Prayer Warriors have seen this but we need everyone to offer prayers for Richie.
First a little history .... The last week of November, Richie received several vaccines which included the flu vaccine.
On December 2nd, he was hospitalized with paralysis of his arms and legs. He was put on a respirator and the outlook was bleak. I posted a note on FB asking for prayers from family and friends.
Richie is the grandson of a cousin who is more like a little brother than a cousin.
I vote for #1. Such a wonderful spirit in this little guy.
Oh, my Jesus, we ask that you lay your Healing Hands upon this sweet child. Send to his parents, Lord, comfort and solace and acceptance of whatever is your will in this situation.
The first one! What a sweet and laid-back child. Such placidity in the face of all this. Prayers up, of course.
Can’t decide, he is so sweet!
Poor baby, it breaks my heart to see him like that. I will be so glad when he finally is free of all that and living a normal happy life.
Such a sweet, brave little soul!
Easy Peasy ;)
Numero tres :)
Heavenly Father, keep this little one, and all who care for him, safe and strong in Your hands.
Tatt
They are all beautiful.
Prayers.
I can see why you’d have a hard time picking your favorite one. I can’t choose either!
What a brave and strong little guy he is. May God continue to watch over him and make him stronger each day.
I love all 3 pictures. I pray for Richie everyday.
All of them... darn he is soooo handsome! Keep it up Richie!!
Amy, tell Bryan and Shannon that we are SO appreciative of the pictures! Richie is such a beautiful spirit and soul and I see Jesus in him radiating out to us in his eyes and smile.
As we continue in patience and prayer, Jesus, we ask in prayers of faith, without doubt, that we see healing for Richie. Build up his lungs and remove all damaged cells to full health. You are feeding his life with such peace, we ask that you also add real food! Restore him to be the child we all see running and talking and loving You and all who love him! Thank you Jesus for your daily bread in giving strength and power and the best care for Richie and his parents and medical staff. We love you Jesus and thank you for your work through the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The third photo has the biggest smile. What a sweetheart! Continued prayers for little Richie.
Prayers up.
Thanks so much for the new picture. He is too cute to have us choose one.
May God heal his cells from within and let His power radiate outward for all to see His love.
Richie’s smile is biggest in Picture #3, so THAT’S my favorite! :-)
Bottom one & the twinkle in his eye! Prayers Richie!
I like all of them, but the bottom one with his smiling little face is my favorite. I look forward to seeing him untethered from those machines.
I love every one of them! What a sweet smile in the midst of what we all know has to be very difficult for such a young child to endure. I wish I could give him a little kiss and hug and tell him how much he is loved.
I remember Richie often during the day and pray for him. I sincerely hope and pray his parents are strengthened and comforted by the many, many people who are praying for them. I also hope that what must be staggering medical bills by now are being covered by the manufacturers of the drug that made him so ill.
God bless and protect this sweet boy. I can’t tell you how many times each day I think of his sweet face and say a prayer.
Here's some background music, if Richie wants to take a little snooze there.
I agree with you LUV.. that top one is adorable and they are ALL GREAT..
Praying constantly for this precious baby.
