Strength

Every single day Zach and I pray for strength.  We pray for strength for ourselves while going through this difficult time.  Mostly, we pray for strength for Kian to keep fighting.  Well I can tell you that our prayers are always answered.  Kian is so amazingly strong.  He is truly our hero!  In his short life he has gone through and continues to go through more than most of us have been through in our lives. 

This past week alone he has been fighting through a collapsed lung, a hole in his stomach where his feeding tube went bad, having to have a maching push pressure up his nose day after day, withdrawals from drugs he was on and constant pricking and prodding.

Through all of that, Kian continues to fight.  He continues to be himself and give the nurses a hard time when they mess with him.  He has even smiled at us a handful of times!

We know Kian has a long way to go still, but because of the strength God keeps giving him, we know he will do great!  It is the hardest thing we have ever done to watch him in pain.  But that pales in comparison to what he is going through.  We will be here by his side every step of the way!

Your lovely family will continue to be lifted in prayer daily. Hold on to the knowledge that God holds little Kian in His hands. And, as much as you love your little angel, God loves him even more!
