The surgery is over...Witt is back in the room...
And now he rests!
Wow...what a God...what a God glorifying day!!!! The presence of God has at times been overwhelming. He is always More Than Able!!! As I write this post my heart is very saddened for the family just across the hall from Witt. I met them this morning and had the blessing of praying with them. Their 19 year old son, Reggie, has crashed twice this evening. He has a very rare immune system disorder. In the very short time that I have gotten to know them I have cried with them, prayed with them, held them and most importantly praised our God with them. I see God in this family!
Family and friends all gathered here today to show support for Witt, Melanie and Austan. And if they couldn't be here they were praying and texting me to keep a close eye on our situation. John Young from our church stopped by...he always shows up in God's perfect timing. He even took the opportunity to encourage and pray with another dad(Paige's dad). And Mona brought strawberries along with fudge to dip them in...somethings are more than essential! I see God in family members and friends!
All of you who follow Witt's blog and pray for us were felt here. You rallied around us by your prayers and comments. Your words were so soothing and encouraging. I see God in our blogger family!
Melanie and Austan....my sweet Mel and tender hearted Austan....they continue to glorify God in the way they walk through this. This is a hard hard walk...one that they didn't choose but God chose for them. They bring God glory and don't even realize it most of the time. Life is not sucked out of them and their joy is not stolen. I see God in Melanie and Austan!
AND Witt...just look at that face of Witt's...need I say anymore than I simply see the essence of our God all over those tape-free cheeks.
Thank You, Lord...thank You for being Lord of all the events of today. You are Mighty...Mighty to Save!!!!

Those are some beautiful tape-free cheeks. :)
Beautifully said.....and that precious face says it all.
As we sang "Witt's Anthem" tonight at church, I knew that was a God-incidence, not a coincidence! Lisa Pierre asked me to let y'all know she is praying for Witt! Karen, thanks for the updates on the other families in he PICU. I'm sure all Witt's followers want to pray for these other families as well, so keep us all posted on their prayer requests too. Tell Mel I will get gingerbread men as soon as possible!
I praise the Lord that he is out of surgery and resting well. What a sweet face he has. I love you all so much and wish I could be there with you! I am so thankful to be apart of a family that loves and serves God no matter what. Hugs to everyone!!!

And, I assure you that we all see God in YOU...and, by your words we all learn to see God more clearly in our own lives. Thank you, Karen, for always being our rock! (and, today I saw the MAMA BEAR in you, too!)
I love you dearly!
To see his sweet face after surgery is all the proof I need to know God is there. Witt has God's favor and all of y'all are walking in His grace.

Praise God for Witt's successful surgery, and thank you Karen, for your faithful witness to us all of your strong faith! Prayers continue for a speedy recovery for precious Witt!
Witt looks like an angel, his face is the face of peace and God's love. I'm so honored by the fact that thru you and this blog many have been blessed by getting to know Witt, Mel and Austan. I praise God for those He had placed closed to you, some to be ministered by you and some to ministered to you. I will continue praying for you all, God is good, always, no matter the circumstances. Thank you God. Blessings, Marta.
What a beautiful face! What a wonderful God!
Our hearts and prayers are with you. God's plans are perfect!
We love you all very much!
