Prayer for Jacob

Today I am in Morgantown, West Virginia with a family from the church. Their son, Jacob, is four years old and is having his fourth open heart surgery. When he was born one of his arteries was not attached and his heart was not functioning correctly. He was rushed to the hospital here when he was baby and had his first surgery. Then six months later he had another surgery. Last year he had his third open heart surgery. Earlier this year the doctors realized his pulmonary artery to his left lung was blocked. In March he had a heart cath to see if they could unblock the artery and it failed.

Today he is having his fourth open heart surgery to see if they can repair the problem. Please pray for Jacob and his family BJ (Dad) Margie (Mom), Peyton (older sister), Gracie (Sister) and Mason (younger brother). The first four hours of the surgery is to get through all the scare tissue from the previous surgery.
