*crying* please please pray... Watch this
crystalda... However and whoever you pray to...please, do so now...he's only 3 years old and this family will be just broken. This is the email I just got frome my friend Kelly Hixon:
I need to ask you all to pray for a little friend of mine. His name is Peter. Some of you know him, some do not. For those of you who do not know him he is 3 years old and in Mass. General Hospital. He has been sick for a while and is in ICU. He has Spinal Bifida which he was born with and some other health issues. Right now he has had Pneumonia for a while and is not getting better. He needs prayer, so does his mom and brother. They were going to do a tracheotomy but his muscles are too week and he is fading. His apnea is worse. Lea (Peters mom) may have to make some decisions she will not want to make. I know God is with him because he cant stop smiling :o) Peter is always smiling no matter what. I will bring a picture tomorrow and email it to everyone. He is just so sweet! Please pray hard for Peter, Lea and Shaun.
Thank youPosted on 10/23/07, 12:10 pm

crystalda... Poor Peter...only 3 years old...I have nothing to complain about compared to him. Even when he's feeling poorly, which is most of the time, he is smiling. Why can't I be like this precious 3 year old. In pain, dieing, difficulty breathing and STILL smiling. Born with spina bifida, muscle weakness, unable to digest food, mental retardation, and several other things--but still smiling. Now suffering with pneumonia. Unable to have a tracheotomy due to muscle weakness. Struggling to breathe. But still smiling. All of us are sad and crying. Praying for strength for Lea (mom) to help her make some very hard decisions. But Peter is still smiling.
I pray he climbs quietly on angels' wings and flies to Jesus; flies to Jesus; flies to Jesus--and lives.
Sweet precious Jesus, I pray you take Peter quietly home to You. I pray You hold Lea and Shaun oh, so very close to You. This sweet little boy who has touched so many hearts and lives in his few short years is in need of Your healing touch. This family is in need of Your comfort. My heart is breaking Lord at the impending loss we are to feel. But my heart is rejoicing with the thought of the many miracles this sweet precious life has given to so many. You have been able to touch so many people through this little boy. I praise You and thank You, Lord. My life is richer for having spent just a few short hours with him in a swimming pool. The playing and the laughing and THAT SMILE even though he was in pain. Please, Lord, I pray, send Your comfort and Your peace; the peace that only love for You can bring. For Lea loves you lord. Lea and Shaun need You Lord, in all ways. Shaun's little baby brother is nearing Your Kingdom, Lord. Shaun is just a child, Lord, and he needs Your peace to fill him. This loss will be overwhelming. Cover this family, Lord. Cover this family. Your guidance, Your comfort, your peace, Lord. I pray in Jesus precious and holy name...AMEN Reply #1

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Peter's older brother Shaun, is the sweetest little boy. He and I made quick friends. He is very much inlove with his brother and is very upset about what is happening.
Thank you all again for your prayers.
WISHING HIS FAMILY PEACE AND HOPE FOR THIER CHILD!!

Kelley Hixon"
This is what Kelly emailed me with this morning.
We really need to keep praying...I've never known Peter to be cranky...very disconcerting.
we come to you at this time asking for your mighty healing hand to be placed on Peter's life right now at this very moment in the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS! Lord your word says if we ask, we shall receive. So at this moment Lord we are asking for healing and for Peter to be restored to perfect health. You are the master of all and I Know that you can do what no doctor can do. May your glory shine through this child so that his family came testify to your greatness! We thank you Holy Father for giving his mother and brother the strength that is needed to get through this time. We ask Lord that you quiet their spirits and take away the anxiety. Please comfort Peter and reduce the pain Lord, make him as comfortable as can be Lord. You are holy and worthy to be praised.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Anyone else, please feel free to join in...All prayer helps.
Thank you for the greatest gift of love and for teaching us to give our love freely to one another.Iv'e never met young Peter but I have love for him and concern for him and that is why i'm lifting him up to you in prayer.Please fill him from the top of his tiny head to the bottoms of his tiny feet with your Powerful Healing Holy Spirit Devine to bring him healing,comfort and strength.I lift his most precious family up to you as well Heavenly Father God that you will fill them to overflowing with all the comfort ,strength and peace that they richly deserve during this most diffucult time they are facing.Thank you for all your many, many mighty ,mighty blessings .In Jesus Precious Name Amen
