My youngest son was a couple of months early, flying out feet first, at 3.2 lbs! That was thirty years ago. He is fearless, strong & healthy and two years ago gave me Princess Lilli, my beautiful granddaughter. God loves you and your family & all will be according to his divine order. Love & prayers to all!
My continued prayers are and will continue (even after the birth) be with Kankelfritz family, as well as the doctor and nurses who will help to bring Baby Boy Kankelfritz into this world. Mike & Becky, continue to put your trust & any concerns in God’s hands. We will ALL welcome along with you & “big sister” Abby Grace the “newest member” of your family with joy and thanksgiving tomorrow morning, Friday, May 1, 2009! What a way to begin a new month!! :):) Love & prayers to all coming your way!! :):):):)
We had one at 24.3 weeks, and though she had some major physical struggles to overcome, with lots of prayer, family, friends, and a mighty God to watch over her, she is now a beautiful, perfectly healthy, thriving 6 year old. Our prayers are with you. God is Bigger!!!!
My heart goes out to you Mike. We trust in God that everything will be OK. But as a parent myself, I know how much you are worried and are thinking about Becky and your unborn son. As you said this morning, everything looks good for the baby. All the tests, ultrasounds, etc. have been very positive. That is great news and I’m am sure everything will turn out great for you and your family. Our family will be praying for you, Becky, and the baby. All is good with God!
I listen to you every morning on the way to work. I tell my girls (which are grown) what’s going on with you and they say it seems like I know both of you. Well, I feel like I do. I have been keeping up with the progress of Becky and Baby Kankelfritz. I feel with all the prayers, Baby and Mom will be just fine.
One of my favorite songs is Our God is an Awesome God, and He is….My prayers are with you.
Our prayers are with you! I can honestly say that I know what you are going through! Almost eight years ago I gave birth to my son Carson. I had been on bedrest for 3 weeks due to issues with my blood pressure and toxemia. Carson was born at 30 weeks weighing 2 lbs 14oz. God was so good to our family and saw us through the next weeks while Carson was in the hospital to finish growing! Carson will turn 8 at the end of May and he is truly our miracle baby! He is a happy, healthy and very energetic 1st grader and I am truly a blessed mommy! We will continue to keep your family in our prayers! Remember, God is good all the time and all the time God is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I listen to you everyday on my way to work and it’s a truly blessing. I also feel like I know you.
I can reasure you that God is in control of EVERYTHING! so, we just need to trust and wait on HIM, He will do the rest. we are on HIS hands and whatever He does it’s the best for us. please rest on Him. you and your family will be just fine because He is the one in charge.
my prayers are with you. can’t wait to see pictures of baby Kankelfritz!! :)
Our thought and our prayers are with you guys. I’ve been down that road myself, and I know Who is bigger than the fears and the problems. Keep your heads up… it’s the only way to see where the help is coming from. God Bless.
Mike and Becky and Abby Grace…….this little baby is a blessing from God and I have tremendous faith that all will go well and according to His plan. May the Lord give you the strength you need and may you feel His deep and abiding love as your beautiful baby is born. Love in Christ!
in september of this past year i was pregnant with my first child. i had an easy pregnancy until 31 weeks. i was in and out of the hospital because of a car accident and then contractions for no reason. the doctors weren’t sure what was exactly wrong until the last time i went to the hospital at 32 weeks. it was pre eclampsia. i was discharged from the hospital on a friday afternoon after they gave the baby steroids for her lung development. everything looked good with the baby. i had a terrible night that night and ended up in the hospital with major swelling, high blood pressure, and hard to breathe. i stayed in the hospital that night getting the shots to lower the blood pressure. nothing helped and so they ended up doing an emergency c section. my beautiful baby girl was born september 7 and excellent health. she stayed in icu for 10 days because her temperature was hard to stabilize… now she is a 7 month old, happy and very active baby! God definately blessed us and we haven’t had any problems. He was preparing her before we even new she was coming!
rearly 17 years ago my daughter was born 7 1/2 weeks early at an even 4lbs. she only stayed in the hospital a few weeks, started to eat on her own and by the time she was 6 mos the dr put her on 2% milk because she was getting too fat. she has never had a health problem in her life praise God! your family will be in my prayers. God is amazing!
I have been praying for you, Becky and the baby when I heard on the air about the situation mom and baby are in, the Lord is in control of the three of you and I have prayed that the LORD’s hand will be over Becky and the baby, that they will have the best doctors and nurses taking care of them and that all is well. I have cared for premie babies for 30 years and prayers is the best medicine. God Bless you all and be with you all.
My children and I listen to you guys every morning on our way to school. My son, Justin, age 6, is very interested in all things God. Mike made a huge impression on him this morning when he was talking about Becky and the baby being born early and needing prayer. Justin has reminded me throughout the day that Mike and his family need prayer. I just put Justin to bed and his prayer was, “Lord, please help Mike’s wife and baby be healthy. Help them while they are in the hospital and help the baby not to hurt his Mommy.” I am convinced that God hears and answers the prayers of innocent hearts. Please know that you were prayed for today by my little angel. May God bless you and yours during this time!
My prayers are with you. I also had PIH with both of my pregnancies. My son was born at 32 weeks. They warned us of all the possible scenarios. We were terrified and prayer was our comfort. Our 4 lb 15 oz baby boy is now 6 years old. He is absolutely perfect! Sometimes it is hard for us to see the perfectness of God’s plan with our limited vision. May God bless you and your family with peace, strength and a beautiful baby!
This is a prayer for Mike, Becky, Abby-Grace, and their little one. Our son Dylan was born 2 lbs 7 oz on August 23, 2007 – he was the size of a beanie baby. The umbilical cord and placenta had deterioated and dr.s estimated he was in “distress” for 2 weeks. Our last ultra sound turned into an emergency c-section. He stabilized, was in the NICU 4 days, crashed on a Sat and was life-flighted to Memorial Hermann. From that day on those amazing angels (dr.s & nurses) helped him get better and better. He came home 1 month and 1 week later on my birthday and he is a healthy, happy lil boy. In all that time there was a lot of praying going on – and it helped. God really does listen – Mike, your family will be in my thoughts and prayers and I know God will help your precious little baby. After all, children are his best work in my opinion. Jen
Everything will be ok. My daughter was born a little over a month early. 5 lbs, now healthy, beautiful, energetic and very spoiled 14 year old. God will be watching over all.
My prayers are with you all. Our son was 5 weeks early, we had two weeks in the NICU, (the nurses and dr.’s were amazing!), now at 8 months he is into everything and we love every second of it! During my pregnancy and even now, I would sing to our son “Jesus Loves Me”, but I would say “Jesus Loves You” , change me to you when you sing to your baby, that simple song served as a reminder to me, during the time my son was in the NICU, that God is faithful, and He is in control. While we may be weak, He is strong and He loves us, simple as that. So happy that you will be able to see your baby soon! So happy that God is faithful and He is taking care of Becky as well. He has a great plan and ministry for you and your family. Our prayers are with you.
