The Catheter is in!!! Praise God. They ended up having to use the external jugular, which they did not want to do as it was the internal jugular that the canula had been in, and had to be tied off as it was in poor shape. We are thankful. Dialysis, or the Cvvh machine is back on line.
Pray that the swelling goes down quickly. That with reduced bloodflow being able to leave his head that he does not experience any more complications (pressure issues, etc.). Please continue to pray for his kidneys to restart.
Thanks for your prayers in an unexpected discouraging time.
Beej's dad
please continue to leave your name, city, state or country for mapping for BJ.

I will be praying for those kidneys. Praise God for the success of the CVVH.
Yay for the good news. I thank God for that. We'll keep praying for you guys and BJ! It's weird that we've never met BJ but when we see that our prayers are being answered through the good news about him our stomachs do a backflip thanking God. Keep pressing on y'all!

Praying for BJ in Arlington, Texas. Your courage and faith are an inspiration to me. I went through 156 days with a micro-preemie last year and I know how it can be sitting bedside when one you love is so very ill. My little guy made it through...God is awfully good. Know that many many are praying for your strength, and for the doctors to make accurate diagnoses. Hang in there!
PRAISE GOD!!! STAY STRONG.
IN HIM

PRAISE THE LORD FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE CATHETER BEING INSERTED! We will continue to pray that the kidneys get busy and the swelling and pressure will be released! Thanks for the update!

Father we pray that the swelling goes down quickly & that BJ does not experience any more complications. Lord God you formed BJ's kidneys and all his inner most parts. I now pray that they begin to function once again. In no more than a thought you can make it so. Thank you that the catheter is in place. I know this has been such a trying and draining day for the Higgins family. Please, please Lord God, some how give them peace and the ability to rest. Cradle them in your arms. Even though BJ's eyes may be closed I know his spirit is still sharp and receptive as ever. BJ...please know how much everyone loves you and keep fighting brother draw strength from the literal thousands who are praying for you!!! Just as in the play where good was struggling against evil and won so also shall you prevail over the forces of evil. Here these words dear brother as I close and send love in Jesus name.......
God will make a way,
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way.
By a roadway in the wilderness, He'll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But His Word will still remain
He will do something new today.
God will make a way,
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way
We love you....Phil & Paula
Praising and praying here. . .thank you Lord for frequent updates and for skillful surgeons. We will continue praying for the kidneys to regain function and for the complexities that we can't even begin to think of to work together to bring BJ back to full health,

Julie Meils-
Let the DRAINING BEGIN! Someday this discussion might be kind of embarrassing to BJ, but for now...we just want him to enroll in Urination University, PASS the course, and GRADUATE!
Maybe we're a little nuttier than usual because we just feel so relieved....uh, bad choice of words.
Anyway! Praise to God for his Goodness, Praise for the doctors' abilities, Praise for his new "sleepin'-on-a-cloud" bed, Praise for devoted parents, Praise for God providing encouragement; Praise for faithful believers holding each other before the Throne of God; Praise for the beauty and instruction of His Word; Praise for Jesus!
We're continuing to pray . . . it's a must!

Lord, we are grateful for yet another step being taken under your watchful eye.
NOW - it is time to reduce swelling and heal the kidneys. Please Lord, continue the healing process and bring this family through the wilderness soon.
We love you Lord.

I live just down the road from him and I would absolutely love to meet him after all of this is over.Praise God to hear what all has been done and the slight progression that he is making every day.
Love in Our Lord and Our Savior,

Brent & Deanna,
It is nice to see Christians have a sense of humor, some of the previous blogs are pretty funny.
I think everyone is feeling a little relieved that some progress is being made. I hope you both feel the same way. I know there is a long way to go but you won't do it alone. You have a great support system and for that I am thankful. God has been with you all the way and he will continue to be there supporting and lifting you all up. You also have support from all these people around the world, what an amazing thing. We will continue praying for healing of BJ, lessening complications, return of renal function, and for your continued strength and health.
I know how exhausting this has to be on all of you. Please don't hesitate to call if I can do anything at all for you. Love you guys.
Love, Nancy
I'm prayin it up in Houston, Texas. Ya'll are continually on my heart and in my prayers!
I don't know BJ or your family but through the Zionsville community (or extended family) have come to learn of all of you. My prayers have been and continue to be with you and BJ . He sounds like an amazing young man. Jill Burkhard
I've been praying for BJ for a long time now and i'm happy to see that he has made progress. even though i have never met him he has impacted my life just by seeing how much he worships God and how he wants everyone to come to know him. there are signs in my school saying to pray for BJ and i know alot of people are. BJ will continue to be in my prayers and stay strong! so many people are out there praying for you and i cant wait till the day when it says hes all better and gets to go home. God bless BJ and his family!

