What a difference a day makes! This morning it was truly touch and go with Sophie’s breathing, and tonight they are already considering putting her into a normal room because she has made a complete turn around. Praise God!
Apparently being large has its perks! Fortunately, Sophie gets her girth from her mother, rather than having a girlish figure like her dad…(not sure why Shannon is laughing hysterically as I type this.) Anyway, they said that due to Sophie being bigger and stronger for her age, she was able to put up with junk where most whimpier babies would throw in the towel. So hear this all whimpy babies of the world! Sophie’s coming for you…wait sorry…that makes no sense. Anywho Sophie is doing much, much, much better and, Lord willing, we could possibly be home by the end of the week.
I cannot possibly express how greatful we are for the bazillion prayers that went up on Sophie’s behalf. We were in tears most of the day reading everyone’s comments. Thank you, thank you thank you. God is good! Please continue to pray for her safe recovery
Amazed by Him,
Bart
Ps I am going through serious Sam, Gracie and Charlie withdrawls. Daddy coming home soon kids, and he’s bringing the good times with him!
My husband and I just got back from the concert in Edmonton, Canada. We wanted you to know that we are praying for your little daughter and the rest of your family–praying that the Lord will continue to carry you through this time and praising Him for the work he has already done.
We were truly blessed at the concert tonight! Thank you for coming and showing us God’s grace at work. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” God was glorified tonight! Thank you thank you for coming!
God bless,
Elina & Elliott Russell
So glad to hear that Sophie’s doing better!!! I know what you’re going through…Well not really. My parents would though. I have more experience on Sophie’s side; I was born with pneumonia and I almost didn’t make it. The doctors said it was a miracle I made it and here I am, haha. I’ll keep you and your daughter in my prayers. I saw you guys last June when you played RiseFest in Iowa. I loved that show!! You could really feel God’s presence, something I don’t experience often enough. You gotta get ’round near Iowa more often…When your daughter’s better.
Continually praying for you guys,
Johnny M
Glory to God!

I will continue to pray for her.
So glad to hear she is doing better! Praise the Lord!
I am praying for the continued improvement of your daughter,Sophies health.It’s only thru your daily walk with Christ,that God continues to work in your life and in so many others.Your strength in God is evident in your witness and thru your music.Stay strong bother ,we’re praying for you and your family.Thanks for the ispirational music,helping me stay more focused on God.
I was so blessed when you came to Edmonton,Alberta Canada at BreakForth while Sophie was clinging on to life in the hospital. When I saw the tears in your eyes from singing,”Because He lives” I was so moved. I pray total healing for Sophie, and I pray many blessings on you and the band for blessing me at the concert.
Thank God Sophie is doing better. My daughter was hospitalized for RSV in Jan. 2006. She was almost 5 months old then. I definitely understand as a parent how scary it is to see your child so sick. She is doing well now except she has asthma. I thank God for taking care of her. I will pray for God’s continued blessings for you and your family.
I’m hoping to see u guys when you come to the Big D for the Rock and Worship tour!
Bart, It is so great that she is doing so well. My family and I have been praying for you and your family and we know God answers prayers. I will never forget meeting you and the rest of the band at Winter Jam 2008 in Jacksonville, Florida. All of you got me through our toughest times ever when we lost our son Daniel to Leukemia. May God continue to bless you and your family!
