Thoughts and prayers needed
 

Shadman has been so helpful in getting this site up and running and there are still some things that need to be done. However, he and his family are dealing with a more serious issue. His 2 year-old son, Jonathan, has an inoperable brain tumor. I first heard about it on SaltyTexan. Shad told me today that his condition has worsened and that the next day or so might be his last. Everybody keep Shad and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Salty

Me and my families prayers are with you Shadman.

Shad,I know you'd take that tumor in a heartbeat if it meant your childs survival.
I can't imagine if something like this happened to one of my children.
I'll give them extra love tonight thinking about your child.
God Bless Your Child.

Shad...God Bless and We will keep you and your family in our prayers.....

Shad i am very sorry to hear about your son.. you and your family are in my prayers.....[SIZE=1]TheToledoBendBomber[/SIZE]

Jonathan is still hanging in there. His oxygen saturation is down in the upper 30s now, and his heartrate is around 160. He just refuses to give up the fight. He has enough morphine in him to take down a horse, so he's not in any pain, but he's having difficulty breathing. We don't expect him to be with us much longer. In fact, I am utterly amazed that he still is. We have told him that it is OK for him to let go and be in peace, and everybody has said their goodbyes. I just pray that it happens quickly and with no pain. Please continue to pray for our little boy.

Shad, how long ago was the tumor found?

Shadman, once again I am very sorry to hear that we will keep Jonathon in our prayers!

With tears in my eyes, God bless you and that strong beautiful little boy Jeff! We could only wish to have a portion of the strength and courage that Jonathan has.

:( man..there is nothing harder than that...prayers sent!

I'm crying right now reading this to my family.
My little 5 year old angel haley said that the little boy is going to have wings and be able to fly with the birds With Jesus.

You never know what comes out of the mouth of babes.

Anyway.
God blessed your family with a child that fell ill.
He has taught you the difference between real love and just love.
He has taught you the difference between real pain and jusp pain.

It never seems right for God to take a young one.
Lord knows I'd be struggling every day with my faith if something like this happened to either of my kids.
What you and your family are going trough has solidified my family.
I give extra long kisses goodnight and extra long hugs in the morning before school.
Just wanted to let you know Shad that your son has made a difference in this horrible little world.
God bless him and your family.

Thanks MOJO....
 

Im lost for words and could only
[SIZE=3]Imagine the lose of a child.[/SIZE]

God, please bless Jeff, Jonathan, and the rest of their family. Let us all remember our frailty and mortality. Let Jonathan rejoice in everlasting happiness.

update
 

Sitting here at work thinking about shads son.
Gave my kids extra attention this morning before they went to school.

Anyone have an update?
Thanks

I've got a little boy with Crebral Palsy, he's 4. I know it's hard when our children are afflicted. I know that you would trade yourself for him if you could just as I would give my son my legs and arms and hands so that he can be physically normal. Just know and believe that there is no pain so great that our Lord Jesus Christ can't help you through. God has given me peace over my son's affliction and he can give you peace as well. My prayers are with your and your family as I did so before writing this post. My prayers are for peace and comfort for you and your son.


The Lord is my sheperd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His names sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me and your rod and staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over, Surley goodness and mercy shall follow me, All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

The bible says that we'll not endure more than we can handle with the Gods help.

Mojo, you hit the nail on the head...

Shad, being the father of 2 young sons I have no words to express my pain for your family...All I have are prayers...They have been sent...God bless!

God bless!
 

Prayers sent for the little guy and family.

Jonathan is still hanging on, though his breathing is much shallower now. It is absolutely amazing that he is still with us. He is calm and peaceful, and we expect him to slip away at any time.

So sorry........... God Bless

Mojo, great post. It is true that little Jonathan's light has now shined in many of our hearts through understanding better love for a child, or anyone around us. Our time on this earth is not eternal but it is with God's everlasting Kingdom. Peace be with you Jonathan Shaddix and know we carry your showing of strength in our hearts.

So sorry to hear the news. But he is with the Almighty and pain free forever.
Gob Bless Jonathan and keep him near to you.

Don't have the words, my mom and I sit here crying. My prayers are with you and your family. It'll take alot of prayers to get through this. I'm praying for peace and wisdom for you and your family.

shad, if you need anything, im speaking on behalf of everyone on this site.... just let us know.... my heart and prayers are with you and your family, be strong buddy GOD BLESS

No doubt where Jonathan is right now. Dad, you'll see him again and he'll be perfect and whole without any illness or pain. You'll know him and he'll know you. It'll be great.

Thank you, everyone. Katie and I are a bit numb right now, but doing OK. We know that he is without pain now for the first time in his life.

Prayers sent, he's without pain now, and is in heaven in the arms of the Lord!
