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

URGENT Seth hospitalized with pneumonia or possible RSV

After two days of cold symptoms all the babies had, Seth became lethargic, had obvious extra work breathing and had poor skin color. I took him to the closest ER, from which he then had to be taken by ambulance to the specialty Children's hospital near Fresno. Please pray. Reading about the mortality rate of RSV (a common virus in early childhood) among kids with Seth's history of
Chronic Lung Disease is pretty terrifying.

    This was on my reader this morning directly after the post about Seth. Psalm 28:1-2
    To you, O LORD, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.
    We will be praying for mercy, peace and strength for you all.

    Oh that is horrible! How fortunate though that you were still in CA close by the best hospital care. My thoughts are with Seth and his ASAP recovery.

    I have been praying about your decision to move back to New Guinea. I am devastated to read today about precious baby Seth. Please God, hold him in your loving arms and heal this beloved and cherished child.

    I'm praying for sweet Seth, speaking healing to his body according to Isaiah 53:5.
