You Belong To God

Children, you belong to God, and you have defeated these enemies. God’s Spirit is in you and is more powerful than the one that is in the world. 
1 John 4:4

For those who pray, we are asking for prayers today. 


JJ's symptoms - stomach pain, chronic diarrhea, shin and foot pain - have not stopped. On Friday, he vomited immediately after eating dinner. Eating food has been a challenge. He is strongest in the morning and will eat a gluten free/dairy free waffle and Chiobani yogurt and drink a Good Belly drink, but after breakfast is when the lethargy and no desire to eat for the rest of the day sets in.

This has been going on for months.


This has to end. 


Doctors told us the earliest they can get him in for an MRI is November 23rd at 9:00 a.m. He has to be sedated because he is so young. Which means we have to wait another TWO WEEKS for an MRI. Ridiculous. 


I put a call in this morning to the Pediatric GI department at Tufts to stress the importance of moving the MRI up. The receptionist remembered me from last week (it is nice when you don't have to retell your child's story; when you get someone who remembers!). She said the only one who can move up the MRI is the doctor and told me she would page him immediately and then call me back.


Now we wait.


Please pray for JJ today. God is his Healer. God will open these closed doors. We speak peace to JJ's body - to his immune system and his digestive system. Hidden things revealed. Now!
