Beloved, tonight BJ rests in his bed... finally on the ground, free of ECMO. He has resided 6 feet in the air for the past 3 1/2 weeks (for ECMO) with his bed on a motorcycle lift to allow gravity to work in returning the blood to the filter.
An excited medical staff person came down the hall tonight to show us the amazing change in his chest x-ray...today alone. Tonight the film shows 2 lungs that are (ventilator) inflated, with little fluid/pneumonia left in them. Lord we lift Up Praise!!!
His SATs remain in the 90's tonight. His blood gases have improved into the 70's for PO2...Thank you Lord!
The central line is successfully in! We have much to be thankful for.
Ahead, he faces fighting infection, his kidneys aren't functioning right, he's extremely swollen and will get worse...in short it's a delicate balancing act.
We praise our Lord for all the miraculous answers to prayer today!
BJ's dad

Hey my name's Rosemary M... I just found out about B.J., nonetheless I'm definately praying for him, and you all.. I pray that God would be glorified in this. I have a question if I might ask..Does B.J. know the Lord?
I'm from Kentucky so feel free to add that to the map..:)
Blessings in Christ,
Rosemary
Praise the Lord for His goodness to us. 5 sent to bed after finishing more prayers for a dear friend they have never met, but seen God work through in mighty ways. Little Ashley's prayer was for the number to stay in the 90 and his body to work. Out of the mouths of babes. Our prayers will continue through the evening and through the night. We love you.

Higgins family-
I have been following BJ's story for weeks. I heard of it from Layla Zandi of Northside and was absoluting touched, inspired, and driven to pray! My husband and I have told many others. We are absolutely in awe of not only BJ's strength and testimony but your strength and testimony as well as a family! I knew Lauren as a freshman at Lawrence North as I was in marching band with her, and I knew I saw something different in her. It runs in the family! PRAISE GOD FOR HIS CONTINUED HAND IN BJ'S HEALTH! We won't stop praying!

I check this blog site throughout the day to keep up with things and to know how to pray specifically. Thanks to you for being faithful to keep us all in the loop. You have so much other stuff to deal with. . .
I wanted to share the email I sent out to my address book on August 25th. I know B.J. is precious to you because he is your son. It will be many years--maybe heaven--before you'll see whole bunches of ways that God is using this fight for B.J.'s life. This is just one way that I see God is using you all:
**********************************
Dear Friends,
I just wanted to share something very cool with you. My young friend Brittany is a missionary with AweStar. She called me the other night and told me about her friend B.J. He's a missionary with Awestar also, and he's pretty ill right now. Brittany asked if I would pray for him. So I did.
Then she sent me this email a few days later, with a web site address that she wanted me to see.
www.prayforbj.com
So I checked it out.
Here's the thing: You know how there's all this garbage out there on the Internet? Pornography, and hate, and bomb-making instructions, and even a site for married people to meet someone to have an affair with. . .definitely NOT God stuff.
This blog site about B.J.--you have to see it to believe it. There are believers literally all over the world praying for this young man. Not only praying for him, but encouraging his family. And if you read even just a few of the comments people have left, you will also be encouraged.
What a privilege it is to be a part of the Body of Christ! The Bible says that when one member of the Body suffers, we are all affected. What's happening to B.J. right now is fulfilling Scripture that was written forever ago. B.J. is hurting, and we the Body are hurting with him.
And God did all this! On the Internet! Makes me want to laugh in Satan's face and say, "What you meant for evil, Yahweh is using for good!" Just like He promised us He would.
Check out this site: www.prayforbj.com
Pray for B.J. and his family.
Read the comments.
Know that when you do, you are participating in God's hand's moving on the Internet!! Thank You, Jesus!!
******************************
I am encouraged by the reports from today--and know also that this journey is far from complete. You are all on my mind and heart, and I continue to pray.

What wonderful news! We have been praying and checking for updates all day long. This morning, I had a little chat with Sammy and told him that he needed to make sure that he prays extra hard for BJ today. Sammy slept off and on quite a bit today, and we wondered if he was talking with Jesus while he was asleep.
Today was a huge day for BJ, and we pray that tomorrow will reveal even more positive surprises to blow the minds of the doctors!
We will definitely lift up prayers and praises tomorrow morning.

