Small step equal big progress

Jake is scheduled for a Cardiac Cath and heart biopsy this morning at 8:30 AM. Please lift him, the doctors, and the entire medical team in prayer for a smooth procedure and results of no rejection. We are, again, trusting in God to guide every moment of this morning.

In other good news, Jake continues to take steps in the right direction! His lungs are making progress, which is such a blessing. We know he will be so much happier (and we will be too!) when the time comes for the vent to be removed. We are praying specifically for that time to come soon so he can be more comfortable.

In the meantime, while he rests and heals, we have a special request for you! It really lifts Jake’s spirits to hear and see your messages and encouragement. If you are able, he would love for you to send a video message! A quick hello, a prayer, or a word of encouragement would mean the world to him right now. Feel free to send them however is best for you. Text, Facebook message or by email at cotaforjacobshope@gmail.com.

Thank you so much for your continued support and for following along on this journey with us. We feel your love and prayers lifting us up every single day.”The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.” Psalm 28:7