Our prayers are with Mike & Becky..at times we are asked to do out-of-the ordinary things to follow Christ, even giving birth early. Our Lord will give you courage and strength during this time, know that His hands are there helping to deliver your precious son. May God’s love and peace be with you both and Abby-Grace, as she becomes a big sister.
As your baby is being born right about now, my prayers are with you all. 25 years ago, our youngest child was born 12 weeks early, weighing in at 2lbs.9oz. I know that he was literally prayed into this wirld, and ksbj was there with me the whole time. I know this is true for many of your listeners, so now we are here for you and your family. God bless you!
My nephew was born about 8 weeks early weighing 3lbs..this was in November..I emailed KSBJ and requested prayers for him and his parents…my nephew is doing excellant, if you saw him now you’d never think he was a preemie.. He was in the palm of God’s hand being taken care of..and so will your son….he is in the best hands possible!!
Becky and Mike – congratulations on Baby Samuel – I KNOW the Lord will protect him, give his doctors and nurses the wisdom to make all the right decisions for him during his period of growth, that Abby Grace will thrive as a big sister – I will continue to pray for your family without ceasing. 25 years ago on this date – at 6:36 a.m., my son was born – and he too was tiny – but incredibly loved by the Father. Today he is a tall, handsome, successful young man with a beautiful family of his own. GOD NEVER FAILS!
CONGRATULATIONS Mike, Becky & “BIG SISTER”, Abby Grace on the miraculous birth of Samuel Michael Kankelfritz! Our God is great! May our Lord continue his wonderful blessings on you all. I can’t wait to see a picture of little Samuel – we ALL will continue rejoicing with your family. Isn’t it a wonderful blessing to feel ALL the prayers the KSBJ listeners are sending your way, when you, Mike, are always reminding us on-air, to call in for prayer requests so you can pray for us? We LOVE you Mike, Becky, Abby Grace, and little Samuel. Samuel, our prayers helped your Mommy keep you safe til it was time to bring you into this world, and our prayers will continue to be said for you, to continue growing healthy and strong so you can soon go home.

Congratulations Krankelfritzs Family! Mike, I listen all day everyday and I am so glad to hear that Baby Samuel and Becky are doing fine. Remember, our Father is faithful and ALL things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose. Be blessed!
So happpy to hear things went well and everyone is doing fine! I was hoping something would be put on the website so all your adopted aunts/uncles/grandparents would know how things were going. Congratulations to Mike, Becky, and Abbie Grace on the birth of Samuel Michael! You continue to be in my prayers. And us listeners can hardly wait to see the family photos!
Welcome Baby Samuel! Mike, Becky and Abby Grace our prayers are with you and your beautiful family. What a wonderful God we serve and he will continue to hold you near. Grow strong little one, grow strong!!!!!
Wow! I have been praying about the birth of this baby for a long time. He was born at the perfect time God had ordain for his precious life. I will keep the whole family in my prayers.
Praise God! It was a privilege to pray for the baby, Susan and Mike! God is GOOD! I am so happy he is breathing on his own! I will continue to pray for his health!
Hey, I weighed 3.5 lbs and that was almost 60 years ago before they had all the great ways to help us little guys. Master Samuel is going to be great and we all can not wait to see his pictures on the website. Trust God and He will provide, just like He did!!!! We are all still praying for you guys….
Like many others I listen to you on my way to work everyday … no matter what is going on you always remind your listeners to trust in God and that He is in control … Mike trust in the Lord your God, He is in control. Remember He is a loving father … He is happy with baby Samuel.
Congratulations and may the Lord continue blessing your life and everything that you do abundantly!
My niece had twins 5 weeks early. One boy weighing 3lbs 2 oz, and one girl weight 3lbs 1oz.
There were in the hospital for 4 1/2 weeks after birth. Now they are 2 years old and are fine. The power of prayer really works. God knows who created this baby and he will take care of him. Please know that my prayers, soul and everyday thoughts are with you and Becky. Tell Becky that he looks like you, Mike. Rest, and enjoy, also I am sure Abby Grace is very proud.
Love all of you,,,,Linda
Samuel is beautiful. He will get big and strong before you know it!…
I know you are scared for him. Stay strong. Remember, God Listens!
Blessing to you and your entire family.
praise the lord for little samuel michael! love his strong name! our grandbaby hannah came 8 weeks early in 2006, and is a happy healthy 2 1/2 year old today! with all the prayer warriors involved in this, it won’t be long before samuel is running and playing, too!! many congratulations to all of you!
Congratulations Mike! I can’t believe how healthy little “Sam” is! I had my daughter, Rylee at 32 weeks and she was right at 3lbs. She had to stay in the hospital one month before they let her come home, so I know how hard that can be. Always remember that you serve a God that not only loves you, but already loves little Sam and has loved him from the moment that he was conceived…even before.
I used to visit Rylee in the hospital three times a day and would hold her and pray over her…I told God how much I loved her and didn’t know what I’d do without her in my life already. Clear as day, God spoke to me and said…”I love her more than YOU do…” and from that moment I knew that God was watching over her and he will do the same for Sam. Congratulations to you and Bekky both. You are very lucky to have two little miracles in your life. You are in my continued prayers.
My 30 week little girl weighed exactly the same. The early milestones were slow; however she was reading at four. Today, she is a special ed teacher with 2 little guys of her own. I know that God has a special plan for Samuel too. Enjoy every moment – it goes so quickly. I know you are both in His hands and will share untold blessings over the years. Mary
I WAN TO CONGRATULATE MIKE, BECKY, AND ABBIE GRACE ON THE NEW ARRIVAL. MY GRAND BABY WAS BORN THROUGH THE SAME SITUATION OVER 3 YEARS AGO, AND THROUGH THE GRACES OF THE GOOD LORD SHE IS STILL WITH US…YOUR SON IS SO BEAUTIFUL…LET ME TAKE THIS TIME TO TELL YOU THAT I LISTEN TO KSBJ LITERALLY 24 HOURS ADAY, I EVEN SLEEP WITH IT ON…KSBJ IS THE ONLY RADIO STAION WHO GOT ME THROUGH ALOT, TRAVELING UP NORTH…AGAIN CONGRATS…
Congratulation Mike and Becky! I hope you know how big the blanket of prayer is for Samuel and his big sister Abby Grace as well as both of you. Welcome to the world Samuel, we are glad you are here. I can’t wait to hear all the on air up dates.
I was born exactly 8 weeks premature and weighed 3.2 pounds. Today I am 38 years old and doing great. I’ve had very few medical problems throughout my life.
I know God the great physician will be with each one of you. I pray that you can come through this with God’s strength. I also pray for your extended family as well as your church family that they will help you in any way they can emotionally physically, May God Bless you with a healthy son in the days, weeks and months to come.
Congratulations Abby you are a big sister. I am very happy for the Kankelfritz family. May our wonderful and awesome God continue to hold your family in the palm of His hand. I will continue to pray for you even when you are all home safe. I feel like I am a part of your family through the KSBJ family thank you for sharing with us and allowing me to pray for you. God bless always.
