The Dr is going to put him in another kind of coma this afternoon to get the swelling down. We need him to live. Other than that they are still not giving much hope. She said even if he does live he is likely to have many deficits. He overcame them once. He will over come them again.
I wanted to upload a video of Jace, but I am clearly not smart enough. You will have to settle for another picture.
Jace's birthday was June 5th. A few days after that, I asked him, "How old are you now?" He said confidently, "26!"
We have no idea how he even knows that there is a number 26, but I look forward to his 26th's birthday. OH geeze I'll be so old then.
Please pray for a miracle, and for Jace to have a good 26th birthday.
Still praying. My heart is just absolutely broken.
ReplyDeleteThis hits my heart in so many ways. My prayers are with Jace and your family. May God's will be done. A million hugs and kisses to sweet Jace
ReplyDeleteThere is a special place in heaven for you Jace and a special place in hell for the person that did this to you.
ReplyDeleteFaith will find a way. There are so many praying for Jace, the medical staff, and all of the family. We all know that the power of prayer is stronger than any medicine available and that God's plan for Jace will supercede anyone else's plan for Jace.
ReplyDeleteJace I am still praying to Jesus that you will get perfectly well very soon you can sing us a song. How about the green alligator son? Or maybe just Jesus Loves Me. I know Jesus loves you and he is on your side.
ReplyDeleteI am getting down on my knees and sending prayers to God. God hear my prayers and heal Jace to perfection. Amen
ReplyDeleteGod knows best in all situations. He knows Jace is a very special child of his and may need another beautiful flower to his garden. We pray the best outcome for Jace.
ReplyDeleteThere is no death in God - only life. I am praying for courage and peace for Jace and the ones who love him so.
ReplyDeletejesus loves the little children and does not want them hurt. As this flower blossoms and becomes a beautiful flower, we pray God's will for him that he never be hurt again.
ReplyDeleteJace you are so in all my prayers along with your entire family. God so much loves everyone of you. There are plenty of people to fill your gap. I will continue to pray and not rest until you are whole again. Jesus will blanket you all with his peace and grace.
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing about Jace. I am praying very earnestly for all of you. His story is powerful and will touch people that you don't even know. (me) My baby girl has leukemia and I was very moved by your post about "trying to believe." I struggle everyday with why miracles happen here, but not there. One is saved, another passes. One child healthy, and my daughter and Jace fight for their lives. Your honesty is Spirit-filled and helped me greatly today. May God be with you every moment. Prayers from Abilene, TX. Mandy Flaming
ReplyDeleteJust breaks my heart to hear stories like this. I don't understand the world we live in sometimes and how ANYONE could do this to a sweet innocent child makes me sick. I pray for strong swift justice to this person and hope he never sees the light of day again. Just sickening.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with Jace and your family right now. May God watch over him and take care of this precious miracle now in his hands once again.
Stay positive and just remain by his side because no matter what I believe he can sense your there and that is helping him in more ways than you will ever know.
Sweet Baby Jace and family: I have never seen so much love and support. I have no doubt that God is listening. I can only encourage you to walk by faith and not by sight. What the doctors give you are facts but God gives you a Truth that changes the facts. As many of us read all these comments we are encouraged in our faith and reminded of what an awesome God we serve. We pray and we cry for Jace and his family. You must know that you have an army of believers standing in the gap.
ReplyDeleteGod does NOT CAUSE babies to become injured or die so He can have flowers for HIS garden! How could anyone serve such a "god"? I certainly could not! God is not selfish like that. An evil person hurt Jace and it had nothing to do with God. That person CHOSE to hurt Jace, and by God's own promise, He had to allow that person his choice. Why must we always blame God? Is our belief in Him so fragile that if we admit that something happened that He did not CAUSE, then it shakes our faith? Is that why we make up reasons why God supposedly hurts or kills little kids? Please!!! God allows FREE WILL for EVERYONE including the maniac who chose to hurt this precious child. He promised FREE WILL and He is not capable of lying. He also promised that ANYTHING we ask in HIS NAME, BELIEVING...we WILL RECEIVE. Lets STAND ON THAT PROMISE and BELIEVE that Jace WILL BE HEALED.
ReplyDeleteArguing about other posts or people's opinions is not appreciated on this blog. This isn't a place for anything but support for Jace and his family.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the continued updates, Stacey. I am still praying. We will all keep praying for Jace and for you and your family. - H
ReplyDeleteThank you Shelley and Amen! God can not lie and He can not break a promise. Stand!
