St. John's Group Email prayer request and update for Jonas Borchert (grandson of Don Nolte)
Jonas's Updates
Wednesday, February 1
Jonas has a second infection called Pseudomonas . . . in his port.
It's the same bug as swimmer's ear. The prescription for this infection is simply antibiotics. It is equally as serious as the Typhlitis but not as painful for him. The doctors haven't said as much, but I would imagine it is double duty for his body to combat at this point.
The resident this morning attested to the fact that he will most likely be here for a couple of weeks.

St. John's Group Email prayer requests from Tammy Miller
My family could use some also. My Uncle has been through a lot these last 3 months. His wife, only 49 years old (my Aunt) passed away unexpectedly from a blood clot. His mother (my Grandmother) passed away last week. I am proud to say my Grandmother was 88 years old and still married to her husband (my Grandfather-93 years old) after 69 years of marriage. My grandparents are an unbelievable couple. They taught me about Jesus as a young child and encouraged me to become confirmed, which brought me to my faith now.
Thank you,
Tammy Miller

Subject: My Daughter
My daughter had cervical cancer and was treated last fall and we had hopes that they had caught it early enough for her to live a long life. I thanked all of you for your prayers but this last Tuesday they did a pet scan and found 2 additional spots and the cancer is in stage 4. They are doing biopsies this next Monday to determine the best treatment.
Again I ask that you say a prayer for Heather and her 3 babies.
Thank you all
Kevin

Jesus said) "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on My account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12
According to reports, the 15-year-old Wisconsin boy, a Christian boy, was asked to write an article for his school newspaper.
The article of this Christian teen was to speak against same-sex couples adopting children, while another student was to take the opposing point of view. Both positions were published in the school newspaper.
When a male couple who had adopted a child saw the article against homosexual adoptions, they complained to the school administration. An apology was immediately sent out -- an apology which said the lad's article had been disrespectful and bullying.
Next, the student was called in to the principal's office. Without his parents being notified, the boy spent hours with the man in authority. During that time he was told he was ignorant; he was told he should write an apology and was informed he could be suspended for bullying.
Now if this story is true -- and a fair number of articles indicate that it is -- it's difficult to calculate the number of things which have gone wrong.
* A boy who used Scripture to fulfill an assignment is being penalized for his personal position. That's a violation of freedom of speech and religion.
* That article which ran in the school paper has been censored in the name of political correctness is a violation of freedom of the press.
* Those in authority who are charged with preventing bullying have used their position to bully someone in an inferior position. That is a violation of school rules.
I doubt if the lad feels he is being blessed because -- like the prophets -- he has been persecuted. More likely, he feels he is a victim, who has been told to discount his conscience and that which he has been taught.
It is a sad moment in our nation's history when constitutional rights are set aside and replaced by political correctness.
This is why we need to pray for this student and others, who are boldly taking a stand and who -- like Peter and John -- say, "We must obey God rather than men" (see Acts 5:29). We need to pray that Christians may come together and ask, "Why must we accept that which is against our faith and no one need respect that which we believe?"
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, grant us young men and women who, in their time, may cling to the cross and proclaim the Savior's salvation to a world which doesn't want to hear. This I pray in my Savior's Name. Amen.

Question: What does God mean when he threatens to punish the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Him?
Answer: If the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren also hate God and follow in the evil ways of their parents, then God will during their earthly lives punish them for the sins of their ancestors.

Jonas's Updates

Posted 21 hours agoThe painful intestinal condition Jonas has is called Neutropenic Typhlitis. You can read more about it here:
http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/183791-overview#1
In a nutshell, his entire large intestine is inflamed and infected. The prescription for care is complete bowel rest. No food by mouth. No food by g-tube. He will be getting all of his nutrition (what little he can) by iv. The less work the bowel has to do, the sooner it can repair itself. At this time there is no need for surgery. Whew. This is still a very serious and delicate situation. It could take days or weeks to get under control. Although it is a very critical condition for a pediatric chemo patient, they feel we've caught it early enough to be confident about his recovery. He has not been in this much pain since he first was hospitalized with cancer and I wish there was more we could do to hasten his recovery.
Thank you for all of your warm words of comfort and offers to be of help. Right now I can't even think of what that might be. For the time being, Jonas primarily needs rest. It hurts him to sit or stand, to lay on his back or to contract his muscles. Once he starts to feel better, I know he would love some company.
- - I was interrupted during writing this by his evening CA (nurse's assistant). I'll paraphrase. She said she was our CA last night but we had all gone to sleep so she didn't get to meet us. She wanted us to know how much she LOVES this boy. He was in such pain last night but was still so full of thank yous and I'm sorrys and helpful behavior...and she wanted us to know what a great kid we have. She went on and on. "My all-time favorite patient! " she said. I had to agree.
It reminds me of an anecdote I have told the kids for years. When you squeeze an orange or put pressure on an orange, you get orange juice out. You don't get apple juice or milk or tea. You can only get out what is there inside. It's the same with people. When the pressure is on, what comes out is whatever is inside. If you have stored up anger and hatred, that's what comes out. If you have stored up kindness and good will, calm and perseverance that's what comes out. No one is perfect, and we are all a combination of our best attributes and our flaws. But if I had to witness what I know about Jonas, his character through this so far says it all.Send a message

Posted 6 hours agoby Jody BrownGrace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ be yours. This is what I pray every time I look out the window, which is a good part of every day. The Bortchert courage and positive thinking is an inspirtation to me. Thanks for allowing me the privilege of being part of your lives.
Love and God Bless,
JodyPosted 9 hours agoby doug lairdI think we are going to have to give this boy some more names. I don't think four are enough to match his courage and grace. Please tell Jonas that he is an inspiration to us all and that we are proud to be his friends. Tell him to stay strong and that this setback is only temporary. We hope that by knowing that we are thinking of him and his struggles, Jonas can gain strength.
