We write today asking that you would please pray for Jay and his family. You have stood in the gap on his behalf over the last five years, for which we are incredibly grateful. We ask that you would again.
Jay recently made the difficult decision to come off the road with Big Daddy Weave for a time to focus on his health. He’s had an extremely difficult week, culminating in side effects from his dialysis treatments causing him to be admitted into the intensive care unit yesterday.
The medical team is working to get his blood pressure stabilized and find the source of infection in his body that is causing him such severe pain. Jay was also told that another one of his fingers will have to be amputated while he is in the hospital. Compounding this, hospital policy changed today so that he cannot have any visitors, and his wife Emily had to leave him.
How can you pray?
First, that Jay's blood pressure will stabilize so he can be moved off of the ICU floor.
Secondly, to agree with us for direction for the doctors to find the source of this infection that has left a normally joke-a-minute Jay Dawg quiet and in constant pain, and that he may be healed from this intruder of an infection in his body.
Third, please pray that the Holy Spirit would fill Jay’s hospital room so that Jay will not feel alone. Pray that Jay will constantly be reminded how much he is loved. Pray that the Lord will give Jay emotional and physical strength.
Fourth, please lift up the hearts of Jay’s wife and children Emily, Makenzie, Madison and Nathan. Pray against fear. Pray for strength and the peace that passes all human understanding.
We love all of you. You are family to us. Thank you for joining with us as family now for Jay.
