A New Liver He Shall Have

I'm writing this post as Sarah and Micah, along with our two youngest boys (Malachi and Titus) and Sarah's parents, travel from Virginia back to North Carolina for us to meet up at Duke Hospital.

Today at around 6:30 PM we received that long awaited call from Duke saying they believe they have a liver for Micah. The liver will arrive later this evening and the surgery will likely not take place until midnight or later (probably later).

There is a possibility that the surgery would not take place if there was something with the anatomy of the new liver or with Micah, though we are not anticipating this will be the case.

So while in the coming hours and days there may be other needs to share, our greatest request is that you would pause now and as often as it comes to mind and ask the Father for favor upon Micah and the doctors and medical team.

1. Pray for God's peace to fall on Micah.
2. Pray for God's strength and grace for Micah's mom, dad, brothers, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, family.
3. Pray for God's power to strengthen Micah's body.
4. Pray for God's direction in guiding the doctors, nurses, and medical team.
5. Pray for God's healing to allow Micah's body to receive the new liver (now and in the future) well without significant complications.
6. Pray for God's comfort for the family who today mourns the death of their loved one as we give thanks for God's provision and timing for Micah.

We will seek to update as we are able. For more immediate updates, you can follow me on Twitter or read the Twitter feeds to the right.

Thank you for praying for us and Micah.
