Pulling For Peanut

My grandson, Landon a.k.a. Peanut, was born a little more than two weeks ago. From the action of the nurses in recovery it was immediately evident that there were physical problems with this little guy. After four days in ICU he was taken by ambulance to Texas Children's Hospital where every day there has been another challenge. Staph, spinal meningitis, pockets of infection to be drained, blood and breathing issues. But, he just keeps on fighting. He takes after his mom. In this period of taking one day at a time, I have been awed to find that the prayers and heart-felt concern for Peanut has grown to touch lives throughout the world. From my first simple emailed requests to friends to keep Landon and Brittany in their prayers has grown a network of prayer warriors that I would never have imagined. Prayers are being sent skyward from France and Great Britain, from Australian and Japan, across southeast Asia, as well as right here at home. Full congregations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Oklahoma are praying for Peanut. Individuals in Oregon, California, Alabama and South Carolina are asking for healing. It's an offering of love and support that I will never be able to repay. It's an amazing thing to watch unfold. No doubt there are angels in Heaven, but this episode has proven that there are a multitude of caring angels right here at home; friends and strangers pulling for Peanut.
