Jaden is such a wonderful kid! I was so excited for him when I learned he was going to be able to play baseball this year. I hope that is the beginning of a lot of new experiences that have been on his wish list! Sending prayers of patience, comfort, and strength as you anticipate his upcoming surgery. Jaden will be in wonderful hands at Mayo and his belief that this is just another step on the perfect journey God has in store for him will help bring a sense of peace and acceptance as he prepares for his recovery.

One of my favorite times in Jaden's life was when he began to have the love for prayer. I'm going to guess he was around the age of 7 or 8. He volunteered to pray at EVERY family gathering. I know God doesn't care how our prayers go, but Jaden had a natural gift for praying. He was good at it! Jaden's prayers reminded us that there is nothing higher, stronger, or greater than God's love. I am thankful for this time in Jaden's life because it reminded our family that prayer is important and powerful. So now it is our turn to pray for Jaden. I pray that Jaden is surrounded by the Holy Spirit so that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard his heart and his mind.

Praying for peace for all of you! We raise Jaden up in prayer, along with the Doctors and Nurses that will take care of him. We pray that Jaden will have a quick recovery and that he will experience newfound energy and be able to have a more active lifestyle. We pray for comfort and patience for his family that are there for him and help take care of him before, during and after his surgery. Asking God to wrap his loving arms around this family and to be able to feel Gods presence and love! Know we are here to help in anyway. Hugs to all!

Praying for a successful surgery and speedy recovery and comfort to Jaiden and you all. If you need anything let me know.

Continued prayers for Jaden, you guys and the team of health care professionals that will be caring for him!

Prayers for all!

So glad that Dan showed me you set up a caring bridge site. I don't use Facebook but love the updates through this great website. Please know that your family is in our prayers. It is so frightening to see your child have serious medical issues and my heart goes out to you. May you find strength and peace in the arms of the Lord. Keep us updated and I promise to keep praying for God's provision to your wonderful faimly!!

We knew from learning about HCM that this surgery could be a possibility if Jadens heart worsened. However to hear the doctor say the word "myectomy" and "ICD" about your grandson is something I still had a difficult time accepting. Thank goodness my faith and complete trust in our awesome God took priority in my thinking. My pray today is that Jadens anxious thoughts will be turn to complete peace - the peace that only Jesus can give.
