Wes had a good day yesterday. He spent the morning in bed but was very productive after lunch. He was able to get a lot of work done and spend time with some friends that stopped by through out the evening.
This morning around 3am Wes wasn’t feeling really good but by the time he had to get ready for dialysis he was feeling much better. Today is Wes’ birthday and the kids have been praying that Wes will be feeling really good on his special day.
Wes is an incredible father, husband, and friend. I can’t imagine life without him. I think about the day they told him he was most likely going to lose the kidney. I entered his hospital room with tears streaming down my face and I found him on the phone calling “everyone” he possibly could to give an update and request prayer. He looked at me and said I could call people also. I looked at him and said, “You’ve got to be crazy! I won’t be able to talk… I will just text :)” As he was leaving for the OR he grabbed my hand and said, “Remember, There is no fear of bad news.”(Psalms 112)
God has given me a wonderful man. He has boosted my faith and has always gently brought me along with him. I know many of you have been blessed but I just wanted to share as his wife and friend that he has been a blessing in my life and I am thankful for the opportunity to experience life with him.
Happy Birthday, Wes!

Thanks for your post, and Happy Birthday Wes!
I had the privilege of spending time with Wes, Karen, and their family last night, and I found him to be just as Karen describes, even in the face of the difficulties that arise. What a tribute to our God, and what a tribute to Wes’ faith! We thank God today for your birth Wes and pray for your continued strength and that God will carry you now and always.

HI Wes! Happey birthday! I remember the day you were born. Who would have ever guessed then that you would be such a wonderful, inspiring man of God. I am so proud of you and proud to be your aunt. We love you and look forward to many more birthdays for you. God gave us a miracle in you. There were times when you were growing up that we all wondered about how you would turn out. You were so active. Now you are active for our wonderful Lord through all your trials. We love you and hope that you have a wonderful birthday today.
Happy Birthday Wes!
Happy Birthday, Wes. I check on the two of you each morning. Seems a little strange that you are a day older then my son. It’s like a tug at your heart. You two have won mine. Enjoy your family tonight…they are among the greatest treasures you hold.
Just dropping by to wish you an Awesome Birthday! God bless you! You are in my thoughts & prayers!
Happy Birthday Wes! We hope you get to celebrate and have a GREAT day!!! Karen thanks for sharing from your heart. You are a blessing to your family and to us!!
Love.
Steve, Robyn, Stephen and LeighAnn
Wes,
Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a Great day!!
I have been following your log everyday and I know where you are from my own medical issues last year but just remember it is one day at a time and trust in the Lord with all your heart and you will make it through! I know that it can be difficult somedays more than others but the Lord wants us to focus and listen. I learned that listening and following the Lord was the biggest part of my recovery.
We have been praying for you!
Love,
Kelley
Happy Birthday Wes. I always remember your birthday date because you and our first dog , Decan Jones, share the same birthday!!! He was born in 1968, so you were always a bit younger. With Jim, Trish , Jenn, David and you all being in the 35+, we still can remember you playing in the greenhouses. Can hardly believe you are all in that age category but I guess with all of us being in our 60’s , it has to be true!
Have a great day. Love ya
Happy Birthday Wes!
I know, I know, as usual I’m a little late. Happy Birthday. Love you all veery much. Still waiting for more miracles!
Happy Birthday Wes! This is nice I can read about you and write. I have been praying very much for you, your family, and Steve. I really can’t imagine what you go through but to have such a wife must be amazing and you must be amazing. I will look foward to get to know you like I do your brother Dave, and his family. I wish you all a blessed day. In Christ, Joe
Happy Birthday Wes! We have prayed for you since we first heard about your health issues, and we will continue to pray!
And the two of you continue to be a blessing to me and so many others. Happy Birthday, Wes!
Love Theresa
Happy Birthday Wes, We hope you have a few smiles today and may God hold you close!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WES! Trusting God today that you’ll have a good day on your birthday. Still praying.
Love you all very much.
Hi Wes. “HOPPY HOPPY HAPPY HAPPY BURPDAY TO YOU.” I know you know your Creator and Sustainer. My desire is for you to recover and continue to represent God, as I suspect you do. I will remember to talk with God about you.
Happy Birthday to Wes! What a blessing you are to your wife and kiddos…..and what a blessing your family is to those around them. We are praying for you! (All of you:) )

Hey Wes!
Sorry to hear of your difficulties.. Real bummer when these bodies of ours start to fade on us. Glad to see that the Lord is still working with you, giving the strength each day to “hang in there,” and keeping you “of good cheer… ” “Aunt” Wendy, Carrie & family, and I continue to pray for you. Will keep you on our short list of prayer!
