Prayer Request

I haven't shared this information with a lot of people, but because I do know the power of prayer, I would like each of you to remember Dylon this week. A couple of months ago both of the twins were extremely sick with a virus. Houston was sent by helicopter to Sacred Heart in Pensacola and a few days later Dylon had to be hospitalized in Andalusia. Most of the family came down with the virus as well. I stayed in the hospital with Dylon because I was the only person in the family that was not sick at the time. When the doctor came to check on him he told me he thought he heard a hurt murmur. He said you could hear them better when children are sick. The following week, Matt and Shelli were back at Sacred Heart seeing a specialist who at first thought Dylon had a coarctation of the aorta. Further testing ruled this out and they discovered that there is an abnormality with his left pulmonary aorta. As a result, his heart has a rare way of functioning.

Monday morning, Matt, Shelli, and Dylon will be flying to Houston, Texas to meet with an expert in the field, and Dylon will be enduring a week's worth of tests. It' s my understanding that he will be sedated for most of these tests, but the thought of him having to go through any of that breaks my heart. I love those boys so much. They were born into our family during one of the most difficult and trying times we have ever gone through. Their little lives gave us joy, hope, and peace during that time of sorrow and loss. The Lord welcomed home one of the most wonderful men on Earth that week. We see his smile on their faces and his swagger in their walk. I know Baw Baw will make sure God is looking after Dylon in the coming days, but it wouldn't hurt if you could lift him up in your prayers as well.
