Praying for you guys.
UPDATE on Caleb, my 8-week old son:
We spent all day yesterday with him at the hospital for testing, and his symptoms are consistent with something called "Hirschsprung's Disease." They took a biopsy of his colon and we expect to have test results by Monday. If it is Hirschsprung's Disease, then his condition is serious enough that they will do surgery to remove part of his colon. In the meantime we have an irrigation kit here at home and we are keeping his bowels flushed out every 8 hours so he doesn't rupture anything, and praying that God will fix this and use it in a way that brings glory to Him.
It's kind of a serious situation and I'm concerned about Caleb, but not a way that is worrisome or panicky. I forget what the reference is in Philippians but it says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, humbly present your requests to God, and the peace that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." God is doing that for me.

Indeed, hang in there buddy. God's got this whole thing under wraps. But I'm still praying for ya.
But I'm still praying for ya.Hey I really appreciate that, peewub.
I've gotta tell you (and I should have posted back here earlier this week), but our God answered your prayers for Caleb. I can't explain what happened in medical terms, only that my son was seriously sick and now he is well. His bowels aren't even doing anything funky at all anymore. So feel free to shout out a big "HALLELUJAH!" to the One who healed my boy. 
And God also answered your prayers for me as I had incredible peace about the whole thing. You understand I was concerned. But nervous and anxious? No way. God had me covered with the peace of Christ.

God is good.Yes He is!
If you guys wouldn't mind praying for Caleb again, today he is pooping blood and we are taking him to the hospital. This bleeding plus his previous symptoms has the doctor saying we need to pack a bag for overnight. God knows what's going on but I don't, so please remember us in your prayers.
I'll let you know how it goes the next time I have something to report. Thanks!

They took 5 biopsies of Caleb's colon and sent us back home for the night because whatever the problem is, it's not a clear and present danger. We won't know the test results until Monday. In the meantime we get to enjoy him at home. He's gone poop 3 times without blood, so that's a very positive sign that maybe the internal bleeding is healing up. Sorry to gross anybody out with this story, but those are the facts, and I appreciate the prayers because God has been hearing you!

I'm glad to hear it.
I'll pray that the results are good.

Wow boyward! You have no idea how encouraging this is! I know so many times when I should stop worrying and just dwell on the verse you spoke of! He truly is great! God bless you brother!

But like, I pray for all you guys, every chance I get, because we could all use a good pray for in this hard life.

What you need is a spell check.
Regardless, I will be glad to pray for your and your friend's issues. And the spell check.

Still praying for your boy, boyward!
