Prayer Request- Update 2

Hello everyone,

At this point, Gabriel is no longer on the ventilator, praise God. He is still in the incubator. Liz will be discharged tonight. It seems that he is out of immediate danger, and it will just be a slow process towards getting him healthy, strong, and home. I do not think that I will have anything to update for at least a few days. I will let you know if anything seriously changes or if he is released.

Thank you for your continued prayers,

Brian

Prayer Request- Update 1

Hello everyone,

I have a bit more information about Gabriel. He is still on a ventilator, but they can tell that he is breathing somewhat on his own power. So, that is good news. They did an echo-cardiogram and his heart looked pretty good. It appears as though one chamber is not pumping as hard as it should, but they think that this will likely improve over time. With oxygen deprivation, brain damage is the fear. Of course, there is no way to test this. We will just have to wait and see. Gabriel will be in the hospital for at least a week. Liz will be discharged tomorrow.

Thank you for your continued prayers. I will update you more when I get more information.

Prayer Request

Hello, everyone. I am not sure how many of you know of Becca's older sister Kim (Massanari) Kahan. She and her husband live in Maryland. Kim's oldest son, Jacob, just had a baby with his wife, Liz. I know that sounds a little confusing. The point is that the baby, Gabriel, was delivered last night with some complications. Due to things I do not understand, the baby was without oxygen for an unknown amount of time. Last we heard (at about 5:30am), the baby was stable but on a ventilator.

Please pray for Gabriel's health and for the family in general.

I will keep you updated as I know more.

Toby's Deer

On Sunday night Toby, took his first deer with a bow.  He shot it at 18 yards dropping in its tracks. It is a 3x3 buck.  Mattie was in a ground blind with me.  We saw lots of deer and actually shot a doe but did not find it.  Sam and Jesse were in other stands.  They are not yet carrying a bow.  Both saw lots of deer including one very large buck.

 

On Wednesday the kids had off from school so we went in the morning.  Sam and Jesse saw a couple of deer.  I saw none and Toby shot his second deer.  The archery permits have a bonus doe permit so Toby let a small buck walk and then shot this doe.  She was 26 yards away and his shot again dropped her in her tracks.  We now have lots of meat in the freezer.
