Silas Update #5 (June 1)

Well, the outpouring of love just goes on and on. I love you all so much. I so wish I could personally reply to the hundreds of texts I am getting. But I know you all understand. Thank you.

I have heard from people in every single walk of my life and beyond….. church, neighbors, school, swim team, etc. So many people that I have never met are praying for sweet Silas. Thank you. It is such a comfort to me. To all of us.

Silas is doing well. His pressure is back down to a more comfortable level. He is still heavily sedated. His vitals are very good. He just got all cleaned up and is resting comfortably. His medical team has made several attempts to lower his sedation but each time that has caused his pressure to rise. We are trying again now though. If his pressure goes up they will up the sedation again.

Please continue to pray for healing for Silas. Please pray for comfort for him. Pray that he will not be afraid. Pray that he will be able to get the “bolt” and ventilator out tomorrow so we can hear his sweet voice.

Please pray for Ryan and I. For strength and courage. We will likely be here 5 to 7 days.

Thank you. Thank you. To each one of you who have cared enough to be impacted by all of this. Thank you for praying and for sharing so others can pray.

If you have not gotten a chance to read about how Silas came to know and love the Lord, scroll on down. It’s titled “My testimony- by Silas”.

  3. My whole family and kiddos are continually praying! Please reach out how we can help. Start a meal train, go fund me, prayer chain! I know so many are standing with you and you don’t even know us but as a momma of 5 and sister in Christ I am right there with you and for you! Hang in there Silas! Warrior of God! You are an overcomer in Christ Jesus! We speak life into your body! And complete healing in Jesus name!

    The prayers of a righteous man availeth much!

    Resist the devil and he will flee.

    You are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus!

    Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

    Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

    Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

    Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

    The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

  7. Heavenly Father Yahweh, you are our healer. You adore us. May it be your will that you remember Silas as you remembered Hannah. He is your sweet boy. Cover his mom and dad with grace and give them peace. Settle the hearts of his siblings as you mend their brother. Leave the family with the assurance that You are holding their right hand. Your son is interceding on their behalf. And the community is rallying around them and shouting up thanks for what you are about to do. The miracle we are about to see. This young man is a life changer. Our prayers are that He will get to change lives and continue to impact Kingdom purposes. This is a special family. The enemy doesn’t want them intact. We need them in our lives whole.
    We love you and honor you and we are expecting great things because that is Who you are! In Yeshua’s name! So Be It
