Calling All Prayer Warriors!

This is going to be one of my shorter posts. I am writing this post in hopes of recruiting more prayer warriors for Deklyn. Thursday afternoon Deklyn was rushed to ICU. Other times this has happened it only takes a day or two and we have our old Deklyn back. This time has been much different. Right now all I am going to say is that we need you all to get on your knees for us. Deklyn is in a fight for his life and we are not giving up on him. I have mentioned before that Deklyn has Pulmonary Hypertension, this is what we all believe has been the root of this problem. We spoke with the study doctor for HPP and she said his bones are not the problem any more, in fact his bones are doing amazing! His lungs are giving us a run for our money. The past few days have been the hardest in my entire life, I do not think I have ever cried so hard and so long in my life. No one, not even doctors have said that they are giving up, but we have had to talk about the possibility of death. We are not accepting this option, although as a parent this is a very hard place to be. Of course I do not want my child to die, I want him to have an amazing life and experience things every child gets to experience  But at the same time, in heaven he will not have to experience all the crap he has been going through here on earth and he has definitely had to endure more than his fair share. He is the toughest person I know. He would finally be free of all of this. I know God is working in my son, my son has a story that the world needs to hear. Please share my sons story, pass along my blog... get as many people praying as possible. In the name of Jesus my son is healed and I praise God for what he has done. The world will be amazed and in awe of what God has done for our son. Thank you all for your continued support and sharing our story with others to get as many people praying as possible and praise God for the battle has been won and the enemy has been defeated!
My brother made a video a few months back to get people to pray for Deklyn, here is a link to that if you want to share this with others please do!

  4. Hi there,
    I came across your blog today and found it very touching. You see, my husband and I have had two babies with hypophosphatasia. But they both passed away at birth. Our first one(a boy) would be turning 18 Feb. 13 and our second one(a girl) would be turning 11 June 4. It was very painful giving up my babies but now I rejoice with them for they are in a much better place. God blessed us with four healthy children.
    I admire your faith and trust in God. I will be praying for your little boy and also for you and your husband.
    God bless!

  5. Praying for you all Cassondra! I just posted your blog to our site so those following our journey can follow and pray for you as well. I wish so badly for you that you could just have the "normal" you so very much deserve! Thank you so much for that coffee so long ago...soon we can have another one together. From one mom who understands having to make difficult decisions for our children to another. We just need to keep our faith and trust God completely as hard as it is and more so when nothing makes sense. We are believing for your miracle!! xoxo

  10. Cassondra, my prayers are definitely with you, Deklyn and your family. I will make sure when I chant tonight (that's how us Nichiren Buddhists pray) that I will include you guys in there.

  28. Cassandra: I don't know why these challenges happen to little angels in loving families like your own. I do know that every experience helps up to grow, and that you clearly understand the power of letting go... and letting God take over.

  67. Cassondra,
    My heart goes out to you and your family. Deklyn will be in my prayers. God is a God of miracles and there is nothing He cannot do! I will be asking my sister and broinlaw who are pastors to pray with me and to send out the word to our church so that we can all pray for your precious son.
    I pray God's peace and rest in your heart. I can't even imagine what you are going through right now, but no you are not alone.
    Be encouraged,

    Cassie

  71. None of the situations like this ever make any sense to us on Earth, but God has an almighty plan that far outweighs the best dream we could ever product. Keep your eyes on Him and your heart sealed in His promises. I am earnestly praying that your son will be healed. I pray the Lord holds him in the palm of His hand and brings him to health and happiness. I also pray for peace and comfort for your family as you walk through this season. Stay strong in your God!
