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.
Wonderful story! "If you're looking for the hand of God, sometimes it's on the end of someone's arm."
Freepmail for you!
Look at that sweet smile :-) Praying hard for him.
Prayers for Richie and his family.
Prayers for this dear child and his family.
The smile of an angel.
He is beautiful. Prayers up.
Can he swallow?
Prayers for Richie. I know how brutal this can be to the ones who love him.
Awww... look at his sweet smile. :-)
Thank you for sharing the beautiful photo! Praying now that rehab will help Richie. Rehab may be the beginning of a long road to recovery. Praying for strength for Richie and his parents and family on that road.
One day at a time Little Ritchie, one day at a time.
Prayers continue for your recovery, and peace for you and your whole circle of family and friends and doctors.
FATHER, we ask You keep watch over this infant.
Bless him with the finest of care in order that
he regains the gifts You gave him at birth.
Please fill him with spirit and determination to once
again be that perfect child first brought home from the
hospital.
Father, You have told us all things are possible for those who ask.
We continue to pray for Your Healing Touch on this child.
Thank you for all. Amen.
Prayers still needed for Little Ritchie, but check out the smile....

Thanks for the ping, Kathy.
I’ve been wondering how Richie was doing.
What an absolute living doll he is. Able to smile with all this going on too.
Prayers continue for this little man that he’ll soon be able to move and breathe on his own again.

Aria, thank you for your prayers.
Yes, he can swallow and eats some, but not enough. When he was first given applesauce, he loved it. He is being given baby food. They are discussing giving him less by feeding tube in hopes that if he gets hungry, he will eat more.
One day last week he had zucchini, pears and corn. When he didn’t want more, he shook his head no.
He seems to be making tiny baby steps and we thank God for all his blessings on Richie.
Prayers up.
Oh my Goodness.. That is Great news! Continued prayers for Richie and his family!
Lord Jesus Christ, restore, we beseech Thee, the full health of Thy infant servant.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
