Supporting the Kaleb & Taylor Johnson Family

Just last month, Taylor was placed on bedrest due to pregnancy complications with her second pregnancy. Little did she know that 2 weeks later on February 22nd she would be giving birth to little Silas at 32 weeks. Silas has remained in the NICU and will continue to stay for at least another 6 weeks. As you can imagine, this has been an incredibly challenging season for Kaleb and Taylor.

While their family and friends have generously stepped in to care for their 3-year-old son and their animals, Taylor has remained by Silas’ side around the clock. Amidst this, Taylor has been battling serious post-partum infections and is recovering from an emergency C-section. Kaleb is also juggling trying keep work hours, driving the 2-hour round trip to the hospital and back as much as possible, and making a 3 hour round trip to transport Adaiah to and from family. As if that wasn’t enough, the entire family is now battling Flu-A. The physical toll is immense, and with Kaleb working tirelessly to support his family, the financial strain continues to grow. 

Would you consider joining me in providing prayer support and financial relief to this young family in the midst of this medical crisis. May we show them the love of Christ through this challenging time. Examples of areas to partner in:

Update #1

March 12th, 2025

Hey everyone, thank you so much for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support. We are truly blown away from the kindness of everyone. 

Silas is doing extremely well he is gaining weight at a good rate now he is 5lbs 4oz. Taylor is able to nurse him multiple times a day, and the nurses started him on bottle feeding as well. Currently the most he's drank of a bottle is 57%. The goal the are shooting for is a minimum of 90%. There is a good possibility he could reach that by next week. Tomorrow the nurse will start to ween him off off the nicu box. They will start clothing him and letting him try to heat himself. Once he completes that step he has a 3 hour car seat test. If he passes all of that we can get discharged. 

My parents, sister along with her family, Adaiah, and I all ended up with the flu either this week or last. Fortunately Taylor, and Silas did not contract it. Prayers would be appreciated in this we are all feeling really miserable. Adaiah is also struggling being apart from us so much so that is tough on Taylor and I especially Taylor because she sees him the least. Taylors recovery is going well though she battled a nasty infection for the first week after surgery, they had her on antibiotics and steroids. Fortunately I think those kept the flu at bay for her. She walks everyday from hopes harbor, where she temporarily lives to the nicu everyday. Everyday it gets a little easier it's probably around 2500 feet from point a to b. 

That is about all of the current news on us at the moment, again thank you all so much for the love, prayers, and support. Please continue to pray for a growing healthy boy, a complete recovery for Taylor, and the strains of everyone being under a different roof each night. It is not an easy thing.

We love y'all,

Kaleb, Taylor, Adaiah, and Silas
