Timothy James

I was admitted to the hospital on Dec. 8th because my amniotic sac was leaking and I had begun to dilate. I was ordered to lie flat on my back until the baby came ( I was due April 2nd!). Well, on Dec. 17th my water broke at 7:15pm and Timothy James decided to come early. He was breech and already on his way out, so the doctor did an emergency C-section and at 10:20 pm he was delivered. He went straight to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and has been there ever since. Timothy was only 25 weeks along in his development (a "normal" pregnancy lasts 40 weeks) so he still has a lot of growing to do.

Luke 2:10-11 ". . . I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Saviour which is Christ the Lord."

As we celebrate this Christmas season with gift-giving to family and friends, we remember that the greatest gift of all was given 2000 years ago, when Jesus came to the world to give us forgiveness, freedom, and hope. May you have a blessed holiday and coming year!

Best wishes from Jon, Sheri, & Timothy


Timothy has been sick this week with a cold, but praise the Lord!, it seems to be under control with no secondary infection or doctors or hospital trips!
He continues to show improved muscle tone and development each day. We will be starting occupational and physical therapy for this in January.

Praise - increased use of his right arm
- increased use of his left eye
- he is on the downhill side of his cold and this will have been a good boost for his immune system

Prayer - continued healing of his cold and lungs
