Pray For Isaiah

A few weeks ago, I heard of a little boy named Isaiah James May.

Unfortunately when Isaiah was born his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, cutting off his oxygen supply. The doctors declared he had irreversible brain damage.

Over three months have passed since Isaiah's birth. Isaiah's story has become well known, as he has been on the news because doctors have tried to take Isaiah off of oxygen which is currently allowing his body to rest and heal.

I've been following the "Prayers for Baby Isaiah James" facebook page, and have seen many updates by Isaiah's mom, and Grandpa. Isaiah is proving the doctors wrong. He is starting to breathe over the ventilator, he has been opening his eyes (and they are starting to dialate), he is growing, as well as moving around a lot. Isaiah is a miracle, and a testament that what man may call impossible, God calls possible.

So why am I sharing this now? At the end of January, there was a court ruling saying that according to human standards, Isaiah's life would be extended until February 19...that's tomorrow. Sometime tomorrow the court is going to rule if Isaiah will stay on the ventilator, or if he will be taken off of it. We MUST pray for this little boy, and his family. We MUST fight for Isaiah's life.

Isaiah is a living miracle, but may he live a long, healthy life for the Lord!

Here's a video I found on Youtube that really touched me...
