Prayer request for bilirubin and jaundice levels!

Hello friends and family!!

It's been amazing to see how little Kenzie has grown over the last several weeks! The power and presence of God in her life is amazing and it's such a blessing to have so many lifting up our little girl in prayer to Him!! Thank you and let's praise God together in the name of Jesus for the answers to our prayers! Cool story about Kenzie's journey so far-- one of the doctors from the CTICU came in our room Tuesday night and mentioned how great she looked for "being the sickest kid in the hospital a few weeks ago"..... we are so thankful!!! Praise God!!

One thing that we've been focusing our attention and prayers to lately has been Kenzie's bilirubin levels (Jaundice). Per our previous post over the weekend, this isn't the type of jaundice that's resolved through phototherapy (under a lamp), but instead is most likely rooted to something in her blood or liver. Last week her levels were in the low 20's and were beginning to drop (reaching about 18), but have since then gone back up to around 22. We've received a lot of different opinions by several doctors but there hasn't been a lot of progress. Please pray for reduced bilirubin levels and for wisdom for the team caring for Kenzie! We've heard that there's a chance that this can be connected to something very serious where she'd need surgery on her liver, but that it's most likely just going to take a while before they begin to see these levels drop. Please pray that it's nothing serious and that there aren't any side effects of carrying this for multiple days/weeks!!

On the side, if you could also pray for peace/rest for Tiffany and I, we would greatly appreciate it! There's no doubt God is at work!! Thanks again for all your prayers!

  1. I think the last picture looks representative of Kenzie saying "take that everyone, my God can rock your world!" We have continued praying for her bilirubin levels this week and have great faith in God's healing hand on this obstacle as well. Will continue to pray for your peace and rest! Blessings, always.
