His numbers are not great, but stable for now. The surgeon will at 2pm try to insert a new chest tube into BJ's left chest cavity. One of three things will happen: 1.He will not be able to get into the chest cavity because the ventilator will have his lungs fully expanded to the chest wall. 2. He will find the pocket of fluid and be able to drain it. 3. He will get into the chest cavity and not be able to drain it because of clotted fluids.
This does not yet address the infection which they believe is associated with his hip lesion. We have not been updated on that yet.
We rest in the peace of Christ, that what He has ordained to happen, will happen. We are at peace with this.

Holding you-
Lord we are asking that the infection that is running throughout his body be revealed so that he may be healed. Please guide the doctors & nurses to help them determine what this is. Touch BJ Lord with your loving hands. Myself & another girl who works with me are consistently praying for BJ & his family.

I will pray for wisdom and expertise for the doctors, calm for BJ and family, and the peace of our Lord which you are now feeling.
I have been praying at least three times every day for BJ. I can really see his christlike lifestyle and he has inspired me in my christian walk. I pray that he will continue to get well.
Again from Panama, I want to let know the BJ's family and himself, that we are praying, and we are telling people from different churchs across the country to pray for a miracle, and healing over BJ's in His will! You have a family in Christ, that are praying for you!!!!
In Christ,

Wow Lord, we need you to intervene on BJs behalf today!! Today is a rough day Lord Jesus, please rain down your mercies upon BJs body. Give his parents strength and understanding as a bad morning has coming after so many better days. Help the surgeon to find the fluid and sources of alarm, Lord and rid it from BJs body Father. Yahweh, we just ask you to rid his body of this infection, touch his hip Lord and heal him. We believe in you Lord, and trust you.

We are unified in PRAYER across the nations to do as the Lord calls us to do ... EXHORT - ENCOURAGE - PRAY!!! We lift you up on high and PRAISE THE FATHER for your faithfulness! Thank you, Higgins Family, for sharing this experience with is (although we know it is hard at times)! You have been a HUGE encouragement to this walk of FAITH - Luke 9:23 - I pray that you will choose in every moment to take up your cross and follow with a "reckless abondon" of what this world holds dear! This life is a BLINK OF AN EYE compared to ETERNITY in heaven with our Savior!
In His service,

We're on our knees here at HLG.
Merciful Father,
Please let the procedure at 2 go smoothly. Please help the doctors be able to get into his chest cavity and be able to drain the fluids. Please help his numbers to come up and stablize at a high level. Please help his hip lesion to heal. Knock this infection out right now! Let your glory and your power be shown today!
Amen
Still praying for you all. God is the only one that can be responsible for the miracles we have already seen. Many of the stories in the Bible where although day 40 was significant and came with blessing it also came with great trial. May this be a day of fighting the good fight. I hold up your arms as you battle this. (Exodus 31)
Dear Lord,
Guide the surgeon's hands during this difficult procedure this afternoon. May Your light shine brightly in Room 2001 so that everyone in the room will know that You are in control. We thank you for BJ and the peace you have given his family.
Amen
Lord, continue to hold BJ and his family in your arms. We pray diligently that your will be done in this, and that no matter what happens, your glory will be seen. We thank you for BJ's life. For his boldness and obedience to you. Father, he is so awesome! He is truely an example of how we all should live for You. God, I just ask that help us to keep our minds and hearts set on You during this time. Thank you for the prayerful support that has poured out on this family. In Jesus name, Amen.

MANY IN TULSA OK ARE SO AWARE OF YOUR NEED OF THE SURROUNDING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
JUST REMEMBER YOUR SON'S EYES SHOW A STRONG SPIRIT OF BEING ALIVE.
WHILE IT IS IN GOD'S HANDS; IT IS WITHIN THE HEART OF EACH OF US TO THE SEE THE SPIRIT OF GOD. THE EYES OF YOUR SON SHOWS SO MUCH THE SPIRIT OF PEACE AND SECURITY. HE IS AT PEACE WITH WHOSE HE IS.
I PRAY MORE FOR YOU MOM & DAD. A GIFT OF LIFE IS NOT EASY TO GIVE OR RELEASE BACK TO WHOM IT WAS GIVEN. NO WORDS CAN PUT YOU IN ACCEPTANCE BUT ONLY TIME WHICH SHOULD BRING REUNION. AN OLDER BROTHER WHO CARES
My Family in Christ - we stand firm as a BODY to lift your arms in your time of need! Our precious Lord has GREAT things in store for those who are CALLED according to HIS purpose! I pray for PEACE as the mystery of His purpose may never TRULY unfold - which He tells us in Deut. 29:29 that the secrets belong to Him. His ways are HIGHER than ours ... I am praying for FAITH and HOPE as ya'll continue to encourage this body of believers in the midst of your trials! LORD BLESS YOU!

