What Can I Do to Help?

Soldiers of Christ,

Here is the latest news on Baby Cox.  She still continues improve and show us that she is not intimidated by what her future holds.  Today, she was able to move to a conventional incubator from highest level incubator. Way to go Baby Cox!  Kamara's twin sister, Tami was able to enjoy "Touch Time" today during the 12:00 hour.  We might be announcing a name very soon, stay tuned for tomorrow's update or maybe even tonight.  As of right now, Kamara and Rod are with Baby Cox at their 4:00 "Touch Time"; then, they will be heading home.  Please pray that they will be at peace with having to leave their daughter at the hospital.  We have a wonderful opportunity to pray a prayer of peace and strength for them all tonight.  When you wake up in the middle of the night, say a quick prayer for them.  While the journey ahead of them is long, the Spirit is at work to keep them focused on the positives of each day. 

Below is a special message from Liz and Tami.

In Him,

Friends,

Words cannot express the gratitude the family feels from friends and family for all the love, support, and mostly prayers that have been lifting the Cox family up the past couple of days.  It is very evident that God is hearing your prayers!  Please keep it up.

Many of you have approached us with the question "What can I do?"  Well, first and foremost would be to continue to take Baby Cox to the Throne of our Savior.  Pray for this sweet baby to continue to fight and thrive.  Pray that Kamara and Rod will be able to see the truth and life in every single day. Pray that Kamara and Rod will be able to minister to others and that others will minister to them through similar experiences.

"What can I do?"  This is such a great question. To be honest with you, Kamara and Rod are still trying to figure out for themselves what they need.  After talking to some people which have been in similar situations, we have learned some things that would be beneficial to them.  So here is what we have come up with to request from our Brother and Sisters out there.  Cash. We still don't know about insurance or how much cash out of pocket they will be out; we will worry about that we when come to it.

For right now, over the next several months the Coxes will make numerous trips back and forth to the hospital. So, it would be awesome to have cash to buy giftcards for them. We will present giftcards for gas, groceries, and fast food or maybe from time to time a house cleaning.  It would also be encouraging for Kamara and Rod to know who is supporting with these gift cards, so if you could send them a note of encouragement with a family picture.  If you just want to send an encouraging note and prayer, it would be great, too.

If you are interested, you can send Tami Pruett or Liz McGregor the encouraging notes with pictures of your family. You can also send money to either one of us to put together a basket of giftcards during this time. We would also like to use some of the money to go towards their house being cleaned.  If you already have our address, you can go ahead and start sending them our way. We would like to put this together soon for them. If you don't have our address, you can email either one of us, and we will give you are address to send us your money, pictures, and encouragement cards.  Our addresses are tam.pruett@yahoo.com or liz_mcgregor00@yahoo.com.

Thank you so much for your support! It is appreciated more than you can imagine!

In Him,

Tami Pruett (Twin sister) and Liz McGregor (good friend)
