Prayer Request

Please pray for a little boy who is very, very sick. His name is Hudson Vanker and he's only a year old. Due to renal failure, Hudson has dialysis everyday of his life. His parents, Donny and Kristi, were told he'd be able to have a kidney transplant when he reached a certain weight, but he's just not growing like the doctors want him to. Because of that, it has been decided that he will need to have a feeding tube inserted directly into his stomach. What makes this especially difficult (nearly impossible) for little Hudson is that he cannot have dialysis during the healing time.

Hudson's surgery is scheduled for May 30. Please, please pray for him. Also pray for his parents. Donny and Kristi have recently moved to the Seattle area to take the position as Youth Director at Crossroads Bible Church. They are working with a hospital and doctors they're not terribly familiar with, in a community that is not yet "home." This is a very serious operation that could affect the rest of Hudson's physical development and life. Trust me, that is a scary place to be in as a parent.

Praise to the God who is fully in control of the lives of our children, as well as our own.

Thank you so much,
Jenifer
