Hi everyone! What a blessing it is that so many are visiting this site and sharing it with friends, churches, loved ones, etc. I know that Angel's family appreciates all of you so very much. Your donations to the ChipIn fund are soooooo much appreciated. The family has found a place to stay that will be requiring an $11,000.00 deposit. Keep 'em coming! They are planning on moving in this Wednesday.
Angel is still doing well, but has been experiencing a bit more pain in the last few days and has not been quite himself. Please keep the prayers coming! He got to visit with his little brother yesterday and little bro also got to spend some much needed time with Mom & Dad. Not an easy time for him, either.
Angel is scheduled to have a procedure on Monday that will determine how some things are coming along and could be moved to a regular floor, out of the ICU today. That is not definite yet, but a good possibility. I'll keep you updated as we know more.
I received an email saying that the ChipIn link didn't seem to be working properly. I will check into that more thoroughly later today. Rest assured, if you have had a problem with it registering your donation, the family has a record of your donation. So, fear not...it will be accounted for.
I thought I should also add that, as you've prob figured out by now, I'm helping the family maintain this site, and for those of you who know them well, and might be concerned, yes, they know about it, and we are working on it together! So, sometimes you will see posts from me and sometimes posts from the family. So, don't be concerned. All is well! OK-I think that's it for now. Thanks for all of your prayers and support.

About Me
- Angel's Wings
- Nick and Sarah brought Angel home at age 3 as a very medically fragile child. They gave him 2 years prognosis. He was born weighing 1lb 7oz and they took out most of his small intestines. Because of this, he has been dependent on IV nutrition (called TPN) since birth. There are two things that have threatened his life in the last 5 years: 1) A line infection resulting in sepsis in the Central Line placed in his heart to infuse the TPN and 2) Liver failure as a result of the liver doing the job never intended of assimilating all the nutrients from the blood stream. After 5 wonderful years of doing better than anyone imagine and having a "normal" life his liver began to decline steadily. He was placed on a liver, bowel, and pancreas transplant list. He was listed 7/7/08 and received organs on 7/20/08. This type of transplant is very precarious and has the lowest success rate of most transplants. But Angel is a superhero and already doing better than anyone expected or has seen in most cases. Thank you for sharing in their journey.

Thank you for keeping us updated. We are praying for Angel and for each of you - claiming Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."
Love and prayers, The Brooks Family
