Prayer request: Please pray for Jason!

Attention Blog readers!!! I am a firm believer that God answers prayers. Right now a friend from our church is in a fight for his life. His wife, Buffy and him have a 3 year old little girl and a 10 day old little girl. Their newborn was in ICU for the first week of her life. The day that they brought her home from the hospital he collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. His wife called 911 and started CPR. When the first response team arrived they took over and had to shock his heart. He was life flighted to a local hospital. He is currently on a ventilator and non-responsive. One of the treatments for cardiac arrest patients is hyperthermic therapy which is when they cool the body to prevent organ damage. They kept Jason's body super cold for 24 hours. Currently they are starting to warm his body at 0.3 degrees per hour until his body temp reaches 98.6. Once he is back to regular body temperature the neurologist will be able to determine his brain activity. His wife, Buffy, recently posted on FB that the doctors have informed her the EEG findings are not promising. Jason NEEDS a Miracle! Please say a prayer for two for this family. I can't imagine what they are going through. Here are a few pictures of Jason, Buffy, and their oldest daughter.






Jason was a God-send to our MOPS group in December. He came to our MOPS meeting "secretly" to video tape the preschool aged children as they shared their version of the Christmas Story. Jason edited his tapings and made us this video. The moms loved it! If you want to view this video click HERE. The adult male voice that you hear is Jason.
