Please do not give up hope for baby Jonah, not all the articles posted about EB are entirely correct. I am 34 with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa. I have had a very full life and am now the mother of a very active 2 1/2 year old girl. <BR/><BR/>I also personally know of 5 other adults with EB - it is NOT the death sentence that the articles claim. You are lucky that Johan may be a candidate for the clinical trial. Keep praying and keep the faith.<BR/><BR/>This will not be an easy journey, but Jonah was born for a reason and has his own purpose in life. <BR/><BR/>I will pray for you and your family!

Here is my prayer for you both and Jonah. <BR/><BR/>Father of the heavenly lights, hear this prayer. You have set the stars on high and hold planets in place as witnesses to your glory and power. There is no chasm you cannot see, and no abyss that can hide from your site. This child Jonah is in the depths. And as your prophet Jonah was in the depths and you heard his cry for help, Lord I beg you to hear the prayer of your saints for this child. Father raise him up as a witness of your glorious power. Heal this disease in the presence of everyone watching so that all who hear will say that you are God, and there is nothing that you cannot do. May the healing of Jonah bring hope to the hopeless and breath fresh air of love to the lost. Father I beg you to release the hands of the devil and to send an army of angels to protect and heal this baby for your glory. Just as Elisha called for his servant to see the army of angels surrounding them on the hillside, may Patrice and Matt know that those who are with them are greater than those who are against them. You are the Almighty, the Alpha & Omega. Rise up Lord and fight for Jonah. We fall at your knees begging for the aid that we cannot give. We kneel before your awesome hand knowing that the future this child lies fully in your love. Give grace this day, and heal Jonah's wounds. Father we wish to receive blessings to this prayer because we are asking in truth of your love, your glory, your faithfulness, and your presence. Your promises do not fail, and your power never ceases. In faith that moves mountains through your son Jesus Christ.<BR/><BR/>~ Chuck TaylorTaylor Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544835573891516782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-83863496672246182402009-02-28T08:31:00.000-05:002009-02-28T08:31:00.000-05:00The Lord, and the Sloan's, are with you Patrice, M...The Lord, and the Sloan's, are with you Patrice, Matt, and Jonah.

There have been other times I have wanted to leave a comment, but felt "weird" since you don't know me. But I wanted you to know that I am praying for you, your husband, sweet baby Jonah, your family and friends. I pray that you have strength, comfort and peace throughout your journey. I have prayed for baby Jonah for a few a months now, and I don't plan on quitting anytime soon. I am also putting you and your family on my Sunday School prayer list. Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-44414681654103015282009-02-28T02:49:00.000-05:002009-02-28T02:49:00.000-05:00Katherine Hilton passed the news of your son to ou...Katherine Hilton passed the news of your son to our church's mailing list.
