Our youngest son is named Ronny. Ronny was born 7 1/2 years ago with a series of heart conditions. Ronny was life flighted shortly after he was born and the doctors did not expect him to make it. As soon as the helicopter lifted off taking him to a larger city and hospital, people began to pray. By the time the helicopter reached Tulsa, Ronny had stabilized. The nurse on the chopper with Ronny said it was amazing. One minute Ronny was fighting for his life and the next minute he stabilized and rested peacefully.
Ronny was only in NICU for a few days before he was released. Ronny still suffers from Pulmonary Stenosis and ASD. They say Ronny will require open heart surgery soon so please pray for Ronny.
As I said before, we are believers and believe in the power of prayer. For many years we have prayed that God would make Ronny strong enough to withstand anything thrown at him. Well, God answered in a BIG way. :-) Ronny is a BIG boy. Seriously, he is 7 1/2 years old and is 4'7" tall. He is projected to be just over 7 feet tall. He is the height and weight of a 12 year old (and the appetite).
He wears a size 6 1/2 MEN'S shoe. Men's small/medium t-shirts. I guess you get the idea. We always joke that maybe we prayed a little too hard. (Just kidding, all prayer is wonderful). Now the issue is that Ronny has heart conditions and a 7 year old child heart that is trying to maintain a 12 year old size body. New issues but I believe God has a reason for everything.
Pray for Ronny and share with me your stories. Do you have a 7 year old? How tall is he?
