Our dear friends and module mates, the Hufty's, had some big news on their own blog today. Jack, born with a tracheoesophageal fistula, Jack will get surgery to connect his esophagus and stomach on December 21st. The family has been waiting for news that Jack was ready for this next step for some time now, so this is exciting news. It will be difficult, I am sure, to be back in the hospital over the holidays, but good to get it done and behind them. Mike (Jack's Dad) will also be off for Christmas, so that will help with logistics and big brother Logan - Justin and Kendrick's buddy. Their site is http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jackhufty

Here is an excerpt from their blog with their prayer request:
Thank you for all of the prayers you have said up to this point. We would like to ask for your prayers again during the next several weeks for our own Christmas miracle. We specifically ask that you pray for Jack to remain healthy leading up to the surgery, for Jack's lungs to be strong enough to handle the surgery, that the surgery goes well, and that his recovery goes well. Please also pray for the doctors, nurses, RT's, anesthiesiologists(sp?), and others who will be working with Jack. We have seen how powerful prayer can be and appreciate even the smallest prayers.
