This blog is to keep everyone updated for the purpose of prayer in this young man's life. You may not know his whole story, but read and learn of a remarkable young man we know, love, and call John John, who is fighting for his life. 4 years ago, John received a transplant kidney from his older brother BJ. So mom is the creative one who said it's all, "B.J. - Because of John"

6/27
Last night was the roughest night John has had. They spent over 5 hours trying to get him to breath... on the ventilator. He is getting worse day by day in spite of the treatmen they are giving him for his lungs. This is a life threatening infection. They had thought they would be able to treat it... but there is always the possibility that it is stronger than the medicine. Johns tired. Hes tired of the pain. The conversation he had with mom before coming to the hospital is becomming more and more real every day. He told her he wasnt afraid of death... but he was afraid of pain and suffering. He asked her to promise not to let him go through that. We have not been at this point before. Making decisions for his sake verus making decisions for our sake so please pray for peace of mind, clarity, and guidance. John is suffering greatly and mom promised him he wouldnt hbave to anymore. if they take him of the vent he will not breath on his own. This is a tough time and your support is greatly appreciated.
