Dear friends,
My name is Elizabeth. I am the proud mother of a beautiful 4-month-old boy named Beau Jonathon. Beau means beautiful and Jonathon means gift of God. Beau is our beautiful gift of God. He was born on the 8th of June this year. On the morning of his birth there was a word given at church “God has breathed his breath of new life into the kingdom today.” Because of this word we can have faith to pray for Beau.
I am writing to you, and as many Churches as I can to ask that you pray for Beau, my husband Thomas and myself. Beau has recently been diagnosed with SMA type 1. (Spinal muscular atrophy)
SMA has no cure. It is rare, but it is also the number one genetic infantile killer. SMA is a genetically transmitted condition whereby the nerves of the spinal cord (anterior horn cells) deteriorate, weaken and eventually die. Muscle weakness becomes worse over time until the muscles no longer respond. Key life functions such as swallowing and feeding can be affected. Because of the involvement of respiratory muscles used for breathing and coughing, those with SMA are at significant risk of contracting pneumonia or experiencing other lung problems. Children with SMA who contract pneumonia face a great battle for life, many of which do not recover. Intelligence is unaffected, and many SMA children are extremely bright and alert. There are 4 main classifications of SMA. Type 1 is the most severe and always results in early infant death. 50% of type 1 babies don’t make it to 6 months old, and only about 10% make it to 2 years of age.
Even though you may not know us, we appreciate every prayer said for Beau. We are begging God for a miracle! We know that He can heal Beau if that is His will. It provides us with much comfort to know people all around the world are praying for our beautiful little man.
I have started a group on -banned site- called 'I'm Praying For Beau'. I am constantly putting updates of Beaus progress on there if you wish to join. Just follow this link:

But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall.
