prayers...

I'm not really sure where to begin because many of you may not even know that Ethan has had a rough six months so far (as have Josh and I). He has been continually fussy and spitting up since he was born. Now that he is supposed to be eating solid foods, he can't keep any of them down as well. He is down to the 5th percentile in his weight and length, yet his head circumference is way above normal. His left eye is somewhat lazy as well. He just has a lot going on right now (even more than I've mentioned, but that's not important). We have been to several pediatric doctors already with his heart and stomach. Our doctor has recommended that we get another upper GI done as well as see a pediatric gastro-enterologist and a pediatric ophthamologist. We may even be referred to a geneticist from there. Please keep Ethan in your prayers. We know God is sovereign and totally in control, so we are growing and being strengthened through this daily. Each day He gives me strength because I know if I were doing this in my own strength, I would have given up long ago. We're all in this together and we truly do feel your prayers. Thank you. May God be glorified through this all!

Sorry to hear that little Ethan isn't feeling well. We will be praying for Ethan to get better soon and strength for both of you.

Also---Are you going to be able to come to the IWU reunion on Dec. 1st? I hope so, but if not let us know when you are in the Indy/Carmel area. I would love to see you guys, catch up and meet Ethan!
Love,
Trisha

Hey sweetie, I am so sorry to hear about your little guy. We will definitely be praying for him and you both. I know this must be such a hard time, but as you said, God has His hand in it all.
If there is anything else I can do, I am here for you.
