Please Pray for Dax



As many of you may remember from many many months ago, I mentioned a boy named Dax (him and his mom on the left). He is adopted by a wonderful family that knew he had some serious health issues when he was born. He is only 2 right now and is in desperate need of a kidney. His mother posts updates about him on thier blog. Please pray for this family and for God to do a miracle in this little boy's body. The mother recently posted a blog about her struggle to comprehend happens when a kidney comes along for him and how hard it will be to let him go into surgery not knowing if he we survive it.

"Heavenly Father, I lift up this family right now... just thinking about how stressed our household was this morning just getting ready for our "first parade" (our son Levi was walking with the Cubscouts) and now thinking about the Ottinger family, really puts things into perspective. Please strengthen Dax and prepare him for a liver and bring a liver into his life that is compatible and before his body is beyond being able to handle a surgery. Prepare his mom to lay him at Your feet and in the hands of capable doctors that will do the surgery. If you so choose to give Dax a liver prepare the family that will have to lose someone. It's so hard to think about this type of situation... so we ask that You will get amazing glory through it all.