Congratulations, Mike, Becky, Abbie Grace, and Samuel Michael! Can’t wait for an update on Monday for all of us who have been, and still are, praying for your family. A whole weekend without news (at least on the website where I can see) is not cool. lol
Thanks for posting the pictures. We are looking forward to seeing more. You
It seems strange to be sitting here writing to a total stranger about how I have shed tears and spoken up many prayers for you and your precious family, but here I sit. Just to let you know that I too have one of those precious preemies and as a former NICU nurse have taken care of many just like baby Samuel. God does not mess up. We do not know why. We do know He has a perfect plan for you, Becky, Abbie Grace, and baby Samuel. Stay in His perfect will and He will keep you. As for my preemie, he will be 17 next week, and is 6ft tall. God is so good. I give thanks to him for you and KSBJ’s wonderful ministry.
God Bless and Congratulations! So glad to hear that Samuel is here and that he & Becky are doing well! We will continue to pray for Samuel’s development, Becky & Abby Grace’s healing, and Mike’s rest! Peace over the whole family and Wisdom for the doctor’s & nursing staff!!! God is GOOD!!!
That would be so scary for that to happen to my sister. I will pray extremly hard. I have no doubt that The ALMIGHTY POWERFULL AMAZING God will hear these prayers and fix this wonderful and beutiful baby.
My grandson (now 4-1/2) came into this world over 2 months early. He weighed 3lbs 7oz and was sent to Texas Children’s neo ICU. Wish you could see him now. A perfect picture of health and very smart. Little Sam is going to be perfectly fine ( Of course I know you already know that)
Congrats to you and Becky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
God Bless and Congratulations ! I am so happy for you Mike, Becky and Abby Grace of little Sam. God has blessed you and your new Son are in my prayers. I have to tell you Mike, I was born in 1948 and I was 30 weeks early also…but my wt. was 2 lbs. and 1 oz. and I was 14 ins. long. !! In those days they did not have what they have now days. God had me live and I am still here. My mother did not get me till I was at 5 lbs. and that was when I was 5 months old ! So I am truly one of God’s Miracle’s also. As little Sam is too. So is Abby Grace, She is in my prayers for healing and for your wife as well. Take care “Go Samuel Go” !!! You will be home soon!!
Mike, Becky, & Abbey-Grace congratulations on Sam’s arrival. My prayers have and will continue to be with you. My husband were ministering in Jax. Fl about 15 years ago, a little girl was born to some friends of ours she weighed in at 1lb. and 5oz. We went in and prayed for her and several of the other ministers from our church too. She had a major brain bleed, but when the specialists were checking her out they couldn’t find it and thought the nurses had sent them wrong baby. Three diffrent doctors called three diffrent times to NICU to check if they had the right baby. God does miracles she is a beautiful young lady living for God and the only thing is she wears glasses. My God is in the miracle business, glad to hear he is fiesty and breathing on his own. Thank you also sharing this part of your lives with us that we can be apart by lifting you and your family up in prayer. God Bless you all.
God bless the Kankelfritz family! My prayer is that He will make all of you strong to get through this hurdle. Strength for Sam to grow. Mike and Becky to get the rest they need. And Abbey Grace because she has a little brother who will look after her. God bless the Kankelfritz family!
There is a song I always remember when times are so nerve racking, maybe you know it.
He didn’t bring us this far to leave us. He didn’t teach us to swim to let us drown. He didn’t build a home in us to move away and he didn’t lift us up to let us down.
I had a normal pregnancy at age 40 and a delivery I’ll never forget. When my daughter met this world she was not breathing and they rushed her away from me, I saw the expressions of all my family in the room with me at that time(it was full) and no matter how they saw it I knew it would all be ok. Her name is Mary and she is my gift from GOD!
May you and your family be wrapped in GOD’s peace so no matter how you see things or how you would have the doctors see things you feel It is all ok.
Congratulations! What a handsome baby! Our daughter, Becki, had her daughter, Autumn Reese April 30th. Maybe they will grow up and meet someday. (Ha! Ha!) Becki and her husband live in Richardson, Tx.
We know God has a plan for Sam and all of us. I lived in Tulsa 04 to May of 06 helping my Mom who has Alzheimers. (She is now at Sterling House Broken Arrow) I loved listening to you and Mike in the morning on KXOJ 89.3. Now I love you and Susan here in Houston.
Our prayers continue for your family. God is an awesome and loving God.
God bless you all.
Your baby boy is so precious. I just wanted to write and say that I know God will take care of the little guy just as he did for my son Trysten. Trysten was born at 32 weeks when my wife suffered from preeclampsia. He spent about a month in the NCIU while his lungs were maturing.He is now 16 months and completely healthy and running all over the house tearing everything up in sight. The doctors in the NICU are great as well as the nurses and I know that will take great care of little Samuel. God is in control and he will look over you all.
Congrats on your new arrival Mike, Becky and big sis Abby Grace. Jesus loves the little children and baby Samuel is in His hands and we stand in prayer believing and trusting for all things to work well by His power to bring Him glory and praise.
Your story is such an inspiration and so are the remarks left by those who have been praying for baby Sam. I feel as though I can relate. I am 26 weeks pregnant and 1 day and I have been on bed rest for 3 weeks now. I am expecting two preemies sometime between now and my due date of Aug 9th. My big boy is 1.8 pounds and my little guy is only 14 oz. I will add baby Sam to my prayers as this is the first time I have heard his miraculous story. I know it takes strong parents, a fighting baby, and most importantly an awesome God for these miracles to occur. I hope our stories have a happy ending like the many others who I have read about. May God bless your sweet little Samuel, my little Jason and Recce, keep them strong, and bring them home safely. Thank you for sharing and giving me hope.
MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU. I HOPE ABBY GRACE IS TAKING THE CHANGE WELL. MY NEWPHEW WAS BORN EARLY ANS WAS IN TEXAS CHILDERNS FOR SIX WEEKS.MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AND BLESS YOU,
my daughter was born at northeast 3 months early weighing 2.4lbs and that was 10 months ago. she also came out crying. Shes progressing very well! and Sam looks very healthy for being premature! my prays are with the family and i know how hard it is not to have your little one with you.
I am so glad you shared pictures with the listeners. I also had my son early (34 weeks). We were actually told that we needed to terminate our pregnancy due to chromosome issues. We firmly told our doctor that the decision to terminate a pregnancy was not for us to make. While Brock was a preemie, he was born perfectly healthy. I pray that Sam will have a similar outcome and will live a very full life. You are blessed!
Mike,
I listen to you and Susan every morning and you both are such an inspiration and a blessing. I am so thankful that Little Sam is doing well and pray that he will continue to grow and get stronger every day. Before long, he will be crawling around the house and keeping you all even busier. God Bless you and Becky and Abby-Grace and Sam. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers
Oh, he is so precious! I see what you mean about his hands pulling at things. He wants all that off his face! I’m so happy he is off the respirator now and I pray that he will quickly get to where you can take him home. God bless you all.
My son Graham was born 71/2 weeks early at Texas Children’s. He is now 20 years old and such a sweet, loving and caring young man attending college at A & M. I know that little Sam will grow up to be the same sweet, loving and caring young man because you and Becky have the love of Jesus Christ in your hearts. My prayers are with you as you go through each day with your sweet children Abby Grace and Sam. Bless you.
