“I say this because I know the plans that I have for you.” This message is from the Lord. “I have good plans for you. I don’t plan to hurt you. I plan to give you hope and a good future.” Jeremiah 29:11
These two little warriors have taught so many of us about life itself, dreams and living each day to the fullest.
Megan was placed on bed rest for many weeks before the delivery of Zeke Emmit and Nash Wyatt at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, IL. The family celebrated Birthdays and Holidays in the hospital along with making many trips to Springfield to keep Megan company and lift her spirits.
On December 26, 2015, Megan and Jacob welcomed Zeke (3 lb. 1.9 oz.) and Nash (3 lb. 2.6 oz.) at 30 weeks. Both of these little warriors were placed in the NICU to gain strength and to fight. On day 68, Nash endured his first of many surgeries. This journey has been exhausting and difficult for the family while trying to keep life as normal as possible for older siblings Knox and Sylvie and making daily trips back and forth to Springfield to care for Zeke and Nash.
Zeke was able to come home in March and has been back to the NICU and home again due to an infection. 135 days after these little warriors entered the world; Nash was able to come as well; however, trying times lie ahead for the family as there are tremendous medical needs to care for these two. Zeke and Nash are finally re united with each other in the same house along with their two older siblings and their parents; they are all trying to get by day by day and desperately need our support along with our prayers.
Let us come together not only as friends and family but as a huge support system for this amazing family and show them how much they are loved and supported. The hospital expenses along with the in home staffing support and medical supplies are endless. Please consider helping in any way you can.
My brothers and sisters, you will have many kinds of trouble. But this gives you a reason to be happy. You know that when your faith is tested, you learn to be patient in suffering. If you let that patience work in you, the end result will be good. You will be mature and complete. You will be all God wants you to be. James 1:2-4
