Although things seem better now that we are "home," Caed still has some major hurdles to overcome! First and foremost, he has to be able to eat and keep it down!! We feel like his stomach is trying, but it is going to take a long time to fully be able to function properly on its own. (if it even will without a transplant) We can't thank you enough for praying for him like you have thus far. We continue to be amazed at how FAR REACHING his name is. So many that we do not even know are fervently lifting him up. With that being said, we continue to ask for more!
My dad sent this verse to me a few weeks ago:
Whoever calls on the Lord, do not give yourselves any rest, and do not give "Him" any rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes it an object of praise throughout the earth. (Isaiah 62:6-7)
We have also been reminded of the story in Genesis where Jacob wrestles with God (ch. 32 - verses 22 - 32) I will not go into the full account, but want to stress vs. 26. But Jacob replied, "I WILL NOT LET YOU GO unless you bless me."
This is our plea now: Please continue to join us in prayer for Caed's ultimate healing. We want to demonstrate to God that we will not rest until the answer comes, and that we will pray without ceasing until He makes the work He is doing in Caed's life an object that gives God (and God ALONE) the praise throughout the earth. (Isaiah 62) We are also pleading with God, hanging on to Him with all our strength crying out, "We will not let You go until you bless us!!!" We ask each of you to commit at least one day this week to fasting and prayer for our son. God is doing an extraordinary work in and through Caed. But, we can't stop now! Time is urgent and a transplant will continue to loom over our heads until his body starts doing what it's supposed to. Our God continues to perform miracles today, and what an amazing testimony we all will have to see this one in Caed. TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER!!!!

Lori, I love that verse in Job. Yes, we will not stop praying for we know the Lord has a very special call on Caed's life for him to be going all this. We will not give the enemy a foothold. We stand in agreement with you. We commit to continue praying each day for Caed.
Lord, we come to you now giving you Caed. Help us to stand strong and not waiver. We petition your blessings right now to fall upon Caed and his family. Thank you for your Word as you reveal yourself to us and even to Caed and Lori. I ask you give Caed dreams and visions of you as he rests. Thank you for Lori as she nurtures and cares for him. Thank you for Todd as he maintains headship of his family. Provide for Todd during this time of transition the hope of your Glory be fulfilled in all the earth.
Thank you Lord for your messengers who bring the word of encourgement and confirmation on a daily basis. Renew us and restore us Lord. Restore Caed back to new life and allow his body to function normally. We count it a privilege to spend time with you Lord. We look expectantly to what you are going to do on our behalf. We will praise you in all things. Amen!
Megan's bunco group had a time of prayer tonight for CAED! We will not forget and will continue to pray for his complete healing.
