In the past hour, BJ's oxygen saturation level has slowly climbed from 70% to 75% and seems to have stabilized around there. We need him to reach the 80s, though the 90s would be preferable. He is on the oscillating ventilator and nitric oxide to help him breathe- I misspoke in my hurried last post.

The last blood gas number had dropped a considerable amount from the ones before, so please be praying that this number will rise as well, as it is one of the primary indicators of how BJ is doing.

Thank you so much for your ceaseless prayers. Our Father is carrying us in this difficult day. Please pray with the same urgency for the lost around you... that is another place our hearts should be right now.

In Christ's Love,
Lauren

I heard about BJ's ordeal through a friend that was in Peru with him. I have been praying, this morning, as I prayed and laid my hand on his precious picture, I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit, and I truly feel that our Lord is being glorified through this extraordinary young man and I know that He is able, I pray for BJ, the doctors and his remarkable family.
"Father touch this young man, give him strength, heal his body. BJ has battles to fight for Your Kingdom in the future. Heal him.
In Your Precious Son's name....Amen."

The Lord has had me praying and crying out,throughout the night into the small hours of the morning.Not until I felt peace could I consider sleep. The Lord has you constantly in my thoughts.
Lord I ask you once more for your divine healing on this wonderful young man of God. Lord I ask that through all that he is going through that those who are lost will come to know the love, grace and mercy of our precious savior Jesus Christ and into a personal relationship with Him.
Lord give BJ's family the peace that only you can provide, comfort them with your loving arms and let them rest in your presence.
Thank you family for allowing us the priviledge of praying for and with you in this difficult time. Thank you that through your battle the Lord has increased my faith and desire to pray for others. You truely are a blessing to those around you, both near and far.

In His Love

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
