Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Hayden Update

John sends word on the progress with Hayden, along with thanks for your prayers so far:

Dear Family and Friends,

There has been some progress, but I would have much rather had progress in Hayden’s recovery.

Hayden is stable and gaining physical strength. She is having trouble with her feeding and is vomiting quite often which is a little disturbing. She is back in a POD that allows us to hold her again and visiting is not the problem it was a week ago. Spending the night is not posable.

Yesterday, we spent the day in court securing guardianship of Hayden. Ryan is now the custodial parent. Very strict and very limited visitation has been set for the mother. One hour a week under strict supervision is all that has been allowed her.

I received a mailing from the investigating detective. The case has gone to the Grand Jury for Incitement against the Mother and Grandmother. I am not certain of the exact charges at this time.

I have spoken to Ryan, at this point we are looking for the best Pediatric Neurologist to second opinions and treatment for Hayden.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support,

John

    Tell me if I am being too frank, but is her condition the result of child abuse?

    Onelamb, the implication is either abuse or negligence, though I’m not going to jump to any conclusions until the Grand Jury is done. John and Ryan took the baby away from the mother for the baby’s sake, though.

    I am both terribly sorry, and equally sickened. I don’t know what else to say but that I will keep praying for God’s mercy and His grace. I will link to both posts so my friends who have been praying will be updated. God Bless!

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
