Date for surgery...


Jed and January received news from Children's Hospital yesterday concerning Jackson's heart surgery. The date has been set for August 4th, 2008. Just less than four weeks away. 1) This is a praise because they have been anxious to just get a date set for the surgery 2) They are asking for prayer to move the date forward as much as possible because August 4th is the day that January has to go back to work. If the date could be moved forward even a few days it would give her more time to be with Jackson before and after the surgery. She is planning to take a few weeks off regardless, but really wants to have as much time at home with Jackson during his recovery. So please pray that the doctor would be willing to move the date. Please start praying for the surgeon (praise God he is the best in his field) and all the nurses involved in the operation. More info will be posted soon about Jackson's condition and the details of the surgery. For now please keep praying.

Hi Guys. I know you don't really know me but I am a friend of Anjuli's. I wanted to let you know that we will be praying for you. My twin boys were preemies and in the nicu for 6 weeks. One of them also had major hip surgery a couple of years ago and the other is having eye surgery in September. All I can say is it is tough going through it all but you will both come out stronger and closer to both each other and the Lord in the end. It is amazing how many people you will come in contact with that you never would have if he hadn't gone through this all in the first place. God is completely in control and He has chosen you to be Jackson's parents, and has been preparing you and shaping you for many years to be able to handle this. Keep Him always in the middle of you two.

Dear Jed and January- Just found out yesterday about sweet Jackson and his condition as it came onto our prayer chain in Sun Deo. For sure, we will be holding you all up in prayer at this time, and as Jackson recuperates. As you sit, watch and pray by his side, may you be 'strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and long-suffering with joy!' Col.1:11
Love,
Laura, for John and I
