Call for prayers

I was so touched by the story of little Bronson. You can read about it here:

I've ridden similar rollercoasters with sick babies, waiting for tubes to come out and medications to stop. There may be a few things in life that are harder than this, but not much. At least, not that I've experienced so far.

But I know there is power in numbers and I know my kids were supported through their trials. And I know that I somehow floated through on the faith of the many who prayed for us. Let's all pray for Bronson.

And let's all pray for Haiti. Let's pray for America, too.

Let's all just pray.

I have just cried enough to water my entire back yard. This hit home for sure. I can't even count the number of times I did exactly what that mother did and yet my kids are ok. It makes me sick how careless I have been all in the name of being efficent. This was a huge wake up call to STOP and let things go to bits around me if that is what it takes to keep my kids safe. Thank you for passing this on. It is moments like these that you realize your greatest treasures and NOTHING on earth is more valuable or more precious than my family.

Wow. That's all I can say. Saddest story I have ever read. I will definitely include Bronson and their whole family in my prayers. Thanks for sharing, Mish

I've been following Bronson for the past few days. And praying. Praying for a miracle. I got so excited yesterday when I read that Bronson was alert when they took him off various drugs and got a couple tubes out. So happy.

Crap can and does happen to everyone. We're all guilty of similar things and it just makes the prayers go a bit deeper.

OH MAN! I just read that other blog cried more than I have in a long time. I don't think there's anything worse than seeing your kids struggle. I remember when my girls were in the NICU and again with Mags having RSV and feeling the strength that comes from other prayers. This family will definitely be in mine! Thanks Misha.

Thank you Misha, I think you're pretty great yourself.
