This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God through Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, works in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were born in 2012.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6

Still improving, praise God!

Seth acts like his normal, happy, chuckling and grinning and charming self. The pulmonologist says he looks "excellent" and the nurse who just listened to his lungs marveled at the difference just since this morning. She said he sounds really clear.

He is still on 1 liter of oxygen, but the pulmonologist hopes to get him off entirely this afternoon. However, he likely will need some overnight as everyone's blood oxygenation decreases when they are asleep. Therefore, our earliest likely discharge date would be tomorrow or Wednesday. 

Gavin, my dad, Isaac, Will, Marcie and David are flying back to Dallas as I write this, so please pray for them. Naomi, Megan and Gracie are on a different flight back to Dallas as well (Naomi came just for the wedding portion of our visit; HUGE blessing she was here when Seth was admitted!), so pray for them too please.

I am in the cafeteria showing Seth the murals. Gotta run!

    I can hardly express how happy these photos make me feel, even with the oxygen cannula. Will keep playing for dear Seth and for your family during all the travel and changes of plans.

    Carrie, he looks wonderful. That sparkle is back in his eyes! Sending traveling mercies for all those in the air and on the ground! My heart knows you will be together very soon and on your way back to PNG. The "dark one" cannot win by trying to keep you and Gavin from your Mission! While he will try at every turn our Father has His hand on you all and you WILL be spreading His word back in PNG! Wish I could give you a huge hug, you are the strongest woman I know.....praying as always for you all and especially for my little man Seth!
