Baby Gavin!

Friends and Family, I've been keeping updates on facebook, but realize now that this might reach some that facebook doesn't. I have a dear childhood friend, Natalie (Link) Norton who has been in the PICU at Primary Childrens with her baby boy (he is about 9 1/2 weeks old), for the past week. He started out with RSV, and now has Pertussis (whooping cough) and Pneumonia to go along with it. He has been declared by far the most critical patient in the PICU there. The doctors are now researching stuff because his condition is so rare, they are basically walking a path that has never been walked before there. He is currently having an experimental exchange RIGHT NOW. His mother, an amazing wonderful mother, friend and SO MUCH MORE, has COMPLETE faith that God will heal this baby boy, and they will be able to take him home to his three big brothers, who are back in Hawaii without their parents. Her husband was able to fly in this morning to be back with Nat and Gavin. She has asked that we spread word, ANY WAY POSSIBLE, to ask for immediate prayers on Gavin's behalf. Please read her blog where she has the most recent update as of about an hour ago at www.natalienortonphoto.com . I know without a doubt the Lord can bring the miracle this little guy needs, please join with all of us in praying for this beautiful baby boy! Thank you in advance!

Oh Rachel! That's awful. Our neighbor's two year old had diaphram surgery and a 2 week stay at PCMC this summer and the dad just barely got out of the hospital last week with pneumonia and a bacterial infection. It's so hard to see people you love in those situations. We'll keep them in our prayers.
