Thursday

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,

as though you were working for the Lord and not for people.

~Colossians 3:23 (TEV)~

Thank God for the veterans who have served and are serving for our country.

Jadon’s Story

Sorry I did not have time to update yesterday. My mommy has been very busy studying this new diet, plus we had a very bad day yesterday. First of all, they had to wake me up during the night to check my blood sugar. Well this messed with my sleeping pattern and of course every time you mess with my sleep my seizures go up. So I had a lot of seizures yesterday. Then they tried to give me my medicines in water. Come on, do you know how disgusting that is? Can you guess what I did? Your right I vomited them right up. My mommy tried to tell them but once again they don’t like to listen to her. Well once that happened they finally decided they were going to have to give my medicines with my meals. All of this so could have been prevented. After that I wouldn’t eat my lunch. I mean who would want to eat after that dramatic experience. I finally ate around 2:30. My blood sugar also dropped yesterday morning to 49 so they had to give me apple juice. This messed my ketones up which was so discouraging to us. My mommy called one of her friends who lives in NOLA whose daughter is on the ketogenic diet. She came to the hospital and talked to my mommy which helped a lot. My mommy has a phone call in to an herbologist who specializes in the keto diet. The herbologist is going to look at my meal plans and help us with the diet. We don’t feel like they are doing enough here for me. Mommy and daddy said they will fight for me and make sure we are doing this diet correctly. The good news is my seizures are back to normal and my ketones are higher today. They are still not at my goal, but they are higher. Other than that, I am very tired and ready to get out of here. I don’t know when I will get to go home but hopefully it will be sometime this afternoon. I will keep you all updated. Please pray for us, we are very exhausted and very stressed right now. We can do this though.

TODAY’S PRAYER
IMB
NOVEMBER 11, 2010

“I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also,

because for this purpose I have been sent.”

~Luke 4:43~

WORLD LEADERS. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Please pray today for President Denis Sassou-Nguesso of Republic of the Congo (central Africa, north of Angola).

EUROPEAN PEOPLES. “Last month we asked you to pray for the harvest celebrations that are traditionally held in Baptist churches in the Black Sea Orthodox Cluster area in the fall. Thank the Father for His answer, as seen in a new church start in the eastern Ukraine city of Donetsk. Our personnel had challenged the church to pray daily for laborers for the harvest in the two weeks preceding their harvest celebration. The next Sunday, seven of those in attendance, from 12 years to 65 years old, responded to the call to repentance and faith in Christ. Thank you for being a part of the ministry of the teams in the Black Sea Orthodox Cluster by joining us in prayer.”

ILUN OF ASIA (i-lun). Thank the Lord that there are 12 new brothers and sisters among this people group! Pray that they will be grounded in their new faith and produce much fruit for God’s glory.

Thank a veteran today!
