Fever

Please pray for baby Jameson right now. He had a horrible night with many blisters. His temperature is up to 101.6 which is bad for an EB baby. We have been told that when he gets a fever it may present itself with blisters all over his body.

We have a 12:30 appt with the pediatrician and Sara, our good friend and EB mom, says that they will most likely admit him into the hospital.

Hey-
Erin told me earlier about Jameson's fever. We are praying for him and for you all.

I truly enjoyed seeing Jameson and catching up last week. Please know that we are lifting you up and that we are praying specifically for healing, comfort, strength, and a peace that only He can bring.

You all are an encouragement and an inspiration to all of us.

Love,

We have been out of town and just recently heard the news. First of all, congratulations on the newest addition to your family - what a precious baby Jameson is!! Secondly, we are so sorry to hear the news about his EB.

In reading your blog entries to try to understand all your family has been dealing with we, of course, read your entry about Dr. Miller. If you are referring to Dr. David Miller - that is the same surgeon that operated on Hailey at 4 wks. old. He is not only a talented surgeon, but a wonderful man. He made us feel like Hailey mattered to him as much as she did to us; he even came in early at 6:30 am to perform her surgery ASAP because she hadn't been able to eat due to her condition and he wanted her well as quickly as we did. He made us feel as if she was his only patient and kept us completely and honestly informed before, during and after her surgery; not to mention her surgery was a tremendous success. We have no doubt Jameson would be in capable hands...especially if his friend is an EB specialist!

Jameson has already been in our prayers, and he will continue to be. We are praying for your entire family. Jameson is lucky to have such strong and convicted parents and two understanding and loving big brothers.

If we can help in ANY way please don't hesitate to ask!

With love and prayers,
The Kanns
Kraig, Kimberly, Hailey, Trent & Kendall

I am in Angela Waite's Sunday School class here in Mobile, and Sunday morning when I saw J's picture, God just grabbed my heart with a passion to pray for him like I haven't felt in a long time. I think about and pray for J all the time, and want you to know that Angela is making sure everyone she knows is reminded to pray for your son.

We love you and wish you the healthiest and happiest days to come.

todd and melisa- my heart is so heavy over the latest news. i'm so sorry for this setback. we continue to pray faithfully for all five of you, but especially lift baby jameson up and boldly ask for healing. this morning i was reading in one of beth moore's books and something she wrote seemed to just jump off the page to me and bring you to mind......."have you, as i, sometimes cried out to the lord over his purpose in pain? have times of confusion, threat, or loss caused you to petition heaven? have you believed that to know the why would answer your need? i still lack many of those answers, but of two things i am sure. god is strong, and he is loving (ps. 62:11-12). sometimes we can look back and see that god had a better yes to follow a painful no. in many other cases we simply have to continue trusting god's goodness. in this journey i many have learned little of why god chooses to do as he does, but i have found one way god consistently uses the valley. in the land of the shadow, he teaches us to rely on him."......we love you all so much and look forward to the day when the valley will take a different path and the light will warm your faces. love and prayers to you! jennifer

Melisa and Todd:

I just wanted to know we are thinking of you and hope that Jameson is getting better and that the hospital staff is understanding of his EB. I hope his stay is a short one this time. Please let me know if there is anything you need or that I can help with. Sami asked me to let you know that she hopes that she can visit the "little baby boy with boo boo's like mine" again soon:-)
