My youngest son Matt is about to have his 1st child. A boy. Brandi and he went to the doctor yesterday and half of unborn Hudson's heart is not functioning. When he is delivered in October at Children's Hospital in Dallas he will be taken immediately to open heart surgery to repair it. Hudson needs your prayers as well as Mom and Dad who are devastated at this news. This will be most likely my last grandson. That will give me 13 in all counting step grandchildren which I count as mine.

Thanks in advance. We are believing God for a miracle before birth for "Hud" (like the old Paul Newman movie). As some of you might or might not know I was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer that attached to my optic nerve when I was 3 years old. My parents were told I would not make it to 5 years old. Tomorrow I am 61. God is still on the throne today as he was back then. The cancer was gone with no medical treatment before I was 4 years old. I only have peripheral vision in my right eye and a lazy right eye due to the damage done. But I am still here.

"As he is in such a vulnerable state, the parents that you gave Hudson are filled with worry. Lord, please give them those shoes of peace that passes all human understanding. Ground them in the knowledge that you are there with Hud before, during and after his surgery"

As far as I'm concerned we will leave this here until the birth and success of all involved, and since I believe in the power of prayer, I am sending over bunches for the next 3 months. Your story alone inspires me, to the point that I know the man upstairs is in control, no doubt.

Prayers coming from Springfield, MO - and a fellow Bobcat! Thanks for sharing this with us and allowing us to pray for you. Your hope and your faith is awesome to see, and you are right as ever, God is sovereign yesterday, today and tomorrow, and he was not surprised by your cancer or by Hudson's heart. We will pray for healing, peace and comfort through all of this, and pray that God is glorified.

This might have been best served as a DM, but I suppose I won't be the only one wanting to know ... will there be any financial need for Matt, Brandi and Hudson? We all know, even with insurance, hospital bills and stays are burdensome. If there is a fund set up, or just a way we can give to them, please let us know, Bobcat.

As of now there is no need but prayers in agreement for Hud's health. Thank you though. Financially we will make it through it at this point. Thanks everyone. I asked and was told it is a blockage of the lower chamber of the heart. They are meeting with the cardiologist next week to know for certain.

Thoughts and prayers from Cuero - sounds like your son, his wife and especially HUD are in good hands and I pray his delivery and surgery are successful.... Modern medicine is amazing...... Also, Having faith is important....

our little miracle is 29 yrs old and other than a detached retina in one eye and the other eye is a little lazy - he shows no effects of being born at 25 weeks.... We weren't given much hope when he was born.... we kept the faith and I firmly believe it worked....

Text from Hudson's Mom today:

Took the arterial line out of his left arm, so now both hands are free with nothing on them. Report came back for his blood clot at the end of the arterial line that’s in his stomach and it’s completely gone! So they will be working on that getting taken out.

They just moved him over to the other wing. Everything is going SO GOOD!

So glad to hear of this little miracle boy getting better and better by the day.
More prayers from Giddings.

Maybe he can come home by Christmas???
What a present that would be.

From Hudson's Dad (my Son) Well, November 24th, he was on a ton of machines and medicines, and stuff that was keeping him alive. Today, the machines are completely off, and the only thing he is getting by tube is milk. This is incredible! He is 41 days old, and has two heart surgeries! Hopefully he gets to come home by Christmas! Maybe sooner.

He don't look happy but he is,

My oldest son was born 7 week premature. His lung were underdeveloped. He could not breathe on his own. His liver was seemingly inoperable. He did a lot of time in N.I.C.U. but he pulled through. I have been following and praying bobcat but have been terrified I must admit.. I was such a young man when my oldest son was born. I didn't realize the danger he was truly in. God brought my son through the darkness. Now he is a strong 24 year old man. I have faith that the same will happen in this case. God is great.. Merry Christmas.

I just saw this Bobcat. So thankful Hudson is doing well. He will have that scar for the rest of his life. Hudson already has faced adversity at such a young age. May God use this for Hudson as a testimony that God is in control. My hopes and prayers for you and your family.
