BJ's numbers have begun to drop, and we don't know why. They are working to correct it but are unsure what they are dealing with. His Sat's have dropped into the 70's and his Blood Pressure is high. They thought it may be that his lungs were filling with fluid as the cvvh machine clotted off again. They are preparing to do an x-ray to check. Meanwhile they restarted the cvvh, and it immediately clotted. This is spiritual war...
Please pray that they can this under control quickly!!!

We are praying! This is spiritual war, but we are not without weapons. We love you, and are reminded of how much the Father loves you. I am reminded of Romans 8, where nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ. May His love and grace be seen and praised by us His friends.
BJ, don't fear, there are many battling for you, and there is One who loves you who has never left your side.
Praying, Lord protect Bj,give him the breath of life.
Praying with the warriors..
Praying for the doctors to restore normal levels for BJ..
We love you,

Lord Jesus, I bind the devil in Your holy name! I claim Your victory over these numbers that are causing worry. Lord, I pray for your peace to wash over BJ and his family as they await answers and procedures. It is only in You, Lord, that we trust. I pray for your wisdom to direct the medical staff when decisions need to be made. Most of all, Lord, I pray for Your will to be done - for Your glory! Your power alone can bring strength and healing. We love You and praise You, Lord! Amen.
We're still praying for you all!

We just prayed...mommy & 5 children on our knees...funny, one of the children said, "Ok, hit 'refresh'" when we finished praying. I guess we love to see God work FAST - that is what happened on Sat, but it doesn't always happen that way, does it?! All in His perfect timing, we pray it is quickly taken care of! He is in control!!
Much Love,

Lord God, once again we ask you to intervene. We pray that BJ's blood pressure would move to an acceptable level as well as his SATs. Father please make his blood just the right consistency so it doesn't clot too much and isn't too thin. Please help those drs. to know what they need to do next. Please give peace, Your peace to Brent and Deanna. We know this is a spiritual battle and we Praise you because YOU ARE THE VICTOR. Halleluhjah.
We pray in one accord in the name of Jesus. Amen
Brent & Deanna -

Praying fervantly here,
No weapon formed against BJ shall prosper,
Greater is He that is in BJ than he that is in the world.
Lord YOU ARE greater than any illness or any warfare, we come together again Lord and lift BJ up to You, we ask You Lord to place a hedge of protection around BJ, surround him with Your angels, both guardian angels and warring angels. Lord Your Word tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 -14
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not of evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
12. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you.
13. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me (as a vital necessity) and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
14. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
Lord we stand on this for BJ and his family, for Your Word is true and Your Word does not return to You void, but accomplishes what You send it to do.
We praise You Lord Jesus and thank You in advance for ALL that You have done and ALL that You will continue to do.
In His Love

Sammy and I are praying this afternoon. I'm glad to hear that Dr. Ruppel is there today. From our experience, he is a very compassionate and sensitive physician. Tell Dr. Ruppel that Sammy Harley said to take extra special care of his friend, BJ!
Our hearts are going out to you. I know how much it meant to see BJ's eyes open this morning. One of my very favorite pictures is a Polaroid a NICU nurse took early one morning when she caught Sam with his eyes open. I hadn't seen those eyes open in several days, and I treasured that picture until he was healing and healthy again. We pray that you will see BJ's eyes open and have those moments more often. Those moments are what help to get us through and give us glimpses of hope. Those moments are medicine for our hearts.
We will continue to watch for updates throughout the afternoon and evening.

