Hi FReepers. Our first Grandchild was born last Friday, April 2nd. We knew ahead of time from the ultrasounds that he has a very serious congenital heart defect called Hypoplasitc Right Heart Syndrome (HRHS). Basically, it means that the right side of the heart is not fully developed.
Up until about 25 years ago this condition was 100% fatal. Now, thanks to a procedure developed in the 1980's, many children are able to survive. The oldest survivors are now in their 20's. So we are optimistic.
The procedure is a series of three open heart surgeries; the first right after birth, the second at 3 to 6 months old, and the third between age 2 and 3. Should he survive the surgeries, he will likely be on heart medicines for the rest of his life, and possibly need a heart transplant somewhere down the line.
Because he was born over 7 lbs. (he is otherwise very healthy), they have been able to delay the first surgery a bit. He is scheduled for surgery Monday morning, when he will be 9 days old.
Your prayers would be helpful, for when two or more are gathered in His name, He is also there.
Thanks.
Prayers for the little one.
Sweet baby Jak has got my prayers. So does his Kinder family. God Love them all.
Bless this baby Lord. Guide the medical team with your wisdom Lord. Give the parents and grandparents peace and comfort through all of this, your peace that passes all understanding. Let them know that you are right there with them. I pray that this precious baby, Jak Murphy Kinder, will recover quickly and completely. So much so, that the doctors are stunned at his recovery. In Jesus name, Amen!!!
prayers up for the little guy....
Oh my,what a worry.We will pray for Jack,Fatima
Prayers sent for little Jak and the rest of your family.
Where is he getting worked on? The best congenital ped guy in the business is Frank Hanley at Stanford Children’s. I know people that were told there was nothing that could be done for their children that he was able to fix. On top of that he seems to be a really great guy. He fixed my kid’s heart.
Prays for your grandson and his complete healing sucessful operation and for guidance of the doctors in Jesus name. AMEN!
Could you please ping your prayer lists for prayers for little Jak,Thanks Fatima
Surgery is at Long Beach Memorial, Miller Children’s Hospital. Surgeon is Dr. Daniel Bethencourt. Seems to be well trained and experienced.
Jak is God’s baby, so I’ll let Him handle it.
How is your child now?
Bless you fatima.

PRAYERS
He is doing great. We don’t forsee anymore heart issues.
May Jak and all of his family be blessed by this Healing Confession, first written by a husband for his beloved wife, Patsy, now since returned to vibrant health. And may it be so for all for whom you pray.
HEALING CONFESSION
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Living Word. You said that Your Word is Life to those who find it and medicine to all our flesh. Today, by my confession, I apply Your Word to our body by giving voice to it. You said in Psalm 139:14 that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and that Your works are marvelous. I declare that You made us and we are a marvelous creation.
I speak to sickness and disease today and proclaim that according to Philippians 2:10 that they must bow down to the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Every name in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth bows its knee to Jesus’ name.
I speak to our body today and declare that we have authority over it. I command it to receive the Word of God. Matthew 8:17 proclaims that Jesus bore our sickness and took our infirmities. Heavenly Father, I thank You that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us and makes alive our mortal body.
I speak to our immune system and command it to line up with the Word of God. Our immune system will destroy sickness and disease in our body and perform its job, for this is what You created it to do. I thank You, Father, that every cell in our body responds to Your Word. Your Word permeates our body from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet. I confess that the Word of God is being made flesh in us. Psalm 103:3 declares that You, Father, forgave all our iniquities and healed all our diseases. Father, that is Your confession and I make it our confession also. We don’t judge by the sight of our eyes; we judge by Your Living Word. It is Your Word that lives in us and brings health and healing to every part of our body.
Heavenly Father, we rejoice at Your promise of divine health. You said it and we believe it. Today I declare that we will see Your Promise of healing manifest in our body. Healing is ours because Jesus paid the price two thousand years ago. God so loved us that He sent His Son to die on the cross so that we could experience life on God’s terms. His abundant life is manifesting in us. Make us whole ~ body, soul, and spirit. Amen …
Praying for Jak’s successful surgeries and his eventual full recovery. Please keep us informed.
Prayers for the Lord’s healing hand on baby Jak.
Amazing prayer. Thank you.