ReplyDeletewhat a gift it is to be able to write in times like this. Inspite of the horrible situation, you still paint a picture about Jace that brings a smile to my face. Kids are so amazing that they can slip into your heart, undetected, and BAM, you love them. Jace knows he is loved, babies that are not loved don't smile like he does, he knows you are with him!!! I believe God is telling him all about how catepillars turn into butterflies and puppies turn into dogs and little boys turn in to big 26 year olds!!! I am praying for Jace, but I am also praying for Leslie and you and your family. I can not imagine the pain and frustration you are feeling, but it sounds like you are thriving against it all! Please take care and if there is anything I can do just tell Mandy!!!! Katie Baker(Gillis)<><
ReplyDeleteJace, I am praying very hard for you to be totally healed, from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet! I believe that God is holding you now, ever so tenderly. I believe that He is in your hospital room with you and your family, providing strength and hope for a bright future. Keep fighting, Jace! Family, keep praying- don't give up!! Many, many brothers and sisters in Christ are interceding for you in prayer. We belong to God!!!! He loves us more than we can ever imagine. We are praying for total and complete healing! We are praying for a second miracle!!
ReplyDelete8 weeks ago, my dad suffered a traumatic brain injury during a rodeo accident, and the doctor likened it to a baby being shaken. After 2 weeks in a coma (and countless prayers by untold numbers of Christians, both friends and kind strangers), he began to squeeze our hands. He's made slow improvements since then and been discharged fro ICU.
ReplyDeleteMy hope for you is to develop a strength of faith that comes from praying "Thy will be done" and meaning it, with no conditions placed on it, no bargaining (I'm guilty of that myself), and with utter conviction that the best will happen. Easy to say, so difficult to do when your dear one is lying there on a breathing machine. We want relief from the pain and we want it now. We want open eyes and moving arms and good vital signs. But sometimes the lesson is one of learning to wait for God's time.
So I will pray for your dear boy, but also for you that all this will cause you to grow in faith and strength. You will be strong enough.
"Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."--Psalm 27:14
After giving birth to my second child, the doctors told me I wouldn't be able to have anymore children, that I would miscarry even if I did conceive. I am currently the mother of four healthy and happy children. Science doesn't determine how God works, God determines how science will work. I am believeing with you and your family that if it is in God's will for sweet little Jace to be healed, then the science is irrelevant. God will heal him and make him whole. Stay strong and know that there is always peace and joy in the hands of God.
ReplyDeleteSitting here with tears in my eyes. Praying for this sweet boy. I know with God all things are possible, and I truly hope His plan includes complete healing for this little one.
ReplyDeleteThe Gentry's are all praying for Jace--from Josh in Stillwater to Jeff and his family in Boston, to Jim's brother's family to Plano. TX and to my daughter-in-law's mother in Amarillo, TX. And many, many, countless others who know that Jesus Loves Jace and will make him whole!!! No report any doctor gives will steal my joy! If Jesus wanted Jace now, He would have taken him already. I firmly believe and stand on the promises of God! Here's looking forward to Jace's 26th birthday with you!
ReplyDeleteI am believing for a happy & healthy 26th bday too! God is always faithful - I love you! Katie k
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry! We are praying for God's full restoration over little Jace! 3 years ago my daughter suffered a global brain injury and by the grace of God she is still with us today! Makenzie is the happiest, most lovable little girl today. She continues to heal everyday dispite what the doctors predicted! Our God is so good and Jace's second miracle is coming!
ReplyDeleteTons of hugs and prayers,
Pam and Makenzie!

God says, "Thy will be done." No matter what happens we have to have faith in God. It is all part of his master plan for us. We just have to believe. Good or bad and how it is defined will affect many. I've never met Jace or anyone in his family. But my heart cries tears for him, his mother, family and countless friends of theirs. I say I trust in God but at a time like this I have to question my faith. I think it is only human. Dear God please let Jace and his family feel your prescense and your love. Support their faith in you. My children and I pray for you all.
ReplyDeleteI am still praying for little Jace to get through this. May God be with you all in your time of need, I also wanted to add that he is a handsome young man, and I hope you all see his 26th birthday as well.. Many prayers too all of you from connersville indiana
ReplyDeleteShelley is 100% correct! Amen I say & thank you for posting that.
ReplyDeleteThru God we will overcome. I will pray for a miriacle and a blessing for your family. God bless
ReplyDeleteJace,
ReplyDeleteYou are a light to the world and to those who love you. Now, Jesus is welcoming you into his loving arms and you will continue to be a guiding light to those who love you.
Lots of prayers are going up for this mother. When a mom is hurting because she can't hold her child like she did or talk to her child like she is used to....that is the worst kind of hurt any mother can feel. I know that kind of hurt and I can just tell you that if you don't lean on Jesus you will not get through this kind of pain. I have to depend on God everyday to get me through a day without part of my heart from loosing a child and God is good and faithful. I know that he is holding my child close to him and loving him. Hold on to your faith in God and know the joy of the Lord is your Strength. Let family and friends be part of that joy the Lord brings to you during difficult times. Scream if you need to scream, cry when you feel like crying and know that is it ok to smile and laugh when you feel like it too. Love, a sister in Christ
ReplyDeleteYour family is in our prayers Jace always had a smile on his face when comming to the dr with his grandpa he will be truly missed and I hope that justice is served for the coward who did this
ReplyDeleteim so sorry to here about that im gonna keep your family in my prayers
