Jacob

This little boy's name is Jacob. He is 19 months & has a twin brother named James. On Christmas day he drank lamp oil & ended up in an ICU in Michigan. He has been attached to a ECOM (heart lung machine that oxygenates a persons blood b/c their lungs can't) since that time. Today the doctors told Jacob's mom that he in brain dead. They family made the decision to take him off the ECOM & let the Lord take Little Jacob take him home to be with Him. Please pray for this family today! Mitch works with Jacob's older sister & her husband. We will be attending the funeral sometime this week.

May I suggest something that may help all of children to be a bit more safe? About a week ago Emmit got in to some Mr. Clean. I heard something splash & found Emmit in a puddle of the stuff. Praise the Lord that he was sucking on his pacifier! Needless to say, my heart stopped when I saw the scene. From what I gathered he didn't drink any of it but he did get a full body rash that lasted for 2-3 days (may have been the Mr. Clean or the spinach I gave him that night...not sure which) That day I threw away & gave away all the toxic cleaning products I had in our house. I never ever want to have to face what Jacob's mom is presently facing & anything I can do to help prevent that I'm going to do. My mom gave me a book for Christmas called, "Clean House, Clean Planet: Clean Your House for Pennies a Day the Safe, Nontoxic Way." The author talks about the dangers of the cleaning products in our home, the harm they cause/can cause to a person/child physically, & many, many natural cleaning recipes to replace them. It has taken me a few weeks or so to get all the materials & ingredients but I have found it to be very cost effective, safe, & workable. I hate to sound like a commercial (I'm not getting paid to say ANY of this...I promise!) but out of compassion for my little boy & every other little kid of any mom who may read this. My mom has told me stories of what my sisters & I used to do & get into. Please, please lock up your chemicals, put them totally out of reach or get rid of them. Again, I say this out of love & concern.