Congratulations! God is so good. I know Becky is going to be SOOO ready to get out of the hospital. Sam will be fine and Abby Grace will absolutely LOVE her little brother. You’ll all look back on this and see living proof of God’s grace. He does love us so much. My “Tiny Miracle” Peyton will be Dedicated this Mother’s Day at New Hope Church. She started out at 2 pounds 2 ounces. She is another prayer answered! God Bless you all.
Mike & Becky, can’t wait to see him in person! I’m super jealous that my mom already saw him, but I plan on hogging him the first time y’all bring him to church. Everyone will have to line up behind me! Love y’all lots!
What a blessing! He is beautiful…and yes, a boy can be beautiful. My first son was born 7½ months, weighed 4 lbs 14 ozs, 18″ tall. Today, he is a beautiful young man, blessing me with my first….and second grandbabies! Twins!! My grandbabies, Kendall Paige, weighed 5 lbs 10 ozs, 18½” tall and her brother Luke Ray, weighed 4 lbs 9 ozs, 18″ tall were born April 6, 2009. What grand blessings in teeny, tiny packages. God bless you and your family.
He is precious, how blessed you are. My Sarah Marie was a 28 week premie, 2lbs 12oz. We were both really sick at the time and the docs said it was safer for both of us if she was delivered. She spent 6 weeks in the hospital, she was 4 lbs when she was released. I remember praying during delivery that if one of us could be saved let it be my baby girl. Once we were stable I had this sense of peace I could never explain, everyone kept asking how I could bo so calm, I just knew all would be OK. Sarah will be 13 this summer, you would never guess she was a premie by looking at her.
I really enjoy the morning show, thanks for all you do. Prayers for speedy recovery for both Becky and baby. Blessings and Hugs to you all!!!
Mike and family,
i’ll add my prayers to those of all the many friends, family and listeners im sure are already praying for y’all and for baby samuel. he is such a beautiful little guy and a precious gift from GOD! i’m so happy for y’all and can’t wait to watch and see newer pics as he grows stronger and gets to come home with y’all!!
Mike, Becky and Abby Grace you know nothing is too big for God, you will get through this in time. Stay strong, like you always have, I too am praying for your family. I have had many obstacles in my children’s life’s. I am a grandmother also, I take to heart every specials moments and pray through all the heartaches and try to get through them with help of family and friends and of course lots of prayer.
My prayers are with you Mike, Becky and Abby Grace. A special prayer for Abby Grace who I know in her own way she understands. Children are amazing. I know that Sam is here for a purpose and he will be going home soon.
Praise God for baby Sam and his progress. We are all praying for his continued gain in strength, and that he will be a living testament to the glory and grace of God.
(we pray for Becky, Abby Grace and Mike, too. You guys must be incredibly fatigued!) Just know there’s a lot of love and concern in the greater community of believers, and we are hold ing you up.
I had my daugher at 24 weeks, weight 1.8 lbs. I know how is like to go and visit your little one to the hospital. My daugher went to heart and eyes surgery and a bleeding to her head. Now Emma is going to be nine years old, third grade, a smart girl. To God be the Glory.
Mike, Sam is going to be ok, just keep on praying.
I have a Sammy two, a premie too, 33 weeks and 3.7 pounds at born.
When doctor said no, God always says yes.
We love you guys.
We are going through the same thing in our church the pastor’s wife just gave birth a couple of
weeks ago to a little girl. We pray for her and now we are going to pray for you because you are not alone in this. GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR NEW FAMILY.
Put it in God’s hands. My little nephew was like that too. He was 2 lbs and 2 oz. He was just like that. The doctors said that he wasn’t going to make it. But we believed in God, and now he is 5 years old, and just like a normal kid. May God Bless You & Your Family. You Are In My Prayers.
He is just beautiful. Congratulations Mike & Becky on such a handsome boy. God brought him into this world and I’m sure he has great and magnificent plans for him one day. Just think how happy your daughter will be to have him come home soon. Someone to evenutally share her toys with and play games with. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May God Bless you and your family and keep you all safe.
Sam is the best,Gods help is in his little hands.Becky God has given you the the baby that blesses you.I hope you day is wounderful.GOD Bless you and I will keep you in my prayer.
Mike and Becky, I thank God that Sam is here. My daughter was 1 lb 3oz at birth. She is blind, mentally challenge, development delayed, and non-verbal. She is loved daycare she attends, which I thank God for; she is loved by the members at my church, Friendship Community Bible Church in Sugar Land, and she is loved by the so many members in her on family. Everywhere she goes, she is loved. I came to realize that God give special partents special children to take care of. So we are very special in God’s eyes for allowing us to take care one of his very special children. I listen to you and Susan every morning on the way to work.
Mike & Beky, my daughter was 3.10 lbs when she was born 4 years ago and you could not tell it today. She is so energetic, independent and sharp! It was very difficult for us as parents to see our little girl in the NICU every day, and some days not even be able to hold her, but God took great care of her, and helped her develop into a perfect little girl.
God is taking care of your sweet little boy and has great plans for him and your family. God bless you!!!
I have so enjoyed hearing the “Sam updates” each morning as I drive to work, and have been praying that he will continue to grow big and strong. I am a nurse in NICU 2 at TCH (just across the hall from Sam). Several of my colleagues and I have been praying for him…and anxiously awaiting his “graduation” to NICU 2. We look forward to watching him grow with you.
I just wanted to say that My heart goes out to you both. It is hard have a premi at first but the children make up for it. Being a mother of five and having twin premi’s, I can understand some of the joy and happiness you have. Never let anything keep you down because it is all worth it. In Christ, Jenny
Ihave heard that ya’ll have been calling Samuel,Sam I AM. Well i think it is an awesome nickname. I bet he is alot bigger than he is in the pictures. Well i hope he stays cute and healthy. God bless ya’ll.,
tiffany
I was a preemie 43 years ago-weighed 3 pounds. i consider myself a miracle and I know Sam has a special mission in life. I pray for you all daily. God Bless!!
Hi Mike and Susan. I love your show. Thanks for embrasing each of us in the morning with your love and humor. Thank you for also including us in your lives, though I know that has to be hard at times. I am praying for you all. Being pre-mature is not as scary as it use to be. I am sure Sam will do fine. I am raising twins that were early. They only weighed 2lbs. and 3lbs at birth. Michael had to have a little help,s he was the smallest. He is a 17 year old now. I know you probably hear a lot of these stories, but one of my Principal’s had a daughter, kind like your daughter, though I think she is more severe. She can’t do anything for herself, doesn’t show a whole lot of emotions, but they have loved her and taken care of her her whole life. About two years later they had another little girl who has been healthy and loving. The older little girl is in her forties I think. The youngest one just had a baby of her own. You and you wife are doing a great job. It isn’t easy I know, but you will truly be blessed. May God continue to watch over all of you. Thank you for being there to remind us that God is there and that there is hope. Love you guys. Judy
Hello Mike, walking into a NICU is a complete diffrent club. I remembered stepping in and seeing my tiny baby boy Zachariah. weighing 2pds 10oz I cound not not believe how perfect and complete he was. God has done great things but when you go home with him, he will just be a reminder on how GREAT GOD REALLY IS. Zach is now 6months and is 19pds. Take all of this and use it to help others and in a couple of months this will al be a story to reach others. God Bless you, your wife and baby Sam.
