This is sweet Michal Caleb, the eight-month-old son of our good friends Tim & Antje. He is scheduled to have open heart surgery on Monday morning at 7:00 am in Ann Arbor Michigan in hopes of correcting multiple congenital heart problems. His parents put together a lovely website for him, babymichal.blogspot.com, where you can read more details about his heart, the surgery, and the ways the Lord is caring for this beautiful family.
Please pray for Michal and his surgery on Monday morning. Feel free to share Michal’s blog (babymichal.blogspot.com) with anyone else who would pray for Michal and his family. (For those of you who would like to share your support, they would prefer e-mails and blog comments over phone calls due to the cell phone restrictions at the hospital).
Nate and Tim, Michal’s dad, have been friends since sixth grade. And Tim’s daughter, Anna is one of Ava’s favorite friends. They nearly share a birthday (Anna is only two days younger than Ava) and they were scheduled to share a hospital until I changed my mind at the last minute. This is one of my favorite pictures of Ava and Anna taken with Anna’s older brother Sammy. The girls here are almost as old as Michal is now.
We love you, Tim, Antje, Sammy, Anna, and Michal. And we are praying that God would continue to hold you each in the palm of his hand and that his mercy would cover Michal and heal his heart through this surgery.
