We are AVM survivors, here for your support.

Nathan Andaya..the Lord will be calling him home

i don't even know how to start this..

first off, I would like to say thank you to everyone here on this forum who has been there for us throughout this whole battle..your encouraging words, prayers and kindness mean so much to us..

unfortunately Nathan will not be making it..initially one of the two main veins clotted..and now the second one had clotted off (due to high pressures of the AVM)..unfortunately there is nothing the doctors can do..right now Nathan's brain continues to swell due to the increasing pressure..he is on morphine and tylenol to relieve any kind of pain..we have been placed in a private room so that family members and friends can come to say goodbye..we were given an estimate of 2-3 days starting from today (dec 6th). The last CT scan revealed that Nathan had already suffered from strokes and additional severe brain injuries..right now he is currently sleeping..he is still being monitored but we decided to take off his feeding tube..

thank you everyone for being such a blessing to us..please pray for Tj & I...God bless

Paradox of Faith

She prayed for Your healing
She prayed that Youd be revealing who shes gonna be
She prayed for Your peace
She prayed that Youd heal the pieces of her family
She quoted the word
Said, whatever we ask in Your name we shall receive
And You opened the door
And You gave her what she asked for

He got on his knees
And said Father, would You please hear me tonight
She doesnt have long
Her lifes almost gone
Would You please heal my wife
He quoted the word
Said, whatever we ask in Your name we shall receive
But his wife passed away
And hes left everyday with the questions why

Why do some prayers seem to be unanswered
In return they cause our hope to falter
May hope be found
Not in what I pray for
My hope is in Your name
I will trust Your name

David was pleading
He was believing for God to save his son
But his faith wasnt shaken
When it didnt happen
And he chose to worship God
So much faith and so bold of Mary its told
When she reached to touch Your robe
It was counted as faith
As she went away to worship

Why do we formulate our faith
Provide our answers
For your unexplainable ways
May faith be found
Not in what I pray for
My faith is in Your name
And I will trust Your name

Lord I choose right now to trust You
Not for what You do
But for who You are
And though I dont have all the answers
I know that I will trust Your name
I will trust Your name
My hope is in Your name

Comment by marianne elizondo on December 7, 2008 at 6:38pm: Sweet Nathan, I read your mother's words that you are sleeping at this time and I wish for you pretty dreams....and I send love and prayers and great big hugs.
Jaimee and TJ, You humble me. I thank you for the honour of being allowed to pray with and for all of you. To be witness to pure love, faith, hope and trust is breath-taking. To be allowed a glimpse of sweet Nathan is a joy and a blessing to this world. Thank you so much for sharring him with us. Where-ever this road leads you, I pray God continue to guide you, guard you and hold you in the palm of His hand.
You are all, always, in my prayers.
