GOD news....

"WE will PRAISE you FOREVER for what you have done; in your name WE will hope, for your name is good. WE will PRAISE you in the presence of YOU!" Psalm 52:9

Alfred and Maranatha just returned from meeting with Dr. Frasier. 
The "zipper" is being sewed up and everything is GREAT!  The update is below:

*Only on bypass for 50 minutes
*Did not have to stop his heart 
*Trimmed away the muscle of the right ventricle b/c it was enlarged
*Able to put in a small adult conduit (18 millimeter)
*Attempting to take the breathing tube out now
*MAY be in PICU only one night
*For a Truncus child, Bear looks "very good"
*Arteries have developed well
*Didn't have to have a blood transfusion
*Doesn't anticipate that he'll have to have a transfusion at all
*Possibly get to see him within the next hour
*Prayerfully he will be in a regular room in 24 hours

PRAISE Jesus from whom ALL blessings flow!

Please pray tonight that WHEN Bear wakes up that he is not fearful or scared but rather at peace and calm. Another update to come soon!

  4. We must put GOD on display for the world see. We are tested (tempted) like God tested Abraham with Issac Gen.22. We must understand that God knows best and answers the prayers of his children. May God Bless and we are praying for your family. The May Family Lepanto,AR

  6. We ought never be surprised when God shows up and shows out! Praise His Holy Name! I'm claiming Psalm 56:3 for Bear and praying that you all have the PEACE that passes all understanding, In Jesus Name.

    I love you all, Mitzi

  7. Praise God! Fondly remembering the first time I saw that little guy with all his energy.
    "B-A-R-R-E-T-T" I'd chant to him and he'd do a little hip swaying.