Wow! How the Lord's ways confuse the world! It's amazing how His works continue to baffle the "experts". Praise God for his mercies. May we be obedient to Him, may we remain in petition to Him for BJs continued improvement as he battles each issue.
I love the following scriptures. May they be exciting and soothing to you as you weather this ongoing journey.
We love you and are constantly in prayer with you.
Exodus 15:2-3 (New Living Translation)
2
The LORD is my strength and my song;
he has become my victory.
He is my God, and I will praise him;
he is my father's God, and I will exalt him!
3
The LORD is a warrior;
yes, the LORD is his name!
1 Chronicles 16:9 (New Living Translation)
9
Sing to him; yes, sing his praises.
Tell everyone about his miracles.
4
Sing praises to God and to his name!
Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds.
His name is the LORD--
rejoice in his presence!
Psalm 106
1
Praise the LORD!
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
2
Who can list the glorious miracles of the LORD?
Who can ever praise him half enough?
Psalm 150:1-2 (New Living Translation)
Psalm 150
1
Praise the LORD!
Praise God in his heavenly dwelling;
praise him in his mighty heaven!
2
Praise him for his mighty works;
praise his unequaled greatness!
Have a good rest tonight....all of you! What a miraculous day! Thank you, thank you, thank you Jesus!!!!!!

This is the first time i am coming here and posting. Im a student at HLG but I regretfuly have not gotten to know him yet...I say yet because i know that i will meet him.
I am praying for him, his friends and family.
There is a old saying. "You can judge a man by the friends he keeps." If this is true, then BJ must be a truly great person. All i have heard here at HLG is "Be praying for BJ". Until recently i really did not know who he was, or how big of a impact he has on this school.
I want his family to know this. This school is praying for him, and for you. God be with you now and forever.

Thank you Lord for answered prayers! We know BJ still has a long ways to go but every time I came to the blog today, I was amazed at the prayers that were answered. Just know that BJ and your whole family will be lifted up in so many churches tomorrow as we worship our Lord!
Thank you Jesus that BJ has been able to come off of the ECMO machine and his levels are staying up! May God give you a good night's rest and continue to wrap you in His loving arms.
Praying for you in Santa Claus, Indiana Glen and Jean Peters (Jes Youmans parents)
God is SO awesome! I been checking this site all day and everytime there was an update that was positive. I would get more excited as his body was defying the odds. I have a feeling that the doctors are thinking about Christianity now.
God I pray that tonight you will continue to amaze the doctors with the healing of BJ's body.

This morning, when John got up, the first thing he said was, "We need to pray for B.J."
I guess we have spoken many prayers at different times, but John's reminder was precious.
We have watched [read updates] in awe of God's faithfulness and watchcare over B.J. Your faith has been a tremendous blessing to us and we are encouraged by it.

I was waiting on another update before I turned in for the night.
To God be the glory for what He has and continues to do in BJ's life.I have been following BJ's progress since I received the information from the SBCI Office.
The communication has been wonderful. I like many other have cried with you and for you...I have
rejoiced with you and for you...and will continue to pray with you and for you...
I am leaving town for a few days but will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers while I am away.
May you find rest in Him tonight.

i stumbled across your blog several days ago and have been following bj's progress. as a pediatric nurse, i know the highs and lows of living minute to minute in the icu, ecmo and all. i'm so thankful that bj continues to improve -- slow steps are better than no steps. i continue to see the work of God in the hospital every single day and i thank you for sharing your faithfulness and love.

Thank you for taking the time to keep all of us informed. It has been hard for me to move away from the computer today because I was afraid I would miss the next improvment God was showing the clinical staff and others. Please know that Dale and I are praying for the family to receive rest for tomorrow.
The music I was playing today was so great it was a praise of God's works and His power. I used it to sing for BJ (where no one could hear but God) for his healing.

