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

Ultra-quick!

Seth, the last time I called in, was on minimal settings on the regular ventilator. The next step is CPAP (the nasal prong/mask)! If his 4 a.m. blood gas results and x-ray look good, they will most likely take the breathing tube out, move him to CPAP, and we'll be able to hear his voice for the first time! Granted, it will likely be either grunting or crying, but what a blessed sound that will be! Please keep praying God's protection over and healing for his body and lungs. Also, that he will be comfortable - he started getting the "shakes," sweating, flaring his nostrils, and bad diarrhea as a result of a lowered morphine dose. He's on an increased dose now but seems to be a bit agitated still. Please pray for his peace and comfort and wisdom for the staff to wean him in such a way that his body can tolerate it well. As always, please also pray for protection for his brain through all of this!

Update as soon as we hear something tomorrow . . .

To God be the glory!
Carrie
