From Hayden and Mimi

Hello everyone,
This note if from Hayden: I love you all very much. Thank you for praying.

Love,
Hayden

Hello all,
I started posting and Hayden came over and wanted to post something also. He continues to work on pulling his tongue in and keeping it in for small periods of time. When he went to orthodontist today they made a headgear piece of equipment to wear to help pull tongue in and keep it there without him having to work so hard. We are trying to help those muscles gain more strength to keep his tongue inside of mouth.

It is 11:07 pm and here I am posting again late at night it seems there are not enough hours in the day to get it all done. Well Papa has been here for a while and he will be leaving on Friday early so he can get back to work. We appreciate our church family to allow him the time to be with us at this very trying time with our family. God has allowed us to go through this for a reason and we feel we have been blessed by being half way through this tour of duty and Hayden is continueing to improve with his tongue issue. We are very thankful for all He is doing to heal Hayden. God has allowed us to minister to other parents, and nurses and staff while we have been here and many have told us that they have been touched by Hayden's sweet spirit, and I believe God is using this for His glory. Thank you for all ministering to us and lifting us up with your prayers. We are so grateful for our church families and friends who continue to hang in there with us.

Dave's nephew and his wife have come to visit us for the day and it is good to see some familar faces. They are getting ready to go to their room so I will close for now so we can have prayer.
Please pray for safe travel for return home for Jena and Brian their earthly home in Nashville and Terry in Georgia. Until next time.....

We are Still Praising Him,
Mimi and Hayden

I've had you so on my heart and in my prayers lately. How is everything going with the trache and feeding tube? Has the swelling on Hayden's tongue gone down at all?

Don't lose hope, God is a mighty powerful God. He is able to do more than we could possibly hope for. I believe in miracles and that is exactly what I'm praying for Hayden.

Love in Christ,
Suzi

Hi Mimi, I will be praying for Dave's family safe trip and for Mr. Terry's trip back here to Georgia, today. I am prasing God with you all of what He has already done in Hayden's life.He will continue to see you all through this journey. His strength is perfect when ours is gone. He will carry you all.through. God has already blessed and encouraged so many lives through Hayden and his family. We don't always understand the why's, but we can trust that His plans are always better then ours. Allowing God to touch others through us is part of our minstry as Christians. You all have certainly done this and God will continue too. Keeping you all before His throne through prayer. Love you all, Ms Sandra

Hello to you this Friday Morning,
We have been out of pocket for a few days but we have never ceased our prayers for Hayden. I logged on to try and catch some of your sweet spirit and to let you know how you guys encourage us. Even when you are enduring these difficulties you have that special something that draws others to you and your strength - you have Jesus in you. We love and treasure you so much and can't wait until these days are a memory and we can celebrate Hayden's God Given Victory. Love,Debbie Collins

Hi Hayden! It makes me so happy to see that wonderful smile! I am glad you are feeling better!

I am so excited to see pictures of everyone! I have missed you all so much! Mason has just grown and grown!

We think of you every single day and pray for you many times a day. All of the little ones in Mason's class now ask every Sunday "When Mason be back." We have started saying a prayer together each week for all of you and the kids each take turns saying some very precious prayers for you all.

Love you!
Mrs. Jennifer