I just heard what happened. It is almost 8 pm here in Budapest, Hungary. I pray that the Wonderful Creator of the Universe, the Giver of Life, our gracious Jesus may be with all of you at this time and give you the Peace only He can give.
With the wisdom and faith you have given me Lord, I ask that You may flood the body, mind and heart of BJ with Your Holy Spirit to restore him for Your glory!
Please, be with your child and with his family now.
Your will be done, Abba!
Thank you for continuosly sharing encouraging words from BJ's journal. Know that your continuous posting, reports, strength and faith are even more encouraging. I am praying for BJ's healing, obviously, but for Christ's continued presence, peace and love to surround you and your family. Whether you feel it at all times or not, Christ's presence in and with you is evident by your words.

THERE'S A LIFTING OF THE HANDS,
THERE'S A LIFTING OF THE HEARTS,
THERE'S A LIFTING OF THE EYES,
BEYOND HILLS TO WHERE OUR HELP COMES FROM; WE REALIZE WHERE OUR HELP COMES FROM
GOD WE LOOK TO YOU KNOWING THAT YOU ARE OUR HELP. THINGS ARE UNEXPLAINABLE AND QUESTIONS ARE UNANSWERED BUT YOU KNOW ALL. COME NOW DEAR FATHER AND SEE ABOUT BJ AND THE FAMILY. GOD WE COME TO YOU AND YOU ONLY. GOD HEAR OUR CRY!
Our Gracious Heavenly Father, We bind satan of all power and infulence on BJ's body. We loose your power, Holy Spirit to work your miracle in BJ's body right now. We pray that you would build a hedge of protection around him and his family, knowing that nothing takes You by surprise. We know that You are well able to do exceedingly more than we can even imagine, and thank You ahead of time for the miracle You are going to perform for Your glory, and we look forward to the miracles you will perform through BJ's ministry. We believe that this experience will be a springboard into a dynamic ministry that will see many lives changed, many bodies healed, and many people won to the kingdom - all for Your glory Lord! We give You all the praise and the glory for You are worthy. We take a moment, Lord, just to praise You. We know that the battle is not ours but Yours, and we acknowledge that You alone are able to change this situation. We ask You to brag on yourself today by showing the world what great care You take of Your people. We already give You all of the glory as we believe for Your miracle in BJ's life right now. In Jesus precious name we pray - amen!

You are the most faithful people I have seen. I am in pure amazement at your faith and your ability to truly give control over to God. A student in my bible study, Danielle Sampson, shared with us your story and gave us the website. We were talking about faith and God has made it evident to me that you are all the definition of faith. Thank you for loving the Lord and through this, sharing Him!! My prayers are with you all!!

Dear God,
Please be with BJ today. Lord I pray that Your healing hand will be upon him today and i pray the surgeons will find the fluid pocket. I pray today will be the day things start to turn around for BJ and that his healing will begin today. I love you Father, and I know You will do whatever will bring Your Mighty Name the most glory. But I ask that what will bring Your Name the most glory would be BJ's miraculous recovery.
Your Child,
Rach

You have the best doctors around and we are prayng for them as they are about to do surgery. LORD lift up BJ and you know are hearts . We know that you know what is about to happen and we just ask for your will to be done.
Brent Deanna & Girls, I pray you will find peace and comfort in your Heavenly Father today. Your faith is strong, yet I know the waiting is so hard. I ask God to guide the surgeons hands during the surgery, and to stop this new infection in it's tracks. I again just lift up BJ into the hands of Jesus. Praise his Holy Name!
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that files by day, nor the plague that destroys at midday. Psalm 91:4,5&6
Just a note; we are praying for you and your family in this hard time:
1) God will intervene
2) Give the doctor's wisdom
3) Give the family grace
