Updates on AVERY. (good news update pg 33 post 489!)

[MerryPoppins]

I've lined up an army of prayer warriors. I told six friends last night, who in turn passed the word on to some of their friends. We're all praying without ceasing. My mother listened to the story, prayed and passed on the word. Then she called me back. She said she had a real feeling of peace and believes that Avery will pull through this. I found that comforting and thought I'd share that with you.

I once read an account of a near-death experience where the person "saw" prayers going up to heaven. She said each prayer was like a beam of light shining up. Some were strong beams and others were smaller. Know that heaven is being illuminated with many, bright beams of light for Avery.

Please let us know if you hear anything.

Ann, we saw a miracle with my father from the power of prayer. I will pray that you all start to see an improvement with Avery.

Hugs and prayers to Avery.....c'mon now beat that infection, you can do it.

I know how hard it is though when their immune system is compromised, but Avery you can do it..

Hugs to you Ann...hang in there.....we are a powerful praying group.

No further news at this point.

The prayer volume from my extended DIS family alone is absolutely amazing.....there are individuals and groups all over the US and Canada praying for him.

 

[disfanatiks]

for all of you today.

More prayers being said each and every hour. The scripture on mind throughout last night and today was from I Thessalonians 5:17. "Pray without ceasing..."

And this is just what we have been doing for Little Avery.

My co-worker Gwen said to me today when I gave her an update..."Avery is our superhero and we will focus on that and his healing." Right there in the middle of the department we shared a hug and a tear and hope. And the beauty of that is until later today she had never even seen a picture of little Avery. He is touching so many people.

Well...I have good news, in that I have no bad news!
We just talked to both Avery's dad and mom. It was wonderful to talk to my DIL, it has been days. She is an amazing young woman. SHe's asking ME if I'm OK!! And she extends her thanks and awe at all the prayers and thoughts and kindness being shown to our family.

Avery's condition is still grave, but there are some positives. The infection seems to not be spreading as rapidly. His kidney functioning is improved, the liver not so much but still better than yesterday. He is resting more comfortably depsite all the tubes and such. He watched a little TV today and commented about SpongeBob's toasted marshmallows looking like cotton balls. The fact that he spoke about it with the tube down his throat amazed his daddy more than the comment itself.
He also was concerned that both DS and DIL were there with him ...and said "If you are both here, who is taking care of my sisters?" He was relieved to hear that his Nana, DIL's mom, was with them.

DIL says Avery needs some of his sister Delaney's spunk for this battle, she is such a spitfire and he is so laid back. I told DIL to tell him that he needs to go to WDW and show Kadie the ropes since she wasn't born when we went a couple of years ago. DIL said when we get past this we are ALL going to WDW for a MONTH!!

SO, his condition is still grave, but they are talking about the next few days being critical, as opposed to yesterday when they they didn't seem to be offering much hope for there even being a next few days.

So we shall continue to pray and send Avery our strength and positive energy...and again I thank you all so much for yoru support

His kidney functioning is improved

Excellent news, Ann. He's moving in the right direction.

 

[Jake & Crew]

Just found your thread, catching up and praying through it. I felt the power of prayer, literally felt a peace wash over me, with my battle last year. I am passing that peace and strength to Avery, you, S & DIL, the sisters, the nana, your husband ! You all need and have it.

Most of all push that anger away, it drains too much all positive energy straight to little Avery, he needs all the power he can get!!!!

 

[Mackey Mouse]

So glad to hear the news Ann, it is a step in the right direction. And the praying continues for Avery at my house and everyone else here posting on the thread. It is a good thing...

Now Ann, take some time for you today, please. Put your feet up or go take a brisk walk or even better, buy yourself something nice that will make you happy.. I am worried about you too...

Hugs to you guys....this is hard enough to do under normal circumstances, but around the Holidays it can be even tougher.....take care of yourself and your immediately family, we have Avery on full time praying care here...

Ann, I am glad to hear that the news is better today. I agree with the others, take some time for yourself today. You need to take care of you while you are taking care of others.

 

[snappy]

Very glad to hear good news after all the scary info from the weekend. I hope the kidneys continue to improve and that the liver turns the corner as well.

Thanks so much for posting the news. I feel like I am in this fight with your family, Ann. I think of you guys throughout the day.

 

[MerryPoppins]

I'm so glad to see some good news! I know it's a small step, but it's a small step in the right direction.

I continue to pray and I'll call my friends and family that are praying with the latest update. Keep us informed.

Hi Ann: I hope things will improve even more today for Avery. You are a strong support for your DS and DIL but don't forget about ANN. It is very difficult to have faith sometime but faith can place a candle in the darkest night. Barbara
