MOVED TO 7TH FLOOR!













Witt waited patiently to be moved to his new room on the 7th floor! Finally around 7pm today Witt was moved! Not that Witt cares because his same bed goes with him but Melanie now has a bed and her very own bathroom with a shower! He did spike a fever earlier today too but we are sort of getting used to that!!!
Today Melanie and Austan found out that Witt's insurance has capped out. They really need prayer for favor as they try once again for medicaid as well as continuing to put Witt on whatever program waiting list they can. There is something else I would like to share with all of you...Austan was actually laid off effective this past January. Honestly, this has been such a blessing because Austan has been able to be with Witt and Melanie every step of the way! I don't know how he managed before to work and be at the hospital. Austan's boss felt so bad about having to do this. He put it off as long as he could. Austan was one of the last in his group let go. They are still being denied medicaid even with no income because the amount they have left over in their account from the Wee Dream Fundraiser. We are trusting God for their financial needs. God is Trustworthy...He holds Witt's life in His hands...He has a financial plan too! Please pray that God will not only direct their steps but that He will have gone before them and prepared the way!!!
Some of you reading the blog may have some great ideas and suggestions that you would like to share with Melanie and Austan. Please feel free to email me with these at kmccord525@yahoo.com and I will pass them on!!!!

Praise God. I know He will provide for them and will see that their needs are met. I believe that with all my heart. He has never let go of them and He won't stop now.

Praying for Witt's continued healing and for Austan and Melanie's financial situation to be resolved. Asking for God's perfect timing in providing just the right job for Austan to enjoy and excel in. Praying too that God's perfect peace would uphold and comfort all of you!

Karen we continue to pray for Witt and we rejoice in his move up today! Praise the Lord we know that God is our ultimate provider and He will continue to provide for Austan, Mel and Witt. It is exciting to see all that He has done for them so far and we wait with excitement as He continues to carry them through this journey! Love you all!

In Philippians 4:19, we are promised, "My God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Since the insurance has maxed out, it will be exciting to see how God supplies this need. I'm praying for peace that passes understanding in the mean time!

I happened upon this blog last summer and have been reading your updates everyday. I too am praying for little Witt and for Austan and Melanie to make it through this spiritually and financially. It's scary when you have to worry about healthcare coverage and job security on top of your first concerns of Witt. I hope and pray that help will come at the right time. Stay strong!!

Let me think on this..No one in your family has time or the energy for fund raising...talk to your Minister and your church members, maybe they have some ideas..maybe with the new health reform Witt's insurance will be covered..send us your postal address and ask for funds for Witt..take care..
