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

Home again.

Seth went through the surgery just fine.  Now instead of an 18 inch tube sticking out of his stomach, he's just got a small "button" to which we can attach the feeding tube.  When the tube is snapped out of the port, you really can't tell it's there under his clothes.  It is kind of like the valve on an air mattress.  It sure makes him much more portable, since we don't have to worry any more about his tube getting yanked or pulled out.  It was painful for him, but now it should be much better.  Having him more mobile and off oxygen in the not-too-distant future should make it much easier for him to catch up to the others developmentally.

Feeding-wise, we have realized that we need to redouble our efforts in helping him get used to taking food by mouth.  Having the other four to feed and take care of makes it a challenge to focus on Seth, but we need to make him a priority more than we have.  Please pray that we can do so faithfully and successfully.

Seth is asleep now, but we'll get a picture of him with the "Mic-Key button" in due time.

Gavin

    Praising God for good surgery results and praying that you can manage to do all that the babies need and also find time for Isaac and yourselves. It's a tall order, but I am sure God will bless your efforts. NKL

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
    "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She
    placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
    ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely
    off topic but I had to tell someone!

    Hello this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    So happy to know that Seth is home and will be doing better now with the mobility. I will continue to be praying for all the other needs that he has. The pictures of the kids are so wonderful.

    Everything said was actually very reasonable. However, what about this?

    suppose you were to create a killer title? I ain't suggesting your information is not solid, however what if you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean "Home again." is kinda boring. You ought to glance at Yahoo's home page and note how they create
    post headlines to grab people to click. You might add a related
    video or a related picture or two to grab readers interested about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.

    So glad to see that Seth was able to come home after his surgery!!! :) Praying for you guys daily.

    I know this is kind of random but, as a fellow DFW Texan I use to watch a TLC show called Keeping up with the Joneses. If you have never heard of this they are a family also in Texas near Austin, Ethan and Casey Jones also had one child, and then had quints. Their oldest is a girl and the quints are 4 girls and 1 boy. I just thought that it was very interesting since both of your last names are Jones.
