Prayer Request for Freeper's Son

Me | Today | Self

[kimmie7]

I just got the news that my precious son's (age 4) blood tests are back. He has Alpha 1 and the numbers on his liver enzymes are shooting up again.

His alkalines have almost doubles, as have ALT and AST. In short, it's not real good. Our wonderful doctor wants to check again in 3 months, but thinks we'll be headed back to Vandy for more aggressive treatment.

Please pray for his health & healing if it is God's will. Also, please pray for us as we cope. I will most certainly give God the glory and ya'll my heartfelt thanks.

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AAT Deficiency or Alpha-1) is one of the most common serious hereditary disorders in the world and can result in life-threatening liver disease in children and adults or in lung disease in adults.

I'm going to have a bit of a cry now. He begged to go to Granny's for a few hours and I just couldn't say no.

[Believer 1]

There are no words of value that I have but prayers, and I will pray for you and your precious child. The greatest strength you have is Jesus.
My heart aches for you, dear Kimmie7.

[DrewsDad]

We will add Jacob to our prayer list. It's great to hear that you have an excellent Dr. and trust in an Awesome God.

Prayers for the Lord's healing powers on your precious son.

[StarCMC]

Prayers lifted for your family kimmie!

[EagleMamaMT]

God bless your precious son and your whole family, kimmie. I'll be praying for Jesus's healing power to manifest itself in your sweet little boy.

[lonestar]

Prayers sent.

[etabeta]

will certainly pray for the full recovery of your little boy. Miracles do happen and the power of prayer is awesome. My grandson was born with cancer and lost a kidney at age 2 1/2. I know the stress and the tears but somehow, knowing that so many people were praying for him, it helped us get through that period. Blessings to you and little Jacob.

Oh, kimmie.....I'm so sorry. I wish I knew something about this disorder to help you with info. My prayers are definitely with you and your son.

May God hold you and your family close to Him now, and give you peace. May He use his magnificent healing powers to help your son, and guide the doctors and nurses who care for him, in Jesus' name.

kimmie7, Prayers being sent that precious Jacob will be healed.

Prayers also, that our Lord will give you and your family the strength, comfort and peace to help little Jacob through this illness.

I too have a son with a severe illness. He is 33 now. The one thing I have learned (and I still forget) is One hour, One Day at a time.

I hope you have fully recovered from your incident...."Little Miss Muffet"

Please pray for his health & healing if it is God's will.

It is God's will, absolutely. By His stripes...

[kimmie7]

Thanks Fran. That means a lot.

I am healed, but have (and will retain) a hole in my hip from my tuffett incident. Thanks for remembering! ;-)

I'm doing better today. I'm thinking of taking him to Boston for second opinions and more treatment options.

[Mamzelle]

Many prayers for comfort and recovery.

[M0sby]

We are praying and praying!
I hope you can find some measure of peace today to get some rest.

I will put Jacob on the next prayer update on the thread Logan's Miracle room.

Come visit us if you haven't already.
A mighty group of warriors ready to pray and pray!

Love to you~

Sincerely,

Hi kimmie;

Boy, you have my prayers. And a lot of understanding with liver disease.

A "good" cry is cathargic,.. and I know that you have the strength and the heart to keep the faith. A TON of prayers are going up for *all of you* RIGHT NOW!! I hope you can FEEL them!

Precious little guy!! I wish I could give both of you a big hug!

God willing he will NEVER need a liver transplant! From what little I've read about it, as I understand it he has an abnornal "protease inhibitor" gene (piZZ). I had often hoped and prayed the the protease inhibitor would be my cure all. It is such an important gene for the liver. So they have a much better understanding of this gene's role in the liver than they did even 5 years ago. Which has really given me a lot more hope in recent years.

Just know that our Father in heaven LOVES the little children, and He loves YOU.

So, we are just going to remember all the amazing things that have happened on this forum from all of us PRAYING together, K?

Remember "when many gather in His name"....

AND WE ARE MANY!! :o)

So, keep the faith Mom!!
