Please address your prayers to Retired Greyhound;
I will be praying for Jak, and your entire family, as well as all of his surgeons, doctors, nurses, and all other medical caregivers involved in his treatment.
May God give you all strength, peace and comfort... Along those lines, I will especially pray that God will keep you all free from worry as much as possible.
Lord Jesus, who loves the children, be kind to this wee baby Jak, as he undergoes heart surgery. Hold him close to your heart that it might beat for him in love and compassion. Strengthen his family and give them comfort in the trials. In your loving name. Amen.
My prayers for little Jak and all of those performing his surgery. In Jesus’ name.
Prayers for the complete recovery of the precious child, and for his parents and family who love and cherish him, in Christ’s Most Holy Name I pray, joining my prayers to others here, Amen.
Prayers BUMP
Prayers that this surgery may be successful for Jak and that the parents may remain strong and courageous in the face of this trauma.
Prayers for Jak and your entire family. This procedure may have become more commonplace, but it is still stressful for families. Given how far the technology has come since only the ‘80’s, Jak may not have much or any long term effect as medical science advances further.
Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Prayers up for Jack
O God, to whom all things grow, and by whom they are strengthened when grown, stretch forth Thy hand upon Thy servant who is sick at a tender age: that recovering the vigor of health, he may arrive at the fullness of years, and always give unto Thee a faithful and grateful service all the days of his life.
Prayers for little Jak and his family!!!
Your first grandchild! Congratulations! Lord, please heal little Jak and help him to grow in strength and wisdom every day! I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen
Prayers up.
Prayers for little Jak and all of his loving, concerned family.
HI RG!
I’m sending prayers that the surgery was a complete success..
And, HRHS, not HLHS?
I didn’t know that HRHS also had 3 surgeries..
My nephew had 2 open heart surgeries at 2 days old..he’s now 4.5..VERY HEALTHY!! (we joke about the “poor sick baby”..but, it was VERY difficult at first because we were so worried..)
His surgeries were on Sept 12th and he went home by Sept 22nd..
He had 3 other heart defects which aren’t operable but also aren’t life threatening..
He just has heart check ups 1x per year..
My nephew wasn’t a HRHS baby or an HLHS baby, but,we thought he might be so did much research at the time..
My thoughts are with you!
I know MANY people with heart defect babies (including HRHS and HLHS) who are doing well!
One girl with HRHS played on my son’s BASEBALL team :-)
Prayers up for this baby and his family.
Dear FReeper Prayer Warriors, thank you all so very much for your prayers. Our family is truly grateful.
Jak’s surgery went according to plan. We were blessed with an excellent heart surgeon who has performed many of these procedures. The surgery is called the Blaylock-Taussig procedure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blalock-Taussig_shunt). It was featured in the movie “Something the Lord Made” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Something_the_Lord_Made), a wonderful movie which we owned on DVD before any of this started (another God shot).
The next 24 hours are very critical as Jak’s body learns to adapt to the foreign object that was placed in his body. But I know that thanks to the power of prayer, Jak will be ok.
His next surgery will be in 3 to 6 months, also open-heart. Same surgeon. I will continue to update, and will try to get some pictures of him online soon.
Thank you, thank you, thank you all so very much. I know that God loves it when His children (us) come together in His name.
Bless you all.
