Having someone close to you dealing with constant sickness or pain is horrible. It is emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically exhausting. It's living on the edge of a cliff, not knowing what is to happen next. Living one breath to the next. For those of you who don’t know about my sweet boy, Jaxton, he was diagnosed with several things when he was just a few weeks old. He had dilated kidneys, his bladder was stretched severely and he had problems voiding all due to a blockage. The Doctor we took him to was the best in the state. After being diagnosed he told us that the ultrasounds were astounding, his kidneys were the worst he had ever seen in an infant. Being a first time mom and with no family being close by I was terrified. Thank God my husband was right there for the journey ahead of us. It seemed my whole world was turned upside down. Waves of worry, distress, and constant anxiety had me crying, sick and on edge. What was worse was seeing my new baby, someone God trusted me with, suffer and I could do nothing. He would almost scream out in pain whenever he would need to void. We had many tests run, ultrasounds, VCUG, and blood drawn. When our sweet boy was a month old he had his first surgery to remove the blockage. After he was brought home the pain was gone but the damage was done. I would watch him sleeping so sweetly in his rocker. Tears ran down my face, unknown of what was going to happen next. I was reading and God gave me a verse, Hebrews 11:1. As I read it the tears seemed to flood my eyes. In that moment I began to pray. I claimed my son’s healing. I told God and the fight I was facing that if Jesus could raise the dead, make the blind see then my child could be healed. I believed and claimed. That wall of doubt and despair came crashing down. God spoke to my heart, “He will be healed. In My name, he shall be healed. In My time he will be healed.” God didn’t do an immediate healing on my child, but he immediately removed all the pain in my heart from anxiety, worry and doubt. God has done an amazing healing in Jaxton’s body. At Jaxton’s three month check up with the specialist his bladder had shrunk back to normal, it was 5x’s the size it needed to be. The Dr was speechless, stunned by the results. The kidneys were not back like they should have been but God healed his bladder. At his one year, Jaxton had no UTI’s and never had any issues with his kidneys. There was no scaring on his kidneys. The specialist told us that his left kidney was perfect. He was surprised to see how healthy he was. We were told that children who had the severe diagnosis like he did as an infant are not even close to being as healthy as Jax is. God keeps His promises. Jax will be 2 in February and still needs his right kidney healed. I believe with all my heart that He will continue to heal Jaxton. God keeps His promises. God cares about what is close to our hearts. God loves us. Be encouraged. Pray without ceasing. He hears our hearts.
