Update on Baby Bowen (Story I Posted About Last Week)
The baby I posted about last week is progressing well. They closed his chest late last week and took him off life support. Once again the faith of this family is absolutely amazing and inspiring. Matt posted the following update via Twitter this morning. Short, but powerful stuff.
“CHD, Surgery, life support, intubation, CPAP…these terms will be useless when God makes all things new.”
This little guy has been on quite a journey in life so far. One that has been filled with miracles. Keep him and his family in your prayers!
I am still not sure why I have became so drawn into this story. Reading through the comments posted on their blog, a reader felt the same way. Why were they so into this story of a family and baby they had never met before? One of the replies hit the nail on the head. Two reasons: 1) This family has been so open to the world on the story and the feelings they were dealing with every step of the way. Matt is a singer/songwriter, and some of the music he has been working on during this situation is amazing and dives down into their feelings. 2) This story is bringing people closer to God. Some people even mentioned it’s bringing them closer to their children again, no matter young or old.
