Henry's Home!

Just a quick update on my son Henry. After almost a week in the hospital, I brought him and Bekah home last night.

While the doctors are still somewhat uncertain about the exact cause of his problems, they are treating him for a viral infection with antibiotics and other medication. The pediatric neurologist and cardiologist said his heart, lungs and brain function all look good. He is on a sleep apnea machine 24/7 in case his heart stops beating or in the event that he stops breathing. Thank God he was able to get off the oxygen and breath on his own for the past two nights.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for praying for him and Bekah this past week and for going and visiting him at the hospital. Friends of ours from all over the country were lifting us up in prayer and that means more to us than you will ever know. Please continue to pray for Henry and Bekah. Bekah is so exhausted. She hasn't had a good night sleep in weeks.

If all goes well these next couple of days, we are planning on dedicating Henry Russell unto the Lord this weekend at church. My family and Bekah's family will be with us as we give this little gift back to the Lord to be used for His purposes in the next generation. Hope to see you there.