Listening to KSBJ is my morning theraphy going to work and God has answered all of my prayers. I had two miscarriages before my oldest son whom I conceived for 6 months literally in bed. He is turning 20 in September. After him I had another miscarriage, so the fear of having another baby increased…BUT…my faith in God was stronger than the fear I was feeling. Now I have 4 healthy, beautiful children..20, 14, 9 and 6 years old. To Mike, Becky, Abby Grace and Sam…our Heavenly Father is always watching over you. Everything in life has a purpose and only HE knows the reason for these. Our GOD is an AWESOME GOD, a LOVING FATHER who will never let His children down. MY prayers are always with you…and to little Sam and I believe that you are strong, a great fighter because GOD is your stronghold and shield amidst all these trials. God bless you all.
God is an awesome God and he will take care of baby Sam. FYI… I was born when my Mom was in her sixth month on May 22 and her due date was the end of August at 1lb 13 ozs. I turned 46 years last month!! God Bless you all.
How do I get more information about the lady who called in this morning so distraught. I didn’t hear most of the story but her anquish was something I have experienced before. I believe she (Connie?) was losing her house?
Mike, I love you and Susan in the morning– it is great to hear Sam updates… You are in my prayers… we need some new pics. of baby Sam….. He is just precious!!
Mike, Thanks for posting the new pics. He looks wonderful and big sister looks enchanted. You guys have a lot of sleepless nights ahead, but even more precious memories. God bless your family.
Me and my wife are going to be celebrating our 2 year wedding aniversary this June,and she is 14 weeks pregnet. I hear about your child every morning and just want to say you are an inspiratiion to me. I know God is going to take care of your child and truely believe your sittuation is a good faith message for the world to see. Stay strong and focused on the lord our God , Our prayers are with you , The Mares family.
I know you’re probably feeling exhausted, but keep focused on the fact that the reward is worth the effort! My twin boys got out of The Woodlands NICU Easter weekend. They spent Lent in the NICU, having been born Ash Wednesday. They are such a joy to my heart and I know you feel the same about Sam. Enjoy the blessings and the adventure!
My Cousin had her baby a little around her 5 months of pregnacy during May 2008. She weighed 1 lb. 2 ounces. She had serious problems with her intestines and had been operated several times. Her mom (Irene) wanted to throw a big celebration for her 1st birthday but a couple days before her actual birthday she was taken to the ER for an infection. She has been in and out of the hospital and just recently got another operation. Please pray for Baby Ariana, her parents (Irene and Robert) and sibiling Noah as they are having a tough time right now. I will have all of you in my prayers. Thank you and God Bless you all!!
Oh my, you have 2 very beautiful children! I know your son will be home soon, he has such a HUGE family of listners praying for him! God bless all of you!
Hopeing all is well with your little family and I continue to pray for each of you. Took a peak at Sam and few more times before he left and he was more handsome each time!!!
Love hearing updates and have a smile ear to ear each time! God continue to bless each of you!! Love and prayers, Donna Hall RN
Please keep in touch!
Some months ago, you said on the air that a friend had a dream you were going to have another baby. You asked callers to call in and tell of their dream experiences. I called in and said that I had not one, but 5 friends tell me they had a dream I was expecting. I tried to encouraged you that God was in control and knew what he was doing. We were on the air and so I gave you the nervous and short version. What I didn’t tell you was that … At first I thought it was funny. By the time friend #3 came around, I began to get real suspicious. By the time friend #5 came around, I said “Don’t tell me… you dreamed I was going to have a baby”. I didn’t tell anyone. But I was terrified, angry and hurt. My life was in the midst of the firy furnace and I did not think I could handle the blessing which was to come. I was angry mostly with God. He was my best friend and I didn’t understand how he would allow me to go through this, knowing how much turmoil I felt in my soul. Needless to say, by God’s grace, I have grown much. He taught me much through this experience. But what I wanted to say most is that the baby I was expecting, the baby that I thought I could not handle… God used him to bring me the joy I so needed, to get through the trials and struggles that I was facing.
Take joy and courage… God is with you always and in control. He will see you through the waters, the valley and guide you to the top of the mountain. I know your baby boy will be such a blessing in many ways. Praying always for you and all your family,
A faithful listener!
My middle son was 8 weeks early. He was on a ventialtor for 2 weeks, and died twice They told us he would be brain damaged, blind, CP, etc….well he is now 22 years old, and graduated from college with his Assocate’s in computer networking. He has a full time IT job, and is enrolled in a Bachelors program. He is neither blind, or brain damaged, and is perfectly healthy.
By the way-he is 6 feet 9 inches tall….be careful what you pray for-you might get it and more! Praise God!
My granddaughter lives in San Antonio and called me to let me know about a new theme park that just opened in San Antonio just for special needs people. It is the only one like it in the world and it opened here in TX!!! It has a carosel, train, wheelchair swings all among other things. It is called Morgan’s Wonderland – after the owner’s daughter. It sounds truly awesome for our special needs kids. I have another granddaughter and a nephew that are special needs and am going to check it out further. God bless you.
Hi Mike,
I listen to KSBJ 89.3 every morning on my way to work and on my way back. I you said your daughter Abby Grace was diagnos of several conditions that requires attention. I absolutely believe that Abby could be healed. I belong to a ministry http://www.christembassy.org and the man of God has a healing ministry…go to http://www.enterthehealingschool.org . His name is Pastor Chris, he will be in Houston from 3rd -5th of September 2010. I have a book i want to send to you free from pastor chris on healing.

My youngest son was a couple of months early, flying out feet first, at 3.2 lbs! That was thirty years ago. He is fearless, strong & healthy and two years ago gave me Princess Lilli, my beautiful granddaughter. God loves you and your family & all will be according to his divine order. Love & prayers to all!
April 30th, 2009 at 7:14 am
My prayers are with your family.
April 30th, 2009 at 8:20 am
My continued prayers are and will continue (even after the birth) be with Kankelfritz family, as well as the doctor and nurses who will help to bring Baby Boy Kankelfritz into this world. Mike & Becky, continue to put your trust & any concerns in God’s hands. We will ALL welcome along with you & “big sister” Abby Grace the “newest member” of your family with joy and thanksgiving tomorrow morning, Friday, May 1, 2009! What a way to begin a new month!! :):) Love & prayers to all coming your way!! :):):):)
April 30th, 2009 at 8:38 am
We had one at 24.3 weeks, and though she had some major physical struggles to overcome, with lots of prayer, family, friends, and a mighty God to watch over her, she is now a beautiful, perfectly healthy, thriving 6 year old. Our prayers are with you. God is Bigger!!!!