Dear Higgins Family,
This song has been running through my mind all day long:
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy HEALTH and salvation! All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near; Join me in glad adoration!
I am continuing to pray and praise and worship our wonderful Lord Jesus. What an incredible day of God revealing His glory!
Toodie Schaper (Heather's mom Peru 05) St. Charles, MO
THANK YOU JESUS!!!!! I am so excited to hear about how well BJ is doing. I am a pediatric ICU nurse in FL so I truly understand how sick BJ is. Every time I log onto the internet I am afraid of what I might read.....but HE is in control. No matter how things look from a medical standpoint it is truly all in the Lords hands. He can and does work miracles, I have seen them with my own eyes. I am so happy for you and your family tonight, and I will continue to pray for all of you.
Love in Christ, Cathy
Praise Lord!!!!
Please Lord I pray BJ more strenght to keep infection free and allow his body to heal!
I will continue my prayers for Beej's
family and medical caregivers. Stay strong with your hopes and I will not stop praying for BJ's recovery.
Thankyou for update we are with you
now and through the night we will pray to keep moving forward with Beej's recovery and his doctors wisdom to continue the important timing of the changing decisions you are dealing with throughout this healing process.
may God bless all of you there with BJ and dear Lord I pray for their
peaceful and well rested evening to handle tomorrows new day.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.

P. S. As my kids used to say when they were little, "YAY, GOD!"
"The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the rightous run into it and they are saved" We lifted the name of Our Lord, BJ and the Higgins family up in prayer tonight. 180 voices and hearts asking for the Holy Spirit to work on our understanding as this servant of God struggles for his life. May the Peace of God cause praise and glory to be on our lips and may the Love of Our Father be on our hearts as we bind together for the cause of Christ. We will continue to pray all night as the Lord has placed that on many of our community. Jesus said "I will never leave you" Now is our chance to be His hands, his feet and his mouth as we pray for you. God bless you and know that we love you.

BJ and all the Higgins family--We have been following BJ's progress for the last several days--Our daughter (Melanie Carpenter) had asked us to pray for BJ--and we, as well as our church family at Beechwood Christian Church here in French Lick Indiana have been doing that--he is on our prayer list at church and in our hearts constantly.
We were away from home all day today--and when we arrived back this evening the first thing we did was log onto the website to see how BJ is doing. What wonderful news--God truly has his hand on BJ and on his family--We will continue to pray for his full recovery--one step at a time.
We will also pray that your strength holds out also--I know you must be so tired by now--God is with you--he is stonger than any illness....

We are both incredibly moved and inspired by your faith in this matter. Know that we will be praying for BJ, and for your continued strength in Christ.
We attend Briercrest Bible College, and will do our best to spread the word here for you.

All praise be to God! I'm so very glad to hear that BJ is doing better...I have been praying for him and your family every chance I get! I just want you to know that Many of my friends are also praying. God works the best in all situations...He has taught me so much just by reading the updates from your family and the awestar web site. It is SOOOO uplifting to hear about such a love for the Lord! It made me realize that I have not been living for God like I should...I just wanted to let you know that God works through even the roughest of situations...I'm sure this is also a growing time for you...faith being tested...I just praise God that in hard times you are still looking toward Him! These verses made me think of you...part of it is even words you said!
James 5:13-18 "Is any of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up..."
May the love and hand of God be upon you in your time of need! To Him be the glory! God bless you and be with you!

Please take BJ's swelling down and please don't let it get any worse. Just protect my brother and continue the work and healin that you are doing in him. I love you with all of my heart, you are such a faithful Father!

Hey,
I just wanted to drop a line and let BJ's family know and be reassured that he has brothers and sisters at Hannibal-LaGrange College who have been faithful in lifting him up to our Lord. God honors our prayers, and He knows the multitude of tears that have fallen on behalf of our brother. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting BJ, but I know from all that I've heard of him that he's a remarkable servant of God. And I feel certain somehow that our Father is well pleased with him.
Keep fighting for BJ, friends. And keep the battle on your knees.

A friend of mine told me to check this site out. She said it would make even me cry (I'm a bit of a cynic). Although I haven't cried, I am deeply moved by the love and support that has been shown.
I will keep BJ in my prayers (however few there are) and I hope his continual progress towards a healed body continues.

More tears flowed today for your precious son, but this time they were tears of joy. Although I have never met your son, like so many others, through this I have drawn close to him, and praise be to God, closer to the Lord.
I emailed family and friends back in Australia last night and asked them to keep BJ in their prayers, so he is also being prayed for in the land down under.
Have played worship music all day long, and continually praised God for His faithfullness.
God has used BJ to draw the body of Christ together in unity and that is such a blessing in itself.
I still believe in my spirit that BJ is going to be a walking testamony of God's love, grace, mercy and divine healing power. Your son has the hand of God on him, that is very evident and I look forward to the day when we hear of the wonderful things that BJ will do for the King and His Kingdom.
The Lord has been reminding me all day of a particular scripture.
Isaiah 55:11...... So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth, it shall not return to Me void (without producing any effect, useless) but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Amplified)
Know you are all loved and lifted into the throne room of grace

