This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God through Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, works in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were born in 2012.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6

Seth: pics and update

He is getting a breathing treatment right now (8:30) and will get a blood gas later tonight to assess how he's doing and see if they can wean the settings on his conventional ventilator at all. He's at 65% oxygen and his carbon dioxide was 63, so those numbers need to come down. Thank you for praying!

(Updates on others coming . . . )

Seth - as much as I can hold him while he's tethered to machines
Raise your hand if you want to get off the oscillator! (He looks worried)

If you look closely you'll see strawberry-blond hair!


Our beautiful blond boy (David and Will have darker hair, but are also beautiful!)

    Love the pictures. They remind me of some of ours. The first one with you "holding" Seth is so precious. I'm so happy they are all doing so well. Praise the Lord!!! Isaac too. :)

    I love the pictures and praying for all of them to get stronger and off the oxgyen. I love Seth's hair and I can tell that he has grown. His eyes tell it all - he wants off those machines so he can be held. Time is going by so fast doesn't seem like a month so Happy 1 month to the Jones' Angels! Hope Issac had a great weekend and prayinng for your family!

    Thank you so much for sharing the pictures. Seth is so precious. Happy to hear the vent switch went well and I know he must be much more restful. I can also tell he has grown. Will continue ot pray he does well and exceeds expectations. Hope Isaac enjoyed his weekend.
