Yes, that\u2019s right, DAY ONE! After 102 days inpatient and a rollercoaster of yes and no from the team, he is FREE! Waking up this morning outside the walls of the hospital, I have an abundance of joy in my heart. This year we have prayed for restoration and abundance for me and the kids, and the Lord heard our prayers. Even in the heartbreaking and terrifying moments, He was there. Although we are a long way from being home and Jackson still has healing to do, WE DID IT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue praying for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GVHD (meds to keep working)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EBV (control activation)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical rehabilitation (Left foot, nerve restoration)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emotional strength (siblings as well)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ask that you continue to pray for his medical team, his acceptance of organs and the family of the donor who have given Jackson the gift of life. Let this be a testimony to all who read Jackson\u2019s story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor I know the plans I have for you,\u201d declares the Lord, \u201cplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u202d\u202d- Jeremiah\u202c \u202d29\u202c:\u202d11\u202c \u202d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please share this message with your friends, family, and social media networks. Help us raise awareness about organ donation and bring hope to a fighter whose smile lights up the room! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your prayers, love and generosity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
