Since my original request for prayers, we are seeing progress. They trached (sp) him a few days ago.

On January 1st, he was able to breathe without the ventilator for 5 hours before getting too tired to continue. About the same time he "kicked" his daddy. Voluntary or reflex but his daddy was thrilled and hopes to be kicked again.

A few days ago, I received this encouraging update. ....
They did a small swallow evaluation today. Just a spoon with a few drops of water; he swallowed and wanted more. This means that his esophagus is capable of moving food down to his stomach. The family says this is great news and please keep the prayers coming. Also, please let everyone how very thankful they are. Lots of work to do but all these baby steps help. .... Thank you, God, for hearing our prayers. 🙏🙏🙏





More good news on the 3rd. Being in his chair is helping with his breathing. Thank you, Father.

We receive bad news on the 4th. :(

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1

Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hoped for.
Job 6:8

The doctors are in agreement that Richie will never progress more than where he is right now. Probably not coming off the ventilator and the physical therapists are saying he has very little voluntary muscle movement. We believe in God’s power. We believe the power of God is above all else.
We ask that He guide Richie’s medical team.
We continue to put our faith in God as we ask for his healing embrace for Richie.
We believe in the power of prayer and thank God for his intervention in Richie’s progress.

We ask that you add Richie’s name to your prayer list and/or church prayer lists. God is listening. ....

Richie is in my prayers and I pray that you and your family gather strength from the love that is coming your way from the wonderful people on FR.

God is great and does not forget the innocent like Richie.

Stay strong.

Are doctors saying this is “Guillain-Barre syndrome?”

A number of these resolve to some extent a few weeks later, as long as doctors are caring for the issue in the meantime.

I hope he is one who comes out of it.

Thank you for the touching pictures.

Dear God, you know all things and you know this litte guy through and through. Please extend your healing hand to him; and please envelop him and his family in peace and calm and alertness to your blessings. Dear Christ, I know you love them all so much. Make our hearts like yours.

Thank you Jesus!!! Jesus gave dad a sign that Richie is healing and having dad back and all the prayers for complete healing! When the power of The Spirit moves, we are in awe and thankful, but we don’t have to see to know God is working!

Prayers for Richie and family and care givers. Praying Psalm 138 (Praise for answered prayer!!) and Psalm 23 right to their spirits!!

Praise God from whom ALL blessings abundantly flow.

Dear Heavenly Father, We thank you for what you are doing in the lives of little Richie and his family. We pray for his continued healing. . .giving You all the glory. What a blessing from You. In Jesus Name, Amen

[YouGoTexasGirl]

Know that Richie and his mom and dad are in my prayers many times daily. I hope that this weekend they pass the test so Richie can go home to their care.

I still have faith that he will be walking one day as I remember the video of daddy tickling his foot and it moving!

I plead with Jesus to release Richie from this binding of paralysis and I think Richie is also pleading with all that talking! Blessings to you and family during this time of prayer and hope for complete healing.

Richie is always in our thoughts and prayers. Stay strong! God bless!
