I'm only bits and pieces of information, but here's what I know about little Alec Dyja.

He didn't have pneumonia, but 4 types of infection, and now it's one big super "bug" that is resistant to all antibiotics. His lung had collapsed, but it reinflated.

He is still in the hospital, and today he was removed from all machines and tubes. He is in a lot of pain, writhing and moaning. Doctors can't say exactly when, but are speculating it might only be a few days away unless a miracle happens.

The family is very upset, but they also are in a deep financial crisis, so prayers for that end, too. They have no money for funeral expenses...not even a plot yet.

Jenn, will continue to pray for this family in their deep suffering, praying particularly that God will draw tremendous blessings and graces upon them all, particularly Alec.

I don't think an official fund, but his grandmother just sent me this email this morning, so perfect timing:
Alec has acquired a super bug. We have used up all antibiotics there is. Alec is very uncomfortable we had to stop the TPN which was causing him more discomfort. His kidneys are starting to shut down his gut is not working. If it is not moving it is also dying.

We are now asking you all to pray that he will go HOME TO HEAVEN QUICKLY and not have to suffer in this Valley of TEARS any longer.

With our love and prayers for your great charity to Alec Dyja and the entire family.
Funeral arrangements will be posted.

If any would like to donate for the funeral expenses.
send donations to
