Dr. Mill just came to Jordan & I to report the chest closure went as well as expected! They're cleaning up our sweet boy now & then we'll be able to see him again. He was awake this morning before surgery, so we had a great time watching his eyes explore the room. So praise be to our God for the continued good reports thus far! He truly as been gracious to us & each day, we find ourselves thanking Him over & again for the amazing blessing of this little boy. What a gift to have another day with this precious child of His!
The next 24 hours are most critical as his heart adjusts to the change in pressure from having his ribcage closed around it once again. The plan from there is to continue administering diuretics to reduce remaining edema & then work on getting him off the ventilator, at which point the diaphragm issue takes center stage of attention.
So let's praise our great God for His love & faithfulness to Isaac! Praise Him for all He has done, for the success of this surgery & his steady recovery thus far. Please pray against infection, that his body would adapt to these new changes well, & for healing of his diaphragm so he can breathe on his own. Thank you again for your many prayers! It truly is awe inspiring to see the Body of Christ coming together to support this precious child & go to battle on his behalf. Thank you! Jordan & I are forever humbled & grateful for you all.

We continue to pray that all progresses smoothly these next few weeks and that Isaac will be home before you know it. We can't wait to meet this little miracle one day at church! Your story of faith and healing is an inspiration to all of us. Thank the Lord for your strength through this bump in the road. One day I know you will look back and have a wonderful testimony to share with other families who encounter the same thing.

What a Great Day! Our God Is A Awesome God!
Dear Jordan and Patience,
Isaac is as beautiful as both of you. The tubes and lines in him in no way impair his beauty. You are blessed with this very unique child, but he is blessed many times over to have such faithful parents. God knew with whom to place this little boy. And as always His judgement is perfect! We continue to not only pray, but also to praise for what God has and will do in your lives.
Love,
The Honeycutts
Another hurdle surpassed by God almighty! We are so grateful that His faithfulness shines thru you in what has become an awesome testimony!
YOU ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

What an adorable little miracle child Issac is. It sounds like you are in good hand with the doctors and medical staff, we are sorry that we don't live closer to you. But we want you to know that there are thousands of people from Heart of Gold all over the world praying for you. We love you much, and if there is anything we can do let us know. You and Jordan are great parents.
Love,

You will never know how many lives that your baby has touched in just a short period of time. For me it brings tears to my eyes. Tears of saddness and tears joy for the faith that not only you have but that you share. And to know that through this God will bless you. Thank you. Your family will always be in my prayers.
Praise the Lord that all is going well so far. Thank you so much for sharing the wonderful photos! We will continue to have you in our prayers.

Thanks for the update and pictures. We will keep praying. . . thanks for giving us specifics on what to pray for; that is so helpful. Praise the Lord for His healing. His love endures forever.
Dear Patience,
WARNING: Bring armor when you come back to C3 with your precious baby boy Isaac!!! It was unbelievably WONDERFUL to see Jordan last night, and we all wanted to love on him...but I'm telling you what, when you bring that precious baby back to the arms & heart of this family here will be a 'stampede of joy' just to get close to you and Isaac!!!
Thank you over and over again for sharing your precious baby, your story, and your amazing love for God with all of us.
love,

Patience & Jordan,
What wonderful news! We will be continuing to pray for you and OUR sweet baby Isaac. As I told Jordan last night, Isaac is a gift of faith and a testimony of God's love for each of us. We can hardly wait to see him! What a beautiful baby and thanks for allowing us to be a part of his life. He has a big family waiting for him at C3.

That is great news! We know you are just so anxious to hold your little boy and to be able to take him home! We pray that his progress will continue to be good and that you will be able to bring him home soon.
With love,
