BJ continues to make small strides forward, and we are thankful. His external bleeding seems to have ceased. He is still experiencing some internal, but it is less than before. His stats that are tracked daily/hourly are improving. All reasons to give praise to our God!
He has been laying in the same position for over 2 weeks, as they cannot move him due to the canulas or tubes, and their strategic placement. They are using gel pads to try and support him, but he is experiencing skin breakdown nonetheless. We've asked about an air mattress, but that isn't an option with this set-up (you'd have to see it to understand).
It is our fervent prayer and belief that our Savior and Lord is and will continue to be glorified through this situation. I have no words to express how deep our gratitude is for the level of prayer support we have received. We believe you have prayed him through many critical moments, and appreciate your sensitivity to the Lord's leading.
Thank you...just.. thank you,
BJ's dad

BJ continua a hacer pequenos pasos y estamos muy felices. Ya no esta sangrando externalmente. Aun sangra internalmente pero no tanto como antes. Esta mejorando cada minuto. Hay muchas razones para alabar a nuestro Dios!
Ha estado echado en la misma pocicion por dos semanas porque sus tubos estan conectados en un manera estrategica. Estan usando paquetes de gel para levantarlo pero de todas maneras su piel esta danado. Hemos pedido un colchon de aire pero en su posicion no se puede. Tendria que verlo para entender.
Es nuestra oracion y creencia que nuestro Senor esta y estara glorificado a traves de esta situacion. No puedo expresar mi gratitud por los que estan ayudando con oracion. Creemos que sus oraciones lo han ayudado pasar por momentos criticos y apreciamos que han seguido lo que el Senor ha dicho.
Gracias, muchas gracias,
El Papa de BJ

Hi, I go to San Jacinto Baptist Church in Deer Park. I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for BJ. I think this website really helps us know what is going on, and how to pray for him. God bless all of you who are there with him.
Love in Christ,
Kenda
Thank God for his faithfulness. BJ is always in my thoughts and prayers, as well as your whole family.
May you continue to praise and trust in God!
Love and Prayers with you always.
Continuing prayers down here in Mooresville. Hopefully the sores are not getting too bad, will specifically pray for healing of them. Also will continue to pray for BJ and the medical staff as they try to wean him off of ECMO and decrease his settings. It will be so nice to get him off of that. We are continuing to lift up you and Deanna & the girls for continued strength throughout this.
Let us know if we can do anything at all for you. Love you guys.
Love, Nancy Reed
Dear Higgins Family,
1 Cor. 1:9 says "God, who has called you to share everything with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful." God truly is amazing and has been so very faithful in carrying BJ through these difficult days and it is so exciting to see God at work through so many and the faith and strength that is being provided to also carry you and your family. We appreciate you sharing your heart and giving us updates as we check it multiple times a day as we think of you and pray for BJ. We do lift BJ up today and pray that he will continue to heal. Praise the the Lord for his faithfulness!
In His Love,
The Rice's

oh my gosh....i am praying for BJ. i dont know what to say besides that, but i do pray that God has his healing hand over BJ. you are not alone in this world, God has his hand over you. even in this time, BJ's faith will save him.
Father God,
I pray right now for B.J. Lord, You have already carried him through so much. Please continue to be with him and his family. I pray that You would provide the doctors with the solutions to the different complications they are facing right now. I pray that You would give the doctors continued wisdom as they treat B.J. We give You, and You alone all of the honor and glory for what You have accomplished through B.J.'s sickness. You have shown us that prayer is effective, that You are the Sustainer of Life, and that You long to unite Your body as it should be. I am so ashamed that it took a young boy laying in a hospital bed to make us realize that we haven't been living the life You called us to(Matt.28) Father, help us to go out and get our feet dirty for You! From this situation I pray that lives would be changed, people would be reached, and Your kingdom would be furthered! All praise, glory, and honor be for Your great renown! I love You Lord!
In Your precious name,
Amen
Hey Beej... we'll be praying that the sores on your body will be healed. Hopefully, you'll be able to move sometime soon. Brent, Deanna, Lauren, and Whitney... we're praying for strength and continued encouragement. We love you all loads.
Hugs and kisses from Northern Ireland.
Nate and Amy
When Drs. can't heal,
When friends can't heal,
When family can't heal,
God will heal it in someway,
God will be here through it all,
God will stand next to you & your loved ones through it all where he can give his love & support,
God is always here even when we think that there is not hope or no way,
God will guide the rightous path to the destiny & that is to heal or at least help heal,
He gave his son to us & now he will give his spirit, love & mind to help heal B.J,
God loves everyone & he loves B.J. so much that he will try his hardest to heal & take all of his pain away. I am praying for B.J. & his family.
With all of my Love & Blessings,
Jessica Ray