Psalm 121
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills — where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip — he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you — the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm — he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
I appropriate the Blood of Jesus over BJ's kidneys. I command his body to be healed in the Name of our saviour Jesus Christ.
God our heavenly father we ask that you touch BJ & heal him BODY SOUL & SPIRIT
In Jesus Mighty Name!
hoooooooray! Strides are made in his holy name! BJ hang in there! We are continuing to pray for you, your family and those around.
God Bless

Dearest Higgins family, we are praying for each of you. While God is working in BJs body, may He also give you all strength and encouragement, each and every day. NBC is great about updating your brothers and sisters. I am here for you! Because HE lives, I pray that BJ's health is fully and totally restored...
FAMILIA DE BJ:
ANOCHE LLEGUE DE VIAJE DE UNA IGLESIA NUEVA DONDE BJ. TRABAJO CON AWE STAR, CUANDO ENTRE PARA VER EL REPORTE DE LA SALUD DE BJ QUE FUE A LAS 6:55PM SOLO LEI LAS FRASES ULTIMAS Y PENSE QUE ERA DE BJ. NO VI CLARO EL NOMBRE DE JAYDEN Y PENSE QUE NUESTRO AMIGO BJ HABIA PARTIDO CON EL SEÑOR. EN NUESTRA IGLESIA ESTABAN EN SERVICIO Y LES CONTE LA NOTICIA Y TODOS LLORARON Y PASAMOS UN MOMENTO MUY TRISTE, PERO SOLO FUE UNA EQUIVOCACION Y GRACIAS A DIOS QUE BJ SIGUE LUCHANDO Y DIOS SIGUE HACIENDO SU VOLUNTAD. SENTIMOS MUCHO LO QUE LA FAMILIA DE JAYDEN ESTA EXPERIMENTANDO AHORA, COMPRENDEMOS EL DOLOR PORQUE MI ESPOSA Y YO TAMBIEN TUVIMOS QUE EXPERIMENTAR LA MUERTE DE MI SEGUNDO HIJO DE 2 AÑOS, SOLO DIOS PUEDE DARNOS LA FORTALEZA Y EL NOS AYUDO A SALIR ADELANTE Y SEGUIR SIRVIENDOLE CON MAS FUERZAS.
SIENTO LA EQUIVOCACION Y CREO QUE ES URGENTE QUE APRENDA INGLES.
LOS MOMENTOS QUE PASAMOS CON BJ PREDICANDO Y MOSTRANDO EL AMOR DE DIOS A LOS PERUANOS SON INNOLVIDABLES Y DESEO CON TODO MI CORAZON Y ES MI ORACION A DIOS QUE ME DE LA OPORTUNIDAD DE ESTAR CON BJ PREDICANDO DE LA SALVACION EN CRISTO JESUS
"HAY VIDA EN JESUS"

Pusieron el "Catheter" tubo!!! Gloria a Dios. Tenian que ponder este tubo en su vena "jugulur" externo, pero no querian hacer esto pero tenian que hacerlo porque su vena interno ess donde estaba la "canula" y tenian que cerarlo porque estaba en condicion malo. Estamos agradecidios. Ya pueden hacer Dialysis, o usar el Cvvh maquina.
Por favor oren que el inflamacion baje rapido. Que la sangre puede salir de su cabeza y que no tendra mas complicaaciones (presura etc.) Por favor continue de orar que sus rinones empiezan de trabajar.
Gracias por sus oraciones en este tiempo que es tan dificil.
El papa de BJ.
Por favor continue de dejar su nombre, ciduad, estado o pais cuando dejan cartas.
