It's a life changing experience; my daughter went when she was 17 for a month without us!

Re: WNOP-Missionary's Son

I just went to this young boy's blog site and it made me cry. What a heart for the Lord he has! The enemy is obviously trying to shut the mouth of this young warrior. I'll continue to pray!

Re: WNOP-Missionary's Son

Here is another update from Sis. Smith's blog. God is indeed working miracles! Please continue to pray.


Vicki Called!!!
She sounds like my good 'ole Sis tonight. Well, hummm it's her morning and she has slept hard for 5 hours. I'm thinking I'll beat her and sleep 6 hours tonight. We are all feeling good, Mom included.

His blood pressure dropped really low in the night. The South African team started him on blood pressure meds yesterday. The nurse just backed that down and they currently have it controlled.

He's still on the mattress chill pad to reduce his temp. He's still on the ventilator. He's still unconscious. But he is STILL STABLE! Thank the Lord! He's still on go for a feeding tube today. This is important at his age to ensure he doesn't lose muscle density.

I took a few minutes and shared some of your posts to the blog. She was so touched by each of your kindness. I've had approximately 5000 hits to the blog since this morning. Every post is going to be printed for Timothy. Vicki realizes that many of us wish we were there with him. She is going to take pics and send for the blog. Of course sometimes pics look horrible so if they turn out too bad we have opted to not post them.

Vicki said the 4:00 AM thing was was @ 11:00 am in Malawi and that was when the doctors finally felt they had him stable enough to transport. Wow! Vicki and I both shed a tear or two just recounting the nightmare we faced then.

I didn't think I'd be posting again, tonight. Hopefully this is officially it for the night. Of course if we have a little bump in the road to recovery I'll be up praying and will post for each of you to join our efforts. Vicki and Tremayne love you all and thank you so much for helping carry this load. Lauren, Micah and Chelsea feel your prayers, too!

Re: WNOP-Missionary's Son

I have wept and prayed all morning over this and Rhoni's post. God help us to see the needs of a hurting world and stop concentrating on things that don't matter to a hill of beans. God have mercy people! People are sick and lost and dying and messed up and we are worried about when someone starts trimming their hair.

I write this with tears running down my face to think that we get so distracted by things that do not matter to God at all and here is a young man that loves God and is fighting for his life!
I just can't fathom the ridiculousness of all that while the world is in such turmoil and people we love are fighting for their marriages, children and their lives!
I love you all but I wish we could see WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT HERE!!!!!!!!!!
I am not judging but it just wrings my heart out to hear all this talk about hair, pants, jewelry, make up and the like when our kids are messed up and this boy is in a hospital a long way from home and has given his all for the Lord.
I just can't take it - that is why I stay off of here - it just kills me! We are working so hard to help hurting people and have done it for 35 years and got criticized the whole time because we did not know of some stupid little rule some nut case had thought up.
Let's work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.
Sorry, I just had to vent and now I probably need to delete this and get off here.
I am praying for this young man - Saints - we need to pray and touch GOD for this boy!!

YES!!!!!!!!!! Every time I get on here I end up mad or in tears - today it is BOTH!
I did not try and sidetrack the issue with this young man. I am very burdened for him and his family today and am praying for a MIRACLE for him.
