Jack is Chloe's almost 14 yr. old grandson.
He has had a chronic kidney problem for five years. The kidney problem is really bad now, and we will be in Houston on Monday 26th with him.
Please pray or offer your positive thinking for him, and for his doctors to find the bleeding problem. Pray that they have a procedure that will stop the bleeding.
Jack is a precious young man, and has enjoyed and loves the waters and beaches of Ambergis and Caye Caulker.
Thank you, Chloe

Chloe,
I remember how you mentioned your family so often and how you treated them to the wonders of Belize, mostly AC & CC.
I'm sure that many prayers and well wishes will come from the friends you have found on this forum and those that live the soil of AC and CC.
Many prayers for Jack and his Grandma Chloe.
Wonderful thoughts and the magic of medicine.
If there is anything else needed, do let us know.
Chloe, I will remember your grandson in my prayers. I trust that he will come through this with flying colours. He has a lot of good living to do yet.
Jim
Chloe...you have dibs on all my prayers for Jack, until he gets better.

Chloe, I am so very sorry to hear this news. My thoughts are with you and yours at this time. Sometimes it is just amazing what the medical profession can accomplish. Let us hope that this is one of those times. I pray that Jack will be able to return home with his family very soon.

Best wishes for Jack's surgery and speedy recovery.
Hospitals and surgeons tend to do their absolute best for children facing life threatening conditions, so be hopeful.
Chloe and Jack...my thoughts and prayers are with you. Be well and bless you both.
Thinking of you and Jack...and your whole family. If he's as strong as you, he will come through everything with flying colors!
Love ya,

Update, we all rushed to Houston today for the appointed time. Met with the Doctor,
and the first procedure has been rescheduled for Sept. 3rd, which is Jack's Birthday.
No real reason given for delay in procedure, but the Doctor was impressive, and we have faith in his knowledge and ability.
Jack was cool, as always. Even Gramma Chloe kept her mouth shut to listen and understand the approach the Doctor thinks best. Dr. did say this is very rare. Nothing adds up to know the cause of the bleeding as yet.
I know all your prayers and good wishes helped us, it was stressful, and disappointing, not to be able to start with the first procedure today.
Of course we will need your prayers and thoughts again on the 3rd.
Thanks a million dear friends.

Happy Birthday to Jack.
We are keeping up with you Chloe, our prayers follow you and your family.
Happy Birthday to Jack today. He will be in my prayers and thoughts too.
Jack said thanks for all the well wishes and the Happy Birthdays, too.
We are on our way to Houston this AM, prayers are needed, for the Doctor's eyes and camera to see the problem, and to zap bleed.
Thanks, Chloe

We have good results to report........Dr. located the bleed, and sealed it off, at least for now. If that does not hold, they know where the bleed is, and another procedure can be done that hopefully will be a more permanent fix.
Amazing seeing Jack's family cheer at the sight of plain good clear urine for the first time in 5 years. IT'S a good thing.
Jack is one strong trooper, the pain was awful from the procedure and he is still in some pain, but very HAPPY.
Jack said, thank all of you that have prayed and given good wishes to him.
He had his good luck coin with him, it is a 25 cent Belizean money coin.....it worked.

Chloe,
Your good vibes are coming full circle.
Teenah, OH YES........just trust and believe. Not all happens in our time frame tho, but will happen.
Wonderful news, Chloe. May Jack have a long and full life.
Jim
Wonderful news, Chloe! Thank you for the speedy report. Best of everything to Jack.
Kathy
I am so happy my fingers don't know what to say.
Good morning, and thanks.
Here is a man for you.........while still in recovery, Jack said Mom, you know I want to play football, so now I can, right?
We women were good...thinking Yeah Right!
*sigh of relief*
Finally!...some answers to your long search and a fix for the problem. I'm very happy for all of you, esp. Jack.
What a trooper!
FANTASTIC!!!!
If he must play football, tell him to practice at soccer first so he can be a field goal kicker!
Jack is still doing great.......after getting off the meds, he has regained his senses, has decided to continue his competitive swimming. Even sick he was swimming near the top of his league, but now he said he can really move up having much more energy. Also his good swim buddy just broke his arm in football, so that kid is on the bench. Jack thanks all of you for you wonderful support.
