying life!
Sweet Gracie is raising money for "The Canaries"! Leave them some prayers and encouragement!
An update from Grant's blog: "Grant has continued to thrive in his Post Fontan life. He is playing hard and able to keep up with the other kids and as a result, he is also napping better and sleeping more consistently at night than ever before. It is incredible to me. It has taken me a few months of getting solid REM sleep to not still feel exhausted all of the time, but slowly I am starting to remember what it feels like to not be a walking zombie! "
Continue to pray for Harmonee as she battles against rejection.
Jace's mom updated their page recently: "My lesson learned from 2011 is that you can't predict the future. Well, we all knew that right, but to truly be able to experience an improvement in Jacob's mitochondrial disorder is something we didn't expect. Noone could have predicted that, but it did happen! That is what I will bring with me in to the new year." Great news!
Please keep Jared's sister, Braylynne, and their entire family in your prayers as they are dealing with the effects of Jared's condition on his sibling. We sometimes forget that illnesses and conditions effect the entire family and they can always use our prayers and support!
Keep Joshua in your prayers. He's been having some "off" days.
An update on Josiah's blog: "We have only 5 days til disney. The kids are excited, especially Isaiah. I think this will be a once in a lifetime trip. We will be cramming so many things into a week, i will need to come home and sleep for a week. I am done working now as of this week. Something will come up for me, I just hope soon. I want some changes to happen soon,I want to move, and we really need to so we can accomadate Josiahs needs better. Its getting really hard to carry him up flights of stairs to bed, to the tub, no wheelchair access into my house. Its just really cramped in here with all his medical stuff" Keep them in your prayers!
Karina's mom could use some encouragement. Please take a moment to visit and leave her some uplifting words.
Things are very tough for Kate and her family. Keep them in your prayers and send them some encouragement.
Maddie is doing well, but Brandon is still deployed. Pray for his safe return SOON!
Noah's mom has posted a recent update worth reading.
Please be sure to let the families know you've stopped by and leave them an uplifting word when you have time. It seems like a little thing, but it means a lot!

Hello long lost friends! I hope each of you have had a wonderful Christmas and Holiday season.. It seems like it all came and went in a snap, I cannot believe next week it will be 2012.. it seems crazy to me!
So, I love this blog, and agreed to take it over because I honestly thought I would have more time to really keep it up.. and honestly I haven't had time to keep this or my personal blog up.. I haven't had a chance to blog hop or check in on anyone in a long time. So this is my question, for now is there anyone out in bloggy land that would care to take on updating now and then? I will still help whenever possible, but would LOVE to have someone that has time and willingness to assist...if so leave a comment here (with your email address) and I will email you with details..
Also I am going to try to update some of the lists while I have a few minutes..if you have any updates or want to add/remove/rename (i.e any changes) please let me know here in the comments..
~~~~~~~~~~~~ A few requests for now...
I did want to ask for some urgent prayer for 2 year old Eli and his family. He became gravely ill on Christmas eve and has been fighting for his life..
Also pray for sweet Noah E and his family. He is on Hospice and is really struggling to hang on..pray for peace and comfort and healing for both of these families..

Please pray for the Austin family as their sweet little baby Noah was born and passed only 19hrs later.Saying Hello and good bye at the same time, must be one of the hardest things a parent could do..
Emerson is also in need of prayer, what a little fighter they have!
Kate is getting radiation treatment, and is in need of prayer.
Morgan is undergoing new experimental treatment in California at the moment, Her mom Dasa is also 7 months pregnant, I know they certainly appreciate being lifted up in prayer. (this is a fb link, but open to anyone to view)
And my computer is freezing once again. I really am trying to keep up with the needs of those on the list and certainly appreciate any comment/emails being sent to me.. seems the 'web surfing' and page to page is too much for my old computer this week.. SO if you know of any urgent prayer requests, leave them here or email and I will post ASAP. I will try to get on the laptop tonight and get more through the lists..
A few added, thank you to those who brought these to my attention <3

This is Carla, she will be 4 on April 2, 2011, has HLHS and is currently on a vent and awaiting a new heart. Please pray for this little girl as well as her family.
Please add Ashley Kate to your prayer lists. She is in the hospital with an infection and her liver is not functioning as well as it should. pray for her liver to fight the infection and for her to go home soon.. no 5 year old enjoys sitting in a hospital..

Hello new and old friends! My name is Jen and the beautiful and wonderful Christy has asked if I would help by taking over this site, and of course I was thrilled to. She has done such a great job of caring for this site and all of those listed on this site for a very long time.

a few requests..

One last post
To all Safe Haven readers,
I don't know how to say what is on my heart right now. Safe Haven has been such a part of my life for a long time now, and letting it go is hard. But it is time for me to pass the torch and move on. I believe the Lord has used this blog is huge ways, maybe even more than we can understand, and I believe it will only continue to touch many more. The power of prayer is miraculous. Thank you so much for checking in on the prayer requests posted here, and for praying. I am sorry that the last several months this blog has been neglected, but that is soon going to change. I am giving the blog over to my good friend Jen, that I actually met through this blog, and many of you have prayed for her. I thank her publicly for the help she has been lately, and for taking this on. God is moving me on to different things, so I ask for your prayers for that.
I will keep checking on these sweet families, and praying for them daily.
I just wanted to say goodbye, and thanks so much.
Blessings,
Christy
