Can I please just testify about our God?! He is a BIG God and He can do BIG things when His people pray. Bonnie just called and wanted to tell everyone that Ethan is breathing on his own!! No oscillator, no ventilator, no C-PAP....on his own!!! The doctors were very aggressive today about turning down his meds and getting him off the machines. He is only on a very low dose of a couple of medications and getting great results on all his gases and blood pressure test. They are still trying to wrap their minds around the past 24 hours. They give God ALL the glory for this miracle, because that is exactly what it is...a miracle. An answer to prayer. They are so thankful for every prayer that has gone to the Father for Ethan. Please, please pray that he will continue breathing on his own and that his stats will stay up and that he will not have to go back to the ventilator. Bonnie was so excited to hear him cry this evening! That is great because it means he is having to take deep breaths. And to see their sweet, precious baby boy's mouth and nose free from tubes was so wonderful. Thank you, Jesus!!!
Also, they do ask that we pray for Helen. Her innocent little 3 year old mind doesn't really understand all that is happening and why she can't see Ethan. Pray that the Lord will calm her spirit and comfort as well. She has really been a trooper this week. It is the longest she has ever been away from her Moma and Daddy. Pray that God will grant her a special peace for the rest of her visit this week and as she goes home with Nana and Popa on Saturday.
Please still remember to lift up baby JR and his parents, Rudy and Kimberly as well.

GOD is AWESOME! Your strength and Faith amaze me and I know where Ethan is getting his strength from. You both have been a blessing to so many people that past few days and you dont know how many people's lives you have touched through the birth of your baby boy. I want to thank you for sharing your story and opening up my eyes. I am so blessed to know the Williamson family and I am so thankful to be able to be a part of Ethan's journey. May God continue to heal Ethan and may he hold sweet Helen in the palm of his hand and not squeeze her to tightly with his LOVE! I cant wait for the day for Helen to get to hold her Baby Brother again. God Bless you all! We are praying constantly and we love you.
ReplyDeleteWe have been gone this week, but I have had you constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I just couldn't get Ethan and you far from my thoughts.

This is wonderful news. God is greater than we give Him credit for. Kerry and Bonnie, so many people have been touched by your story. Your growth and faith through all of this have really blessed us. God has reminded me that there are prayer warriors out there. I had thought that when I lost Mama I had no others in my life. We will continue to pray for you, Ethan and Helen. God will grant her peace and understanding through this. After all, our God is mighty and powerful. We love you.

So excited to find this update waiting this morning! Praise God! That is such awesome news! I have been praying for little Helen and will continue to do so. I know this must be so confusing for her. The kids are still praying as we are all lifting your family to our gracious Father. Love to all of you.

(Though I've been commenting every day, I might better start telling which Katie it is even though I'm fairly certain you know which one!)
Hey Bonnie and Kerry - it is wonderful to hear how well Ethan is doing! We will continue to pray for all of you.

Kerry and Bonnie, we are so excited about the news about Ethan. God is truly a great God. We are praying for Helen also, as I am sure this is so hard for her. My prayer is that God will help her understand why she is not able to touch Ethan. I also pray for Norman and Theresa as I saw how much they were hurting on Sunday. Look forward to continue to receive good news from Birmingham.
ReplyDeleteLove to all of your family!

ReplyDeleteKerry, Bonnie, and Helen:
ReplyDeleteKnow that we have been and will continue praying for all of you and Ethan. It is truly amazing how God uses situations and circumstances in our lives that appear as tragic to show just how mighty and powerful He is. Truly God's Word is not only true but very much alive. (Pr 3:5-6, Rm 8:28)
