Praying for Baby Izzy

I have always believed in God's Grace and his ever amazing Miracles. Afterall Miracles happen every day. I don't know much about little baby Israel "Izzy" and his family, but one thing I do know is that they desperately need our prayers. Izzy is a 5 month old little boy and is currently in the hospital in PA. He was found not breathing almost two weeks ago and the doctors have determined that it was atleast for 30 minutes. They did an MRI and determined there was no brain activity except for his brain telling his lungs to breathe. I have been told by my friend, September, who gives me updates when she can, that he will open his eyes and can move his limbs, but this is simply just his nerves making him do this and not his brain. He was on a ventalator, but they were able to remove it and he is breathing on his own. With that came more bad news though, they found moisture on his lungs and this can lead to infection. I cannot even begin to imagine being in his parents shoes. It makes me realized just how truly blessed I am to have a happy and healthy 19 month old little boy running around. When I was first informed about Izzy, the first thing that came to mind was that this could be Jeremy and I. Tears began running down my face and I immediately ran to my son and picked him up. I held on to him for as long as he would let me and thought about what I would do if I were in Izzy's parents situation. Would I have the strength to make it through? Children are a blessing and a precious Miracle from God. What would I do without my Miracle?
I am asking that everyone stop and say a little prayer for Izzy and his parents everyday. Prayer is a powerful thing and without it, I don't know what we would do. I pray for wisdom in the doctors and strength for his parents and close family. Yes, I am praying for a Miracle and that God would touch Izzy and he would be able to say "Hello World" again, but most of all I pray that God's will be done in this little boy's life.

  1. Thanks Dallas! Dani, Jon and Izzy need all the prayers they can get, as well as the rest of my family!
    They have stopped allowing visitors except for immediate family to help prevent infections now that he is no longer on the ventilator.
