'Prayer has so much power', says Bethel leader as his ill children show signs of recovery

by Tola Mbakwe

Taylor's 2-year-old, Jaxon, fell seriously ill in the days leading up to Christmas. He was diagnosed with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (H.U.S), a severe complication of E.coli infection that can lead to kidney failure.

A week later his 4-year-old daughter Addie was diagnosed with the same strand of E.coli that Jaxon had.

Taylor, who has been documenting his childrens' health journeys on Instagram, said while his kids aren't 100 per cent back to normal but everyone's prayers are working.

"When we were depleted and out of tears, we'd read your prayers and we'd read them over our babies. And man, your prayers have so much power!" he said in one post.

"Addie's feeling MUCH better and slept through the whole night with a dry diaper. She still has a stomach bug but God's turning that around.

"Today Jax ate a lot (and held it down), he painted, he played with Play-Doh, he blew bubbles, and watched Blippi (his favourite show) and laughed the whole time.

"Now his kidneys need to keep healing...and he needs to pee, in Jesus name Pee! Please keep praying until he's sent home."

Taylor also thanked those who have provided his family with meals, gifts, songs, art work, and money for medical costs while his children are hospitalised.
