Need some prayers for my grandson

[comp-spec]

My grandson has been in the hospital since last Monday and was rushed into Childrens Hospital in Boston on Thursday where he's been in ICU and will be there for another week or two. He is being treated for RSV and some other bacterial problems. He is in a coma and they have him paralyzed so he doesn't dislodge any of his tubes. The machines are doing everything for him right now but, they are going to try and start to ween him off this week. He's 2 1/2 months old. We are taking it hour by hour so any prayers you can say would be appreciated.

Thanks

Prayers said for your grandson Pete...

Hebrews 4

14 Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to the confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time.

I've been so caught up in the new house stuff that I haven't had time for much else. I was just wondering how things have been with you, and thinking that I need to get down the shop soon..... and then I just read this.

glad to see that you've updated and can say that he's doing a little better. little babies are so much tougher than us "adults" when it comes to things like this

wishing your family all the best and I'll see you soon

What a great and comforting verse in 16.

Pete,
Your grandson, CJ, is in goods hands up there. My, now 6 year old, nephew has had two open heart surgeries along with two stints performed up there and let me tell you those doctors are the best around. Keep praying.

[tmadden]

Matthew 9:28-29 “...the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do YOU BELIEVE that I am able to do this?” “YES, Lord,” they replied. [29] Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to YOUR FAITH will it be done to you.” And they were healed!

The more of and the more dedicated our prayers the more will be done. By faith and by prayers we call on the Lord to heal this child. Make whole his body and strengthen his family. Raise him up as a testimony to your grace and mercy. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

[Tony722]

Thanks everone,
But CJ had to go back in the hospital Saturday for his gallbadder he wasn't holding down his food.
They watched him over the weekend to see if it would start clearing up with medication.
As of now the gallbladder has not changed so we are waiting for the doctors to see what's next.

[Northeast Rod Run]

I hope the little bugger doesn't have to have that removed. Just from this one part of his life, he's gonna be one tough kid when he grows up.... well, from that and trying to control your dog

All I know is that kids that have it tough in the beginning, definitely make up for lost time when they get older. I have neices and cousins that prove that time and time again

[tones2SS]

I'll continue to pray for CJ and for your family Pete.

[ArisESQ]

1 Large crowds followed Jesus as he came down the mountainside. 2 Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him. “Lord,” the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.” 3 Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” And instantly the leprosy disappeared.

Matthew 8
