Your prayers are working! Praise be to God!

Good News! 

Today Michael achieved a small victory. We received results that the adenovirus is down to 8 million. 8!!! The previous two testings were 95.2 million and 95 million. This is a 92% drop!

We are speechless. The outpouring of love, support, and faith shown by all of you is astounding. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Please keep praying! Michael’s overall condition remains critical. We need the adenovirus to continue to decline to zero. And now more importantly, we need Michael’s left lung to heal

“Dear Lord, thank you for laying your healing hands on Michael. Eradicate the adenovirus from his body. Heal his left lung. Keep him safe from secondary infections. Amen.”

Love,

Melissa, Spencer, Faith, Sarah, and Tim

    Sarah and family, My son Ames Huddle is a friend of Mike’s from UW Madison. He has been keeping us updated on Mike’s condition. We are joining you in prayer and lifting up Mike. My husband met Mike at Fiji Dad’s weekend. I have added him to all of my prayer chains and personal prayer warrior’s prayer list. God is good and He is with you! Praying for more good news and full restoration of Mike’s heath. Sincerely, Jen Huddle Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
