Day 5


This may be odd for some of you, but we are going to pray for his skin...specifically the skin around Seton’s feeding tube (mic-key button) on his stomach. Since this button goes straight into his stomach, it can leak stomach contents. When it leaks it causes his skin to break out in a rash or gets an infection. It is basically a piece of plastic that sits on his skin, never moves and stays wet…can you imagine that feeling?
We are currently fighting an infection that he has had for a couple of weeks. It can be very painful for him when we clean it, which we do several times a day. We have to also be extremely careful when we are cleaning it so that we do not spread the infection anywhere else, like the diaper area. 

Please pray that his skin and button site will clear up and stay clear and that no other area of skin will be affected. If we can get the infection clear…the button will fit better and not leak as much.

“Nothing, you see, is impossible with God.” Luke 1:37 (MSG) 

Thank you all so much for your prayers, it means so much to us! 

A little side note --- Seton has had 4 good restful nights in a row! J
