Porter McClain is really making progess. Yesterday they took him off the ventilator and he is doing okay breathing on his own. I know it will take some time for him to strengthen, but he had a great night and is keeping down all the feedings they are giving him right now. It will probably be a slow next couple of days, while they wait and give him time to get used to breathing on his own. This is really the first time his body has ever tried to do this, so we are very pleased he is at this point!
People keep wanting to pay us for the bracelets, but I just want to tell you again, these are ONLY to remind everyone to pray and bring unity on behalf of Porter Mac. I mean, its a piece of string! :) I have had many many emails asking me for a way to donate to the family, so I decided to just go ahead and put a DONATE button on here. This is ONLY if you feel led to give. I know they have a lot of family and friends in different cities and even in different states that want to be able to just give a little something, so I felt like this would be the easiest and safest way to do that.
Thank you again for continuing to check the blog and stay connected. I am so proud of our communities in the way they have rallied behind the family. I am hoping when Porter McClain comes home from the hospital, we can all send them our bracelets to put in his baby book so he can one day see just how many people were praying for him.
Hope you enjoy a few more pictures I have taken!!

These pictures are just wonderful and the look on Thomas's face is priceless, he is sure one proud father. We are continuing to pray for Porter, Thomas and Jen and trust that the Lord will Richly Bless them and give wonderful healing to that precious baby. Much Love, Aunt Martha
ReplyDeleteMy heart skipped a beat this morning when I drove by Jennifer and Thomas' mailbox and there was no blue ribbon. (That Sunday rain was something wasn't it.) So glad to get a good report, and to see such sweet pictures of Porter McClain with his mom and dad. Please know you all continue to be in our prayers.
