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.
This young man is an inspiration - I pray that God heals him once He is done showcasing him as such.
Prayers fro Richie’s healing and for those who love him that they not despair for him or suffer needlessly.
Prayers, love and cyber hugs, sweet Richie! God bless.
What a sweet baby boy
Prayers
Thanks for the update. I’ll be picking out a card today for that angel.
You are an angel, Amy. God bless Richie and all of his caretakers. Thank you for bringing these updates to us.
Richie's smile lights up the whole internet! (I bet he just loved hearing you singing to him!)
Here's a couple more versions of that song (and another song) that he might get a kick out of, if you ever get a chance to share them with him.
"Jesus Loves Me" (1)
"Jesus Loves Me" (2)
"I've Got the Joy Joy Joy Joy (Down in My Heart)"
Take care, Amy.
Amy, thank you for sharing updates with us. Like you, it’s so difficult to look at this precious boy and his beautiful smiles. Continued prayers for Richie and his family for strength and healing. I am glad you got to visit!! I still pray that whatever it was that caused this will work through this child’s system and he will be free from this illness. Children and prayer are tougher than we know!!!
Blessings always.
Thanks for the update. Glad he is home.
Sent up a prayer for him just now, and for his parents.
Such beautiful pictures, JustAmy! His hair has really grown in so full and a great color, and he still has his angelic smile. The story of your visit is very heartwarming!

Lord God Almighty,
Creator of all, worker of wonders, our Great Redeemer, hear our prayer for Richie!
Have mercy on this little guy, dear Lord, and infuse his body with healing from head to toe.
Have mercy on Brian, Lord, and relieve his mind from suffering and fear, that he would focus only on faith in your outworking of Your rescue plan for this child.
Strengthen Richie’s body, mind, heart and soul for every day, hour and minute that lies ahead, bringing him into a full awareness of Your love and grace.
May Your angels surround this child and support him as he reaches out for wholeness.
We ask a blessing on every member of this family, that relationships between and among them be harmonious and cooperative in every way that pleases You. May each have a peaceful heart to deal efficiently with every other necessity besides Richie’s present challenge, leaving ample time for Richie’s care.
Father, bring a restorative miracle to this child, we pray in Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Joining with you all in continuing prayers.
Amy,
I noticed the point box and the zipcode has some same numbers on the address for Richie’s Birthday cards. Please confirm I have the right address here.

There were 3 cards in today’s mail.
I’m smiling.
Very nice. Will get one out this week.
He suggested that I use FR's P O Box."