April 30th, 2009 at 10:03 am
My heart goes out to you Mike. We trust in God that everything will be OK. But as a parent myself, I know how much you are worried and are thinking about Becky and your unborn son. As you said this morning, everything looks good for the baby. All the tests, ultrasounds, etc. have been very positive. That is great news and I’m am sure everything will turn out great for you and your family. Our family will be praying for you, Becky, and the baby. All is good with God!
April 30th, 2009 at 10:20 am
I listen to you every morning on the way to work. I tell my girls (which are grown) what’s going on with you and they say it seems like I know both of you. Well, I feel like I do. I have been keeping up with the progress of Becky and Baby Kankelfritz. I feel with all the prayers, Baby and Mom will be just fine.
One of my favorite songs is Our God is an Awesome God, and He is….My prayers are with you.
April 30th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Our prayers are with you! I can honestly say that I know what you are going through! Almost eight years ago I gave birth to my son Carson. I had been on bedrest for 3 weeks due to issues with my blood pressure and toxemia. Carson was born at 30 weeks weighing 2 lbs 14oz. God was so good to our family and saw us through the next weeks while Carson was in the hospital to finish growing! Carson will turn 8 at the end of May and he is truly our miracle baby! He is a happy, healthy and very energetic 1st grader and I am truly a blessed mommy! We will continue to keep your family in our prayers! Remember, God is good all the time and all the time God is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 30th, 2009 at 12:38 pm

April 30th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Our thought and our prayers are with you guys. I’ve been down that road myself, and I know Who is bigger than the fears and the problems. Keep your heads up… it’s the only way to see where the help is coming from. God Bless.
April 30th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Mike and Becky and Abby Grace…….this little baby is a blessing from God and I have tremendous faith that all will go well and according to His plan. May the Lord give you the strength you need and may you feel His deep and abiding love as your beautiful baby is born. Love in Christ!
April 30th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
in september of this past year i was pregnant with my first child. i had an easy pregnancy until 31 weeks. i was in and out of the hospital because of a car accident and then contractions for no reason. the doctors weren’t sure what was exactly wrong until the last time i went to the hospital at 32 weeks. it was pre eclampsia. i was discharged from the hospital on a friday afternoon after they gave the baby steroids for her lung development. everything looked good with the baby. i had a terrible night that night and ended up in the hospital with major swelling, high blood pressure, and hard to breathe. i stayed in the hospital that night getting the shots to lower the blood pressure. nothing helped and so they ended up doing an emergency c section. my beautiful baby girl was born september 7 and excellent health. she stayed in icu for 10 days because her temperature was hard to stabilize… now she is a 7 month old, happy and very active baby! God definately blessed us and we haven’t had any problems. He was preparing her before we even new she was coming!
hope this encourages you!

April 30th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
I will be praying for you, Becky, and your new baby boy that the delivery will go smoothly and both will be healthy.
April 30th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
rearly 17 years ago my daughter was born 7 1/2 weeks early at an even 4lbs. she only stayed in the hospital a few weeks, started to eat on her own and by the time she was 6 mos the dr put her on 2% milk because she was getting too fat. she has never had a health problem in her life praise God! your family will be in my prayers. God is amazing!
April 30th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
I have been praying for you, Becky and the baby when I heard on the air about the situation mom and baby are in, the Lord is in control of the three of you and I have prayed that the LORD’s hand will be over Becky and the baby, that they will have the best doctors and nurses taking care of them and that all is well. I have cared for premie babies for 30 years and prayers is the best medicine. God Bless you all and be with you all.
April 30th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
My children and I listen to you guys every morning on our way to school. My son, Justin, age 6, is very interested in all things God. Mike made a huge impression on him this morning when he was talking about Becky and the baby being born early and needing prayer. Justin has reminded me throughout the day that Mike and his family need prayer. I just put Justin to bed and his prayer was, “Lord, please help Mike’s wife and baby be healthy. Help them while they are in the hospital and help the baby not to hurt his Mommy.” I am convinced that God hears and answers the prayers of innocent hearts. Please know that you were prayed for today by my little angel. May God bless you and yours during this time!
April 30th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
My prayers are with you. I also had PIH with both of my pregnancies. My son was born at 32 weeks. They warned us of all the possible scenarios. We were terrified and prayer was our comfort. Our 4 lb 15 oz baby boy is now 6 years old. He is absolutely perfect! Sometimes it is hard for us to see the perfectness of God’s plan with our limited vision. May God bless you and your family with peace, strength and a beautiful baby!
May 1st, 2009 at 6:03 am
This is a prayer for Mike, Becky, Abby-Grace, and their little one. Our son Dylan was born 2 lbs 7 oz on August 23, 2007 – he was the size of a beanie baby. The umbilical cord and placenta had deterioated and dr.s estimated he was in “distress” for 2 weeks. Our last ultra sound turned into an emergency c-section. He stabilized, was in the NICU 4 days, crashed on a Sat and was life-flighted to Memorial Hermann. From that day on those amazing angels (dr.s & nurses) helped him get better and better. He came home 1 month and 1 week later on my birthday and he is a healthy, happy lil boy. In all that time there was a lot of praying going on – and it helped. God really does listen – Mike, your family will be in my thoughts and prayers and I know God will help your precious little baby. After all, children are his best work in my opinion. Jen
May 1st, 2009 at 6:09 am
Everything will be ok. My daughter was born a little over a month early. 5 lbs, now healthy, beautiful, energetic and very spoiled 14 year old. God will be watching over all.
May 1st, 2009 at 6:55 am
My prayers are with you all. Our son was 5 weeks early, we had two weeks in the NICU, (the nurses and dr.’s were amazing!), now at 8 months he is into everything and we love every second of it! During my pregnancy and even now, I would sing to our son “Jesus Loves Me”, but I would say “Jesus Loves You” , change me to you when you sing to your baby, that simple song served as a reminder to me, during the time my son was in the NICU, that God is faithful, and He is in control. While we may be weak, He is strong and He loves us, simple as that. So happy that you will be able to see your baby soon! So happy that God is faithful and He is taking care of Becky as well. He has a great plan and ministry for you and your family. Our prayers are with you.
May 1st, 2009 at 7:06 am
Our prayers are with Mike & Becky..at times we are asked to do out-of-the ordinary things to follow Christ, even giving birth early. Our Lord will give you courage and strength during this time, know that His hands are there helping to deliver your precious son. May God’s love and peace be with you both and Abby-Grace, as she becomes a big sister.
May 1st, 2009 at 7:26 am
As your baby is being born right about now, my prayers are with you all. 25 years ago, our youngest child was born 12 weeks early, weighing in at 2lbs.9oz. I know that he was literally prayed into this wirld, and ksbj was there with me the whole time. I know this is true for many of your listeners, so now we are here for you and your family. God bless you!
May 1st, 2009 at 8:22 am
Our prayers are with you and little Samuel!
May 1st, 2009 at 8:36 am
My nephew was born about 8 weeks early weighing 3lbs..this was in November..I emailed KSBJ and requested prayers for him and his parents…my nephew is doing excellant, if you saw him now you’d never think he was a preemie.. He was in the palm of God’s hand being taken care of..and so will your son….he is in the best hands possible!!
