A "Heart Buddy" Is Losing His Battle

Update: Johnathon David passed away in his Mother's arms at 4:06pm this afternoon.


As many of you know - we have a group of blogging "Heart Buddies" that all follow eachother, are there for eachother, and pray for eachother.

Johnny is 4 months old and endured his second open heart surgery last Tuesday the 19th. After a difficulty first 48 hours, he seemed to be doing well. But as of the early morning hours his heart is not pumping the way it should and he's experiencing some clotting that the doctors have not been able to stop. The family is with their little man, comforting him as he seems to be nearing the end of his journey.

Another that I've posted before about, 4 month old Elaina, has also had more difficulty in the last few days - experiencing dangerously high fevers and low oxygen saturations. Her family, also, has been told to expect the worst.

Both families are having to make very difficult decisions and have been given "the talk" by the hospital staff. Please keep them in your prayers and thoughts - they need all the strength and comfort they can get.
