Prayer Request

I just received this from Tracy Randall....

Another friend from high school and a friend of Robynn's died on Sunday morning after being hit by a minivan while on a bike ride in Sacramento. Scott Irwin was a great guy and a god loving man with a beautiful young family whose life was cut short in an instant on Sunday morning. Please pray for his wife Michelle and their two kids along with his many friends and other family members as we all deal with this loss.

Please continue prayers for Tait as this is the latest entry about him;

Scott and Amy need our prayers to make a decision about Tait's care. The Drs. think it would be a good idea to give him steroids to improve his lungs. His settings on the ventilator are not decreasing. The steroids can possibly cause severe side affects. Obviously this is an extremely difficult decision. Please pray for them for peace and wisdom to know what to do.

Max continues to struggle and is not making much progress in recovering. He has continued to maintain a fever even after the surgery to to clean up the infection. They are fearful that his body might be rejecting the "hardware" that was placed along Max's spine. He still has a feeding tube, is heavily sedated and his Nutropenia levels are still low. The milestones required to be released are coming at an extremely slow rate. His family was also informed that when he did go home, he would have a PICC line and receive antibiotics for another 6 months since they believe he is still fighting an infection.
When he is released, I will travel to San Bruno to give his family some help and hopefully a little down time;)

Pray On!

Thurs., May 6: Please pray! Tait has been doing well these past couple of days and they are planning to take the ventilator out today. Please pray that he will continue to breathe on his own and it will stay out. This is a big step for little Tait! We are excited for this next step along his way. Thank you all for your prayers for this precious threesome.