May 1st, 2009 at 8:51 am
Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!!
With a name like Samuel he is sure to grow up to be a mighty warrior for our LORD. I know he will be a loving and caring brother for Abby Grace!
May 1st, 2009 at 8:52 am
Becky and Mike – congratulations on Baby Samuel – I KNOW the Lord will protect him, give his doctors and nurses the wisdom to make all the right decisions for him during his period of growth, that Abby Grace will thrive as a big sister – I will continue to pray for your family without ceasing. 25 years ago on this date – at 6:36 a.m., my son was born – and he too was tiny – but incredibly loved by the Father. Today he is a tall, handsome, successful young man with a beautiful family of his own. GOD NEVER FAILS!

May 1st, 2009 at 3:46 pm
My niece had twins 5 weeks early. One boy weighing 3lbs 2 oz, and one girl weight 3lbs 1oz.
There were in the hospital for 4 1/2 weeks after birth. Now they are 2 years old and are fine. The power of prayer really works. God knows who created this baby and he will take care of him. Please know that my prayers, soul and everyday thoughts are with you and Becky. Tell Becky that he looks like you, Mike. Rest, and enjoy, also I am sure Abby Grace is very proud.
Love all of you,,,,Linda
May 1st, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Samuel is beautiful. He will get big and strong before you know it!…
I know you are scared for him. Stay strong. Remember, God Listens!
Blessing to you and your entire family.
May 1st, 2009 at 4:30 pm
praise the lord for little samuel michael! love his strong name! our grandbaby hannah came 8 weeks early in 2006, and is a happy healthy 2 1/2 year old today! with all the prayer warriors involved in this, it won’t be long before samuel is running and playing, too!! many congratulations to all of you!
May 1st, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Congratulations Mike! I can’t believe how healthy little “Sam” is! I had my daughter, Rylee at 32 weeks and she was right at 3lbs. She had to stay in the hospital one month before they let her come home, so I know how hard that can be. Always remember that you serve a God that not only loves you, but already loves little Sam and has loved him from the moment that he was conceived…even before.
I used to visit Rylee in the hospital three times a day and would hold her and pray over her…I told God how much I loved her and didn’t know what I’d do without her in my life already. Clear as day, God spoke to me and said…”I love her more than YOU do…” and from that moment I knew that God was watching over her and he will do the same for Sam. Congratulations to you and Bekky both. You are very lucky to have two little miracles in your life. You are in my continued prayers.
May 1st, 2009 at 4:55 pm
My 30 week little girl weighed exactly the same. The early milestones were slow; however she was reading at four. Today, she is a special ed teacher with 2 little guys of her own. I know that God has a special plan for Samuel too. Enjoy every moment – it goes so quickly. I know you are both in His hands and will share untold blessings over the years. Mary
May 1st, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Praise God! He is so cute. We will continue to pray for his good health. Gloria
May 1st, 2009 at 6:11 pm

Congratulation Mike and Becky! I hope you know how big the blanket of prayer is for Samuel and his big sister Abby Grace as well as both of you. Welcome to the world Samuel, we are glad you are here. I can’t wait to hear all the on air up dates.
May 1st, 2009 at 10:13 pm
I was born exactly 8 weeks premature and weighed 3.2 pounds. Today I am 38 years old and doing great. I’ve had very few medical problems throughout my life.
I know God the great physician will be with each one of you. I pray that you can come through this with God’s strength. I also pray for your extended family as well as your church family that they will help you in any way they can emotionally physically, May God Bless you with a healthy son in the days, weeks and months to come.
May 2nd, 2009 at 6:18 am

Congratulations, Mike, Becky, Abbie Grace, and Samuel Michael! Can’t wait for an update on Monday for all of us who have been, and still are, praying for your family. A whole weekend without news (at least on the website where I can see) is not cool. lol
Thanks for posting the pictures. We are looking forward to seeing more. You

It seems strange to be sitting here writing to a total stranger about how I have shed tears and spoken up many prayers for you and your precious family, but here I sit. Just to let you know that I too have one of those precious preemies and as a former NICU nurse have taken care of many just like baby Samuel. God does not mess up. We do not know why. We do know He has a perfect plan for you, Becky, Abbie Grace, and baby Samuel. Stay in His perfect will and He will keep you. As for my preemie, he will be 17 next week, and is 6ft tall. God is so good. I give thanks to him for you and KSBJ’s wonderful ministry.
May 3rd, 2009 at 10:20 pm
God Bless and Congratulations! So glad to hear that Samuel is here and that he & Becky are doing well! We will continue to pray for Samuel’s development, Becky & Abby Grace’s healing, and Mike’s rest! Peace over the whole family and Wisdom for the doctor’s & nursing staff!!! God is GOOD!!!
May 4th, 2009 at 5:13 am
My prayers are with your family and baby Samuel!!
May 4th, 2009 at 6:49 am
That would be so scary for that to happen to my sister. I will pray extremly hard. I have no doubt that The ALMIGHTY POWERFULL AMAZING God will hear these prayers and fix this wonderful and beutiful baby.
May 4th, 2009 at 7:04 am
My grandson (now 4-1/2) came into this world over 2 months early. He weighed 3lbs 7oz and was sent to Texas Children’s neo ICU. Wish you could see him now. A perfect picture of health and very smart. Little Sam is going to be perfectly fine ( Of course I know you already know that)
Congrats to you and Becky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

God Bless and Congratulations ! I am so happy for you Mike, Becky and Abby Grace of little Sam. God has blessed you and your new Son are in my prayers. I have to tell you Mike, I was born in 1948 and I was 30 weeks early also…but my wt. was 2 lbs. and 1 oz. and I was 14 ins. long. !! In those days they did not have what they have now days. God had me live and I am still here. My mother did not get me till I was at 5 lbs. and that was when I was 5 months old ! So I am truly one of God’s Miracle’s also. As little Sam is too. So is Abby Grace, She is in my prayers for healing and for your wife as well. Take care “Go Samuel Go” !!! You will be home soon!!
May 4th, 2009 at 7:44 am
Mike, Becky, & Abbey-Grace congratulations on Sam’s arrival. My prayers have and will continue to be with you. My husband were ministering in Jax. Fl about 15 years ago, a little girl was born to some friends of ours she weighed in at 1lb. and 5oz. We went in and prayed for her and several of the other ministers from our church too. She had a major brain bleed, but when the specialists were checking her out they couldn’t find it and thought the nurses had sent them wrong baby. Three diffrent doctors called three diffrent times to NICU to check if they had the right baby. God does miracles she is a beautiful young lady living for God and the only thing is she wears glasses. My God is in the miracle business, glad to hear he is fiesty and breathing on his own. Thank you also sharing this part of your lives with us that we can be apart by lifting you and your family up in prayer. God Bless you all.
May 4th, 2009 at 8:29 am
God bless the Kankelfritz family! My prayer is that He will make all of you strong to get through this hurdle. Strength for Sam to grow. Mike and Becky to get the rest they need. And Abbey Grace because she has a little brother who will look after her. God bless the Kankelfritz family!
