He has crashed multiple times in the last 12 hours and has had to ventilated by hand once. We’ve decided to ask God for a COMPLETE miracle. This afternoon or evening we’re going to take Jaxton off the ventilator and take his life out of human hands and place it into God’s hands. We’re asking everyone to join us in praying for a COMPLETE miracle for Jaxton. We’re praying God completely heals him of Trisomy 18, he breathes on his own, his brain is healed, the omphalocele is gone, and he leads a long and productive life, here on Earth, healthy & happy and glorifying God in everything he does before he spends eterniity with Him!!!
Thank you SO MUCH for your prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
– Josh
We are living our story and Counting Our Blessings...

Lord God, in your name, I come before you for this family, whom I have never met but just happened upon from a friends blog, to wrap your loving arms around this family. To show them your unconditional love, to heal them of their pain, to comfort them in this very trying time, to make your presense known to them. Father I pray for complete and total healing for this little boy Jaxton, if this be your perfect will. Father we love you, we worship you and we thank you for your blessing. Please Father wrap your arms around this family as they experience such a tough time right now. In Your Son’s Name. Amen

Lord, Please heal Jaxton completely here on Earth. Let this be a modern day miracle that we all know you still preform. Let the doctors be baffled by what you have done and let more people come to know you through this child and his life. Let him grow to be a strong wonderful man that fears you Lord. You said where two or more are gathered together there you are in the midst. Lord let us be able to trust you and Your will and Your plan for Jaxton, but please God, let his mother watch him grow up, please Lord. We love you and thank you for what you are going to do in Jaxton’s life. Hold his family up Lord when they can’t stand on their own. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

As we were worshipping at the end of Flood is that we learned the sad news. We praise the Lord for letting you hold precious Jaxton in your arms and feel his beating heart, warmth and love. He was the most beloved baby in the world by all of us; but especially by two loving parents that were there with faith and strenght to show the world God’s power. Praise Him for Jaxton, Lisa, Josh and Jake. Thank Him for your sacrifice that will not be in vain. We love you and our hearts struggle as we think of your suffering and loss. I have no words to say that would comfort you but I know He will comfort your souls. In Jesus name we pray.

Prayers for you and your family. Cheryl Demus is a friend of ours (my husband interned for Chris Brown at First Baptist Pomona) and has told us of your son. We have been praying for you guys. Our daughter Faith ditched us for heaven when she was 4 days old. She had Trisomy 13. I actually posted a little bit about our story on my blog today. I know when I was going through it I just wanted to read something by someone who had been there. And there was no blog world back then and really no books. So if you feel like reading and relating…

Lisa I just heard. Jennee Searing put out a call for prayer. But sister in Christ I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words to even try to make it better, ease the pain or even tell you anything but I am so sorry. I want you to know that I have my church family in San Dimas praying for you and your family. I am humbled beyond words but I will sit next to you at the foot of our LORD and hug you in hopes to take even the smallest of your tears away.
In HIM,

Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers for the past 2 weeks. I find myself checking your blog several times a day and was hopeful Jaxton would survive. While his time on earth was short, know in your hearts he touched so many people. God has a plan for all of us and I know that God will help you through the days ahead.

Josh and Lisa, I am Dennis Pratt’s sister and he and Pam have kept me updated on Jaxon. It wasn’t untill last night after work that I found out that Jaxon went to be with Jesus. My prayers go up for you both through this time of loss. My heart aches for you, but I am rejoicing in God our hope, because Jaxon is whole now in the presence of his Creator. I thank God for the time you all had together nowing that you will see one another again. Praise the name of the Lord our God…

As I write this note to you and your dear family, tears flood my eyes. I lost my dear boy Matteo in 2009 and I know all to well the deep pain of losing a baby. I don’t know you and you don’t know me and yet now we become connected. I will be praying as you begin to work through this time of grief. St. Matteo has a new angel Jaxton in heaven today. May you find Peace, may you find support from family and friends and lots of prayers. Words are not enough during a time like this. Peace be with you. We are praying and thinking of you.

On the day when
the weight deadens
on your shoulders
and you stumble,
may the clay dance
to balance you.
And when your eyes
freeze behind
the grey window
and the ghost of loss
gets in to you,
may a flock of colours,
indigo, red, green,
and azure blue
come to awaken in you
a meadow of delight.
When the canvas frays
in the currach of thought
and a stain of ocean
blackens beneath you,
may there come across the waters
a path of yellow moonlight
to bring you safely home.
May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
may the clarity of light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours,
may the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow
wind work these words
of love around you,
an invisible cloak
to mind your life.
Written by the Late John O’ Donohue
This poem meant a lot to me after the loss of my baby St. Matteo. My mother had sent it to me and it has become a prayer to me. I give it to you now, I pray it helps you too.

“You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and His rule. You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.” -Matthew 5:3-4 (The Message Bible)

Praying for you and your family.. words can not express how heavy my heart is for you. I am so sorry.