Father in the matchless name of JESUS your son we Cast out ALL evil spirits attacking BJ and attempting to cut short his life. Father, You and only you have the power of life and death and we now pray as the Body of Christ that satan take his hand and the hand of any evil spirits OFF BJ this very minute. We pray that You free BJ from whatever is attacking him THIS VERY MINUTE. You say in your Word that if where ever two or more agree here it shall be given. Father, we all agree here at this time and this place for you to deliver BJ. Thank you FATHER !!
WE RESIST all evil spirits !! Come OUT of that room !! This minute!!
8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

I am in Cape Coral Florida and am keeping BJ in my thoughts--I came across this looking at the mercy me website. God will keep you strong--I am touched by how God is the God of his life--what a testimony to young people and older people alike.
Just wanted you to know that I'm praying for the doctors and for BJ

The Lord has just reminded me of a scripture I was reading yesterday.
Matthew 8: 2-3
2.And behold a leper came up to Him and, prostrating himself, worshiped Him, saying, Lord, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me by curing me.
3. And He reached out His hand and touched him, saying, I am willing, be cleansed by being cured. And instantly his leprosy was cured and cleansed.
Thank you Lord for this reminder..... Lord we come to You and worship You alone Lord, we prostrate ourselves before You Lord, and we ask You Lord, "If You are willing, You are able to cleanse and cure BJ?" We wait Lord for You to stretch out Your healing hand and cleanse and cure BJ.
In Jesus precious name we pray... Amen and Amen
In His Love

Continuing to pray for BJ and trusting God to be glorified in this situation. We know that God is more powerful than the greatest sickness, and more loving than the most loving parents.
Of this we can be sure, God loves BJ more than any of us and so we rest knowing that He has all things under His control.
Praying here in Guayaquil, Ecuador
We are praying for you and the family. Praying for God to touch by medicine, time, doctors and through His direct intervention.
Dear Jesus,
Please place your protective hand upon BJ. LORD, guide the doctors. You are sovereign, LORD of all creation. You control the heavens, the earth, all there is. Thank You Jesus!
As special as the Higgins are to us they are loved even more by our Father. I just wanted you to know that there are many of us out here reading the site and praying each day that you haven't heard from. Many of our friends are also praying. Someday you'll get to meet everyone who has been honored to pray through this with you. What a meeting that will be! B.J.'s dedication and your love is ministering to all of us.

Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD, And the
justice due me escapes the notice of my God"? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The
Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might
He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumblebadly, Ye t those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
Is. 40:27-31
Isaiah 40
21 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
23 He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
24 No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root in the ground,
than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.
25 "To whom will you compare me?
Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One.
26 Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one,
and calls them each by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.
27 Why do you say, O Jacob,
and complain, O Israel,
"My way is hidden from the LORD;
my cause is disregarded by my God"?
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
....and 41
10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
11 "All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish.
12 Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing at all.
13 For I am the LORD, your God,
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.
14 Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob,
O little Israel,
for I myself will help you," declares the LORD,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Hold on to these words!!!!!!!!!!

B.J. and the family is on my mind, in my heart and at the center of my prayers. The throne of grace is surrounded by His children that are lifting up the Higgins family this very hour. Please Lord, continue to perform your miracles in the life of this young man who loves you so much.
I pray God, that as the Great Physician, You will heal BJ. For Your name's sake, do it...
Father, we're asking for another miracle in room 2001 at St. Vincent's hospital right now. We don't know what is happening with BJ's body and why his numbers are dropping, but we trust that you have the ultimate control and power in this situation.
Lord, be with the doctors as they attempt to discover what is happening with BJ's body right now. Father, give them wisdom beyond their wisdom and insight beyond their insight.
Be with BJ through this, Father. Protect him. Hold him close to you. Please allow his blood to flow freely and not clot but also allow him not to have internal bleeding... This is such a balancing act, Father, but you have created BJ in your image and we can find strength in the fact that you know him, inside and out, better than any one else.
Draw close to Brent, Deanna, Lauren and Whitney. Hold them close in Your loving arms. Give them peace that passes all understanding. Help them to feel held in your wide and mighty arms.
Thank you, Father, for loving us and for listening. Cast the evil away from room 2001 and let it shine brightly for You!
We give you all of the praise and the glory.
Amen.
Praying for all of you. STAY STRONG.
IN HIM
