Prayer for gavin

**Josey Wales** · 12-13-2011, 11:46 PM

Hey guys we really need some prayer here Gavin's torticollis is not getting better, so they did an X-ray, turns out he has a missing bone in his neck between his 4th and 5th vertebrate so he may need surgery, and now there doing a ton more tests for other things like an echocardiogram and he has to have a ct scan and another X-ray of his back and thumbs, but he has to be out to sleep for that, and that's on Monday

I don't know what's happening but we're kind of lost and we need some guidance and healing right now, I'm going to go ahead and post this in my journal too but it needs to be here also.

I don't exactly understand what you mean about the missing bone. (In anatomy and physiology, so yeah, that caught my eye and confused me) But I will definitely be praying for your son.

Please keep us posted and I will keep him in prayer.

Praying for Gavin. Please keep us in the loop so we can continue to support you in prayer.

BSPE: probably a missing pedicle.

**Josey Wales** · 12-16-2011, 07:42 AM

**Josey Wales** · 12-16-2011, 07:58 AM

for all you medical geeks here's an xray that shows the problem, and yeah, i'm not asking for medical advise or anything, i just thought it would be interesting to share.

**Josey Wales** · 12-16-2011, 11:25 AM

Thanks for all your prayers guys, for whatever reason I have this passage stuck in my head, and it's making me feel better

About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"
Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, "I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
"And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me.

--"Beware that you don't look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my heavenly Father.--

"If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won't he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn't wander away! In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father's will that even one of these little ones should perish. http://bible.us/Matt18.1.NLT

Yep, that would cause a pretty good tilt - but nothing that a good ~~carpenter~~ surgeon can't fix. I'm praying that this is the full extent of the problem.

same here.

And Orthopedic surgeon's really do look like they get their supplies from the most awesome of home depots. (The hardware is so much cooler material wise, but can look a little like carpentry tools)

Praying the little guy can get this taken care of, and that will be that.

Orthopedic surgeons are carpenters, and cardiac surgeons are plumbers. Very gifted carpenters and plumbers.
