Baby Tripp

I know some of you have asked about the 'Praying 4 Tripp' button on my page.  I have become engrossed in this little boy's story, and thousands of others have recently, too.  This little trooper is fighting a horrible skin disease called epidermolysis bullosa (read about it here:  http://debra.org/) and his fight has turned ugly over the past month or so.  He developed a bad infection and things began to look really bad.  His mom, Courtney, has devoted her entire life to her son.  She spends hours in a rocking chair with Tripp, and if you'll read her blog, her existence right now is for him and taking care of his needs.  She's such a hero . . . I mean, really.  If you get some time, click the button and spend some time on her blog.  I'll warn you that some of the photos are graphic, but it just shows you the amount of pain that Tripp is in most of the time. 

Last week, a prayer vigil was held in Louisiana for Tripp.  Over one-thousand people attended this vigil and guess what?  God won!  Tripp began to get substantially better, and some of his pain has subsided.  This is still a horrible disease for him to deal with, and he'll have it as long as he's here with us.  For now, however, he can give his mom a few more smiles.  I could tell you so much more about Tripp and his mom and grandparents, but I'd rather you take a look at her blog.  I posted the a video from the vigil below, so check it out:

Please add little Tripp's name to your prayers.  He needs the Father's constant comfort and love in his sweet life.

Love,
