Pray for jonah

Almost 3 years ago we moved to New England and moved back to Colorado in under 3 1/2 months. We learned of Jonahs brain tumor and through a course of events, we decided to come back to Colorado and let Jonah try cannabis oil.

Almost 3 years later, Jonah is walking again, finding more independence everyday! And the tumor continues to shrink every scan we have done!

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and looks like a duck, well then, it is probably a duck. People can anazlye this situation of ours and come to any conclusion they want. But it is obvious that Cannabis has been responsible for Jonahs continued health and progression.

And we are beyond excited to celebtrate Jonahs 5th Birthday!

This is the story of Baby Jonah…

“inconsequential heart murmor” and was refered to MUSC’s pediatric cardiologist a week after he was born.  They were told that day that his little heart was only functioning by the use of his left heart ventricle. Jonah was immediately admitted into MUSC for more extensive help!

As of today Jonah has had to have a feeding tube to gain weight in hopes of staying within his “percentile weight”. The doctors had reported that there are 4 issues with his heart and will have to undergo a series of surgeries. The first surgery took place on March 30th.  His second surgery will occur around 4-6 months of age.  His final surgery should occur between 2 and 4 years of age.

So, this is the first chapter of Jonah’s Story! Baby Jonah is a True Miracle! And…if you know the story of Jonah and the whale…this is Jonah’s whale! He is a true testament of our faith in God and his Will!

I am asking all of you out there if your reading Jonah’s Story to…

The ones unanswered will be answered in due time for David even prayed about future events.

124-138. An unknown psalmist (perhaps David) prayed for many kinds of blessings, which were granted or will be granted (Psalms 10; 33; 43:1-44:26; 71; 85; 88; 102; 106; 118; 120; 123; 125; 129; 137).

Besides the actual worded prayers in these 31 books of the Bible, there are many passages in them, as well as in some of the 35 books containing no prayers, that give much instruction on the subject of prayer. It is thought by some that there are a number of prayers in the epistles, but in reality, these books contain only statements to Christians regarding the apostles praying for them that God would bless them, or they give instructions for Christians to pray and tell them what to pray for. These are not actual prayers addressed to God, however (Rom 1:8-10; 16:20; Eph 1:15-20; 3:13-21; Phil 1:2-7; Col 1:3-14; 1 Thess 1:2-3; 3:9-13; 1 Tim 1:3-7; 2 Tim 4:14-18; James 5:13-18).
