Hi my son is four months old and I just found out yesterday he tested positive for the AGLS gene mutation. I am interested in Evan's progress. Did he need a transplant and how is he doing?

Hey Evan, I am a co-worker of your Aunt Susan. I wanted to let you know I have a niece who had a liver transplant before she turned one and she is doing well. She is now in the fifth grade! I am praying for you and your family and for the doctors who will be performing your surgery as well as the donor who will provide the most important part of your surgery which will help to bring health to your body and life to your spirit. May God bless you each and every day.

We just found out my daughter has AGS. She also has branch pulmonary artery stenosis. We have known about her heart defect since birth and was told it would go away. Now at 17 months we have AGS as well as severe pulmonary stenosis to deal with. We are waiting our first visit to the cath lab in 2 weeks, but have been told that surgery is our only option with the heart. we are also waiting for our first liver biopsy. I just found this site and wish Even the best.

Evan, It hasn't even been 24 hrs. since we left you and we miss you terribly.As we watched you fight another courageous fight for the past 4 days we just couldn't help but thank the Lord for giving you such a wonderful name. Everytime we say, " Evan Matthew " we remind the enemy of our soul just who you are, God's strong warrior and gift from Him. The bible tells us, We are crucified with Christ nevertheless we live yet not us but Christ lives in us and the life we now live we live by the Faith of the Son of God who loves us and gave His life for us. That makes us overcomers and victorious in all things. So again my precious darling Evan Matthew by the Word of God I call you the healed of the Lord just as I have from the day you were born because that truly is who you are. We don't go by what we see and we are not moved by what we see, we only go by what the Word of God says about you. We call those things that be not as though they were therefore we call you the healed of the Lord.
Now in the name of Jesus I release a Spirit of Faith to your Mommy and Daddy to fight right along side of you in this , and remind them that God said, He would be faithful to His Covenant and He would complete the work he has begun in you. I Love you all Grandma Rudisill...

Mama Sherry and Daddy Dirk,
I pray for the peace of God to flood into your spirit and little Evan's right now. I pray for the nurses and Doctors to have all the knowledge and skill to repair every area of Evan's heart. Lord that there be NO COMPLICATIONS! Lord, I pray for your creative power to make miracles concerning Evan. I thank you Lord that you are faithful to do all that we ask in the name of Jesus! Amen

We are so happy to hear that Evan is doing better. I'm sure that there are more battles to be fought, but with the love and prayers of his family and friends I'm confident he will overcome them. When I read the E-mails, I can't help but think of how lucky You are to have this precious little gift. I also think of how lucky Evan is to have parents that are so loving and of strong faith. You and Dirk should be an inspiration to other families when they feel times are rough. May GOD continue to heal Evan and give you the strength to fight any battle you are faced with.

Evan,
I've known your mommy for 5 years now and you are the one that I have watched grow since birth. I remember the day when your mommy told me she was pregnant with you. I was so excited and couldn't/still can't wait to watch you grow up. On the day you were born I was on my way to see you. Your Aunt Ro Ro called and told me everything that had happened. I hung up the phone and went to her house and cried and cried for you and your mommy. I was so worried, but I knew you were in the Lord's hands and I knew He would take care of you and make you a fighter. God has a wonderful plan for you in your life and He is showing it everyday. You will always be a pretty little boy to me. Dale Bible Church and myself will continue to pray for you and your wonderful family. I love you very much and you will always be apart of my life.
Love you always,

Evan, I just viewed your web site. It is wonderful. I will pray for you, your Daddy,Mommy, and brothers daily. I was blessed to tears to see what our Father has accomplished in your life. I can't believe you are almost 1 yr. old. I just can't wait to see the rest that God is going to do. We are claiming complete healing. I remember when you were born your Grandparents telling me about the word they got about our Covenant keeping God. We are standing on that promise because we believe whatever we ask in prayer, believing, we will receive. Just remember we Love you all and you are in our prayers. Love, Rod, Faye & Bethany

Hello Evan our precious gift from God, Papaw and Grandma just viewed your website, and we think it is wonderful, just like you. We can't believe a year has almost gone by since the Lord sent you to us to love. We are so greatful to Him for all the miracles we have seen Him perform in your tiny life since that day. He is an Awesome God. He also is a Covenant keeping God who keeps His Covenant even to a thousand generations. Also He has promised to complete the work He has begun in us. Those are two words the Lord gave us the day you were born and Papaw and I have held onto them and will until we see the total healing come to pass in your life. We call you the healed of the Lord my darling baby, and we pray the plans and purposes of God to be completed in you. We say," You are blessed and highly favored of God." You truly are His strong warrior and gift from Him. We love you and can't wait to see what God is going to do next. With great expectation we look for all the good things in life God the Father has in store for you. Love you so very much.
