Still believing
Greetings from Seattle Children's Hospital, where it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. The snow is falling and we are enjoying the view from Braden's room. It's fun to think about him all bundled up, out playing in the backyard with his big sisters next year. But for now he's on a pretty strict routine...resting, some awake time, then some sleep, a diaper change here and there, then more sleep, some awake time, and more sleep. He's taking it all in stride. Overall, Braden is pretty comfy and cozy.Braden is having a good day. Here is the latest: - His pacemaker is still needed as of right now, but we are believing for a miracle.
- Tomorrow the doctors are hoping to remove the breathing tube!
- Braden's lymph nodes are still in the process of healing; we pray that they will do so quickly.
- Last night they were able to remove one large and two small tubes from his chest. (There is only one drain tube left, plus the pacemaker wires.)
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave comments on the blog or send us emails. Jenni and I have been so encouraged! In fact, some have sent written prayers and Bible verses for Braden. This gave us an idea; we would like to print these prayers and Scriptures to hang them in Braden's room. If you have a specific prayer or Bible verse that you would like to share, please email or post it and we will add them to the ones we have already had on our hearts to pray over our son. Thank you!Darth & Jenni

Hi, Darth and Jenni,
What a beautiful boy God has blessed you with! I have been reading your blog daily since Pastor Jerry shared the link with the email prayer team, and praying for all of you often and believing and agreeing with you in prayer for Braden's complete healing. Here's the verse that immediately came to mind for Braden:
Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Also this one for you two: Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Much love in Jesus,
Cheryl Adkins
Jenni and Darth-
You are in our hearts as you continue this healing process with Braden. What a complete and awesome trust you have in God that fills his room and fills that hospital floor. We will continue to pray for trust and strength for your hearts and minds.
Isaiah 26:3
" You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you."
God Bless you,
Jon, Jen & Izzie Brown

God bless sweet Braden and your family...thinking and praying for you all. Here's a wonderful verse I came upon today-
"In your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." 1 Peter 3:15
Your family exhibits this HOPE and FAITH in our Lord with each and every post. Thank you for your example to us all. Hugs from one heart mom to another!
Love,
Katie (Maddie's mom, HRHS)

Hi Creek family!
Here are some of my favorite verses that often redirect my anxious mind:
"Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Whatever you have learned from me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."
Philippians 4:8-9
And for Braden
"The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail."
Isaiah 58:11
Love & gratitude for His promises!
