I just recieved this from my friends..... I wish there was more I can do!

Dear Friends,
>
> We would like to once again thank you for your prayers for our son and our
> family.
>
> We have all endured another trying day at Children's Hospital. Our son had
> some tests on his heart today. The doctors have said his heart is very
weak
> and as a result his heart rate is very high even when he is sleeping.
>
> He was started on some new medication to help his heart. He is also
coughing
> quite a bit due to the fungal infection in his lungs. He remains very,
very
> weak.
>
> His doctor is still holding out hope for him but essentially has
said
> that they are doing everything they can for him at this point. It is still
> possible to fight off the fungal infection and for his heart to get better
> as well.
>
> He is once again at a fork in the road, one road leading to recovery, the
> other to the end of his short life. The doctors really don't know which
way
> it will go. They believe that a lot of what will happen is up to him
and
> his desire to keep on fighting or to stop fighting.
>
> We know he has been through a lot and has come close to dying several
times
> in the last few weeks. Doctors are suggesting that we consider going to
> Canuck Place for a break from the clinical environment of the hospital,
with
> the ultimate goal of getting him home.
>
> We truly know that our little boy is in God's hands and know that either
he
> will be healed in this body or receive the ultimate healing of a new body
in
> Heaven.
>
> We are praying for:
>
> 1. God's will to be done
>
> 2. His heart to recover
>
> 3. The fungal infection to be defeated
>
> 4. His strength to return
>
> 5. For peaceful sleeps
>
> 5. His spirit to be strong during trying times
>
> May God bless you all.