AMEN!!! As I lie in bed, tring to sleep, i realized that I hadn't checked BJ's updates, prayed and got the computer out and praise our FATHER it was good! HE has some big plans for BJ.
As I read the words of BJ's peers from Awestar I am truly inspired. SometimesI get caught in everyday life and don't seize the oppurtunity to witness, I am now reminded what I should be doing by a living example,via computer, who is 10 yrs younger than me, but 50 yrs older spritually!
Colton continues to pray and asks questions about BJ. Somtimes silly ones like "Mommy, you know April's friend BJ, the one whos sick, what is his favorite color? Other times its ones like, Mommy, why is
BJ sick?
We continue our prayers and are spreading the wordto extended family and friends to do so as well. Praying also that others are touched and inspired as many are! Only God can make one of HIS children spread the word on a situation like this. Thankyou Family, thankyou GOD AMEN! Amen!
Because of HIM, A sister and her child in Christ

Goodmorning BJ
I pray for your strenght. Keep fighting your challenges on this journey. I pray for Gods glory!!!!
Lisa G/M
Just couldn't sleep. Had to get on the blog.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. My heart rejoices. From reading the posts, there were prayers and worship music playing from all around the world. I can't imagine what it must have sounded like coming before His throne. Prayers and worship music.... God's people in unity..... coming before Him on behalf of our brother. How powerful! That's what it is all about-- worshipping God and reaching out to others. This is what BJ so understands and what his life is about.
We will remain steadfast in prayer as this journey continues. I pray that you are all resting well. May God's strength overflow in your hearts.
We love you all very much.

Please make the desires of your heart my desires.
I praise you, my Holy Father.

To God be the Glory!
Good morning! Here's a beautiful idea I learned from a missionary friend of mine... This morning especially, as the hours for worship services travels around the globe, BJ and your family will be carried to the throne of grace on a wave of prayer and praise that circles the globe as well! Sort of like "crowd surfing in the heavenlies"!
" The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE..."
Genesis 2:7
Here in Latvia, are well covered. I have asked my church family to pray for you all and to Praise God for His love and mercy. I have also sent an e mail to friends around the world and asked that they pray! God's army of prayer warriors is on full alert!
Praise Him!

We have been praying for BJ for several weeks. My sister is Evelyn Gilliland. I am Eugenia Milner Henry and my husband is Jim and we have two adult sons, Jim III and Brian.
Our church, North Henry Baptist Church in Stockbridge GA is praying for BJ.
BJ: We lift you up and thank the Lord for all He is doing in your life!!! We give God all the glory.
Our oldest son, Jim, who is now 32, has cystic fibrosis and is in the hospital right now himself. We were told when he was born that he probably would not live very long. He has been in and out of the hospital all his life and he is a walking miracle of God. It has taught us to trust God one step at a time, all the time!!!! HE is the great physician and we thank Him for those He has given to us to care for us on this earth and praise Him especially for those who understand fully that it is all in God's hands!!!
We trust you to His hands!
We pray for you and all your family and all your medical caregiving team. Give them our love!
Jim & Eugenia Henry

Matthew 21:22 - And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
I have a friend in Indiana that sent me and email and asked for prayer. My entire family has been praying and all my friends at school. We will continue to keep praying.

I pray with you for BJ. I have seen the Lord do marvelous things in my son's life as he was seriously injured in a car accident last January. After several very serious surgeries he is doing well. As our prayer warriors have prayed specifically for Brandon we have seen God's hand at work in his life. I pray that BJ will continue to recover and be able to testify SOON to God's grace.

Brent, Lauren and family, thank you for always glorifying God through this. This constant faith that God will triumph, has been so good for my soul to hear and see. Thank you for blessing my heart as I am fervently praying for your son and brother. Your faithfulness in our Lord absolutely astounds me. Many Blessings, Amy Harden, Lafayette IN
Praise Jesus! How Great is our God?! Our church will continue praying.

I'm praying now that I know of BJ. What a handsome, fine young man! My whole family is in awe of his dedication to the Lord and doing His work. I'm putting BJ on all the local prayer lists as well. Miracles happen every day.
God Bless!!
