I am asking for a prayer request today, My grandson who has been on a transplant list since shortly after he was born, who will now be 5 in April and we just got the call that he will get his transplant.
As for the family of the donor:
Greater love has no one than this:
to lay down ones life for ones friends.
John 15:13
Prayers for the little one, Jaxson, who will receive this gracious gift.
Wisdom for the medical staff.
Safety for travels.
Healing of the body and comfort for the soul.
In Jesus Name
Amen
Prayers up.
PLEASE Keep us posted.
What type transplant if you don't mind saying.
Prayers for you, your family, and especially the precious child.
Please provide updates when you have them. :-)

I have a grand daughter the same age. I can’t imagine how heartbreaking this is. Prayers for your precious grandson and your family, may God’s miraculous healing embrace him.
Intended that reply for post #1 - so I will post again. Two is always better than just one, anyway.
Prayers for all concerned.

Lord God Jesus Christ, rest with the saints the soul of Thy infant servant who died and donated his organs.
May the surgery be a success. We pray for healing of the recipient of the transplant, and for Katie and for Jaxson.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
That’s good news, prayer is coming.
I have posted about this before, in other hard times, but for those who don't know, here is a little history, Jaxson was 10 weeks premature because of the gastroschisis condition. Katie went into labor early because if she didn't, neither one of them would likely be here today, his bowels, outside his body had turned septic. He was delivered by C section and rushed into the operating room. When he came out, he only had 8cm of bowels left, between the stomach and colon. The hospital was a second home for him for first few years, past couple things have settled down a little and he has been going to special needs preschool and just been a trooper with all he has been put through in less than 5 years now. About 2 years in, they did a bowel stretching surgery, it had grown some anyway, they went in and zigzag cut it and doubled the length it was at the time.
Jaxson has survived on TPN (Total parental nutrition) he is hooked up to pumps 20 hours a day (as much as 24 at times) and the 4 he is unhooked corresponds to his preschool time, so he gets to feel somewhat normal for 4 hours. Long term TPN use is damaging to the liver and when they do this bowel transplant, they will also do the liver and I believe she said the pancreas too.
Thanks again for the prayers, I will keep you updated.
Prayers out. All will go well with God’s hand guiding the surgeon.
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensès.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c'est à Toi qu'appartiennent le règne, 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 bènie 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!)

Thank you for all these details.
It sounds as though Jaxson is a real trooper.
God bless the entire family as well as Jaxson as they encounter this procedure and recovery time.
Prayers for Jaxson and your family. God Bless!
