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

Not much to report from Seth, Sunday morning

. . . besides the super fun news that he is standing on his own now and even taking a step or two, and the super sad "news" that he cries every time he sees a hospital staff member because he's afraid they are coming to suction him. :(

He's not satting great (88-92%), so they are changing out the sensor to see if it's just a problem with the sensor and not that his blood oxygenation is too low.

He's happy when he's allowed to play, unhappy when disturbed in that play - surely that's a good sign? But we don't know much yet about his lung function or condition; the doctors haven't rounded yet today.

We'll keep you updated - thanks for caring!!
Carrie

    We are praying for your sweet boy's lungs, and also for you and the other children. This is a hard time but the Lord "has your back".

    Oh boy, they sure learn who to "trust" and who not to quickly don't they. When Zeke has been hospitalized the Staff made a point to come in at times and just play with him so he didn't fear them ALL the time. Prayers continue.....

    Yeah, taking steps! I hope he has mastered crawling better too. I know they say that is an important development step that helps later on. Praying for him, and you all!
