Sunday, April 5

Clay's heart rate is fluctuating and we are not sure what is causing this. Chance is staying the night at the hospital and I'm at Ronald McDonald House with Carson & Cody. I'm on my way to put them to bed. Trusting & Praying always!

  9. Our heart is heavy for you. Hope you will be able to rest and hope all turns out well. Think of you all often through the day. Always looking forward to looking at the blog and seeing his progress. Sometimes it seems we have to have set backs that causes us to go to our Father more desperately. Prayers going out for Clay and the rest of the family.

  11. Always in the past when things didn't look good for me at all, I always just turned it all over to God and prayed for his will to be done. God has brought me through so many many times. It is entirely possible to be in pretty bad shape one minute and doing totally okay the next. I know that God is going to make this okay for all of you. I really believe that Clay is going to be okay. I believe that there may be so many nights that you don't know whether or not he will be okay, but on those times you just turn it all over to God. I know you both do that. He has the power to fix anything. God bless you and keep you all.

  12. You sleep well, I will hold you up through the night. I will make sure he is prayed for continuously throughout the night. I promise. I will be on high prayer alert. So, you rest, and I will pray. He WILL be fine. I know it. Love, Missy

  13. I am one of the friends in El Paso, TX and I read your blog every day, many times through my tears. My son was very ill with cancer about 16 years ago, so I understand a little bit of the heartache you are feeling as you see your child suffer. Many prayers are going up on your behalf! We are glad our Father hears us and He not only hears our cry, but He hears even the faintest sigh - "He who hath heard thy cry, Will never close His ear; He who hath marked thy faintest sigh Will not forget they tear." I hope your brave and dear little son has a better day tomorrow.

  15. I read the messages of Pomuffin and Missy and stand with them in the gap while you rest. Our God reigns and He is on duty through the night/ My prayers for all of you. God bless and sustain and sometimes we do all we can do and it is time for us to stand still and watch the salvation of God as he fights this battle. It is His battle.
    "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that IS AT WORK within us (within Clay) to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throught all generations, (today) for ever and ever! Amen" I love you, DeeDee and Chance.

  16. Dear Little Clay and family:
    You can never know how you have touched and softened the hearts of so many. The love and faith of the Fite family has been such an inspiration--we know God holds you all in His heart and His hands. Yours friends the world over are watching and praying.........thank you for your example. We heard in prayer this morning....."love and sorrow, interwoven....Love in ALL I see."

  17. I am Susie Block's mom...........my heart aches with you and for you. my years of working in the burn unit help me to understand some of the picture. We were reminded today that when Stephen was stoned, he lifted up his eyes and say Jesus standing and looking down on him. He is doing the same for you. we love you, Susie's parents, Raymond and Linda

  18. From California: My mother's heart is so heavy tonight. No hymn or verse came to my mind but I searched to find some encouraging words. II Cor. 13:14 was a comfort: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all."

    The hymn I came across that was a comfort was 265: "Help me to cling to Thee in every test, Finding the grace to say, 'Thy will is best.' This still the choice for me, This still the way must be, Only to follow Thee, Jesus my Lord."

    Please consider yourself hugged and hugged.
    Love and continued prayers!

  20. Watching and praying from a distance. But glad there is no east or west, north or south to God. I'm feeling for you as you have to face this setback. But setbacks are common for Clay's type for injury, so hopefully tomorrow will start better for him...for all of the family.

  29. So many thoughts and prayers for such a special boy and his family...... I love reading this blog. It encourages my heart so I can only imagine what it does for ya'll! I've been thinking of the hymn in yesterday's post "simply to lie still". Wow - that's a struggle when you have to sit beside him and just trust. I pray you will have victory in this and know that ya'll are not alone! Love, Kalin, Melisa & kids