Adoni,
You are the Author of life. Prognosis have no bearing on Your power. Please bless this family and sustain your servant Jaxton through his trial.
As you promised in Your Word, the faith of a mustard seed can move mountains. Your children now cry out to you, Adoni, to help this child in his hour of need.
May his life be a blessing to you. Allow his life to be a testimony that You are God, Who gave the first miracle of life to us as a people. May all who see Jaxton, see the work You are doing in his life, and glorify You our Heavenly Father. Amen

Over the months of reading about your faith you have truly been a light. In this dark time may your faith continue to shine. My heart has been so heavy for you and will continue to pray for God’s arms of love to lift you up and give you peace.

I am so sad to hear the news of Jaxtons passing. I found your blog the day before he was born and I will never be the same. As a mother myself I cannot begin to understand what you’re going through. Jaxton touched my life and was truly blessed to have you both as his parents. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family each and everyday and will continue to be through this extremely difficult time.

Praying for Jaxson and your family as you step into another journey. Sincerely, The Steele Family

I dont see anywhere that he has passed away..How did you find out he passed away? Is someone friends with the family and have heard that? The last post I see is that they were going to remove him from the ventilator and place him in gods hands and we were all praying for complete healing…anyone have more information? Would greatly appreciate an update if you do…I will continue to pray for the complete healing until i know for sure that he has passed away. Will also be praying for strength and comfort to the family…Thanks for the information

Dear God, you have your plan for each of us. I have never met this family, I just happened to read their blog. And I have been praying hard for them. I pray specifically for Jaxton tonight and I pray along with them for completel healing. I trust in you Lord! In the wondeful name of Jesus Christ I pray!

You sure show us amazing spirit. Lisa we went to jr high and high school together, I still remember singing Janet Jackson in the 7th grade with you 😉 I’m so humbled and awed by your faithfulness and courage in the face of unbearable pain.Jaxton has certainly got into mine and my sons heart and we prayed nightly for a miracle. I too have experienced a small bit of your pain. Me and my husband had to go to God and our pastor for help when in 2009 my water broke at 5 months along. We ended up with a beautiful angel baby named Bella Francis marie. I hope Jaxton and Bella get to play together in Heaven until we meet again. God is so good and that showed in Jaxton’s beautiful face. I was mad at God for a lil bit but quickley realised Bella was called back to God so she could bring us Bailey Jane in May 2010. She just turned 10 months and I thank God for both my girls. May God bless you again and you have your personal angel. Praying daily for you and your entire family. My condolences as well. Thank you again Husmann family for showing the true meaning of LOVE!
God bless
Nicole and kids.

😦 sorry to hear that your sweet jaxton is not with you today how sad! Please God show them your force of joy in the morning! Thank you God that you are always Good and our rewarder no matter what we may or may not understand in life here!

I’m so so so so sorry!!! My heart is breaking for you! No words will help right now, I know this. I’ll be praying for your family.

Am sitting here reading through your blog in tears. My 2 year old daughter is sitting next to me and she keeps asking to see the baby, so we’ve been looking at all the pictures of your sweet Jaxton. We said a prayer together. God bless Jaxton and your entire family.

I am very sorry to read of your loss. I pray that God will let me carry some of your grief today for you. If this makes you feel any better I have probably prayed more since this baby was born than I have in a long time. Thank you sweet angel baby for reknewing my relationship with Christ!

You don’t know me, but I attend PFB and heard of your son via the bulletin and Debbie Vinall(a mutual friend of ours) I know from experience that words will not suffice right now, but I just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss and will be praying for your family.

Hugs, tears and prayers from one mommy of a precious Trisomy 18 baby to another. It is a long, hard, grief filled road that you are on but it is one that God will carry you through. One breath at a time. One day at a time. Each moment with Jaxton will be treasured until the day you see him again.

“Thankfulness takes the sting out of adversity. That is why I have instructed you to give thanks for everything. There is an element of mystery in this transaction: you give Me thanks (regardless of your feelings), and I give you joy (regardless of your circumstances). This is a spiritual act of obedience – at times, blind obedience. To people who don’t know Me intimately, it can seem irrational and even impossible to thank Me for heartrending hardships. Nonetheless, those who obey Me in this way are invariably blessed, even though difficulties may remain.
Thankfulness opens your heart to My presence and your mind to My thoughts. You may still be in the same place, with the same set of circumstances, but it is as if a light has been switched on, enabling you to see from My perspective. It is this light of My presence that removes the sting from adversity.” (from “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young)
This is my morning devotion I read this past November when our daughter, also with T18, moved home to heaven. My heart is deeply broken for you as you say your earthly good byes today. I believe Jaxton has 2 birthdays now, his 1st one here to you & now his 2nd one home to heaven.
Our family is continuing to lift you up to our heavenly Father.
