Update on WilliamÂ
We are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support our family has received in the last few weeks. The kind words, warm meals, texts, emails, calls, gifts and most importantly prayers have meant a lot to us.
My weekly appointment revealed lower amniotic fluid than the previous week, but I was approved to carry William until my appointment next week. We hit the 36 week mark next week, and this will be a great milestone. Next week they will measure the fluid again to decide if it is safe for him to remain inside until the next appointment.
We do not know what the future holds but are in constant prayer for strength and wisdom to handle what will come. We are trusting in God wholeheartedly to lead us. Please pray for peace as we wait on his plan.
Please keep praying for healing of William’s body, lung development, and the doctor’s decision on when to deliver him.
This verse was shared with me this week and has spoken to my heart…
Habakkuk 2:3
For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it;
it will surely come; it will not delay.
You have always given to your world. Your future now will be given back in love. Prayers and love are streaming to you.
Prayers and love always wins. stay strong in Christ’s Name !!!!!
Kaylee, your strength through all of this amazes me! Garrett and I both are praying for your sweet family!
Praying for you and your sweet family!
I am praying for sweet William right now. I am praying Isaiah 43:2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned:” Job 42:2 “That He can do all things and no plan of His can be thwarted.” Love you and Matchett will continue to pray.
I am reading the Red Sea Rules. It says when we don’t know what to do, we must trust God with the impossible and leave room for Him to work, for the Lord has promised to fight for us. He is the one who goes with you. He will never leave you ar forsake you. I am praying always for William ( my loved grandson) Matchett (my wonderful and loved son) and Kaylee (my wonderful and loved daughter-in-law). You guys are the best parents already. William is a blessed little boy. We are truly blessed to have you in our lives.
This hasn’t been easy. I don’t ever want to minimize your pain. I can’t imagine how it must feel. I want you to know that I’ve been crying with you, and I admire your courage.
Today I was thinking about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They refused to submit to the easy way out. They believed in a miracle that they didn’t know would happen or not. They believed in deliverance. Daniel 3 basically says, ‘Our God will deliver us from this really terrible thing, but if not we won’t change the way we worship because he is still good.’
and then in Luke 8 there is a woman who has been sick for 12 years, and she only touches the fringe of Jesus’ clothes and he heals her because of her faith.
This is the last one I promise. In Mark 2 a crippled man and his friends went to see Jesus and they couldn’t get near him because there was a giant crowd, so his friends removed the roof of the building lifted him on the roof and lowered him down. When Jesus saw their faith he was healed.
I’m not saying that William will be healed or not, but I am so thankful that we are people that can and will believe in his healing and we are creating a community of people that would climb a building and remove a roof just so that William could have a chance to see Jesus.
There’s really nothing I wouldn’t do for him. I love that boy and I can’t wait to meet him. I love you, Match and Kaylee.
My friend shared this prayer with our church class this morning on behalf of baby William and I wanted to share with you all:
Please continue to pray for wisdom for the doctors concerning the best time for baby William’s delivery. (Tomorrow is their next checkup) Please be interceding on behalf of Matchett and Kaylee and the rest of the family. Pray his parents will find comfort, strength, encouragement, direction, and help in their time of need. Our GOD is able! Please pray HE will wrap them in HIS love and be their burden bearer. Pray they will find rest for their souls in the midst of this difficult place. Pray they will gaze at our Savior and find renewal and refreshment in HIM. THANK You for praying.