May 4th, 2009 at 8:42 am
Hello Mike and family,
There is a song I always remember when times are so nerve racking, maybe you know it.
He didn’t bring us this far to leave us. He didn’t teach us to swim to let us drown. He didn’t build a home in us to move away and he didn’t lift us up to let us down.
I had a normal pregnancy at age 40 and a delivery I’ll never forget. When my daughter met this world she was not breathing and they rushed her away from me, I saw the expressions of all my family in the room with me at that time(it was full) and no matter how they saw it I knew it would all be ok. Her name is Mary and she is my gift from GOD!
May you and your family be wrapped in GOD’s peace so no matter how you see things or how you would have the doctors see things you feel It is all ok.
May 4th, 2009 at 9:14 am
God Bless you Baby Sam!!!!!! Congrats Mike and Becky !!!!!
May 4th, 2009 at 10:29 am
Congratulations! What a handsome baby! Our daughter, Becki, had her daughter, Autumn Reese April 30th. Maybe they will grow up and meet someday. (Ha! Ha!) Becki and her husband live in Richardson, Tx.
We know God has a plan for Sam and all of us. I lived in Tulsa 04 to May of 06 helping my Mom who has Alzheimers. (She is now at Sterling House Broken Arrow) I loved listening to you and Mike in the morning on KXOJ 89.3. Now I love you and Susan here in Houston.
Our prayers continue for your family. God is an awesome and loving God.
God bless you all.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:05 am
Hello Mike and Becky,
Your baby boy is so precious. I just wanted to write and say that I know God will take care of the little guy just as he did for my son Trysten. Trysten was born at 32 weeks when my wife suffered from preeclampsia. He spent about a month in the NCIU while his lungs were maturing.He is now 16 months and completely healthy and running all over the house tearing everything up in sight. The doctors in the NICU are great as well as the nurses and I know that will take great care of little Samuel. God is in control and he will look over you all.
God bless
The San Angelo’s
May 4th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Congrats on your new arrival Mike, Becky and big sis Abby Grace. Jesus loves the little children and baby Samuel is in His hands and we stand in prayer believing and trusting for all things to work well by His power to bring Him glory and praise.
May 4th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Your story is such an inspiration and so are the remarks left by those who have been praying for baby Sam. I feel as though I can relate. I am 26 weeks pregnant and 1 day and I have been on bed rest for 3 weeks now. I am expecting two preemies sometime between now and my due date of Aug 9th. My big boy is 1.8 pounds and my little guy is only 14 oz. I will add baby Sam to my prayers as this is the first time I have heard his miraculous story. I know it takes strong parents, a fighting baby, and most importantly an awesome God for these miracles to occur. I hope our stories have a happy ending like the many others who I have read about. May God bless your sweet little Samuel, my little Jason and Recce, keep them strong, and bring them home safely. Thank you for sharing and giving me hope.
May 4th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU. I HOPE ABBY GRACE IS TAKING THE CHANGE WELL. MY NEWPHEW WAS BORN EARLY ANS WAS IN TEXAS CHILDERNS FOR SIX WEEKS.MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AND BLESS YOU,
May 5th, 2009 at 8:51 am
He is beautiful! So much to be proud of and thankful for. God is Good!
May 5th, 2009 at 10:15 am
Sam is just precious! Am agreeing with you in prayer for your family. May God bless you all. He is faithful.
May 5th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
my daughter was born at northeast 3 months early weighing 2.4lbs and that was 10 months ago. she also came out crying. Shes progressing very well! and Sam looks very healthy for being premature! my prays are with the family and i know how hard it is not to have your little one with you.
May 5th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
that is so awesome that he is off of the ventilator. we are keeping him in our prayers.
May 5th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
I am so glad you shared pictures with the listeners. I also had my son early (34 weeks). We were actually told that we needed to terminate our pregnancy due to chromosome issues. We firmly told our doctor that the decision to terminate a pregnancy was not for us to make. While Brock was a preemie, he was born perfectly healthy. I pray that Sam will have a similar outcome and will live a very full life. You are blessed!
May 6th, 2009 at 5:24 am
Mike,
I listen to you and Susan every morning and you both are such an inspiration and a blessing. I am so thankful that Little Sam is doing well and pray that he will continue to grow and get stronger every day. Before long, he will be crawling around the house and keeping you all even busier. God Bless you and Becky and Abby-Grace and Sam. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers
May 6th, 2009 at 6:31 am
Oh, he is so precious! I see what you mean about his hands pulling at things. He wants all that off his face! I’m so happy he is off the respirator now and I pray that he will quickly get to where you can take him home. God bless you all.
May 6th, 2009 at 7:26 am
I am so happy for the Mike and his family. I am praying that mother and child continue to have a speedy recovery.
May 6th, 2009 at 7:33 am
I am praying for baby Sam and the whole Kankelfritz family.
May 6th, 2009 at 8:23 am
My son Graham was born 71/2 weeks early at Texas Children’s. He is now 20 years old and such a sweet, loving and caring young man attending college at A & M. I know that little Sam will grow up to be the same sweet, loving and caring young man because you and Becky have the love of Jesus Christ in your hearts. My prayers are with you as you go through each day with your sweet children Abby Grace and Sam. Bless you.
May 6th, 2009 at 11:41 am
Congratulations! God is so good. I know Becky is going to be SOOO ready to get out of the hospital. Sam will be fine and Abby Grace will absolutely LOVE her little brother. You’ll all look back on this and see living proof of God’s grace. He does love us so much. My “Tiny Miracle” Peyton will be Dedicated this Mother’s Day at New Hope Church. She started out at 2 pounds 2 ounces. She is another prayer answered! God Bless you all.

Mike & Becky, can’t wait to see him in person! I’m super jealous that my mom already saw him, but I plan on hogging him the first time y’all bring him to church. Everyone will have to line up behind me! Love y’all lots!
May 6th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
What a blessing! He is beautiful…and yes, a boy can be beautiful. My first son was born 7½ months, weighed 4 lbs 14 ozs, 18″ tall. Today, he is a beautiful young man, blessing me with my first….and second grandbabies! Twins!! My grandbabies, Kendall Paige, weighed 5 lbs 10 ozs, 18½” tall and her brother Luke Ray, weighed 4 lbs 9 ozs, 18″ tall were born April 6, 2009. What grand blessings in teeny, tiny packages. God bless you and your family.
May 7th, 2009 at 6:20 am
congratulation on your new baby Sam, he is god miracle. I will be praying for you and your family. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:44 am
He is precious, how blessed you are. My Sarah Marie was a 28 week premie, 2lbs 12oz. We were both really sick at the time and the docs said it was safer for both of us if she was delivered. She spent 6 weeks in the hospital, she was 4 lbs when she was released. I remember praying during delivery that if one of us could be saved let it be my baby girl. Once we were stable I had this sense of peace I could never explain, everyone kept asking how I could bo so calm, I just knew all would be OK. Sarah will be 13 this summer, you would never guess she was a premie by looking at her.
I really enjoy the morning show, thanks for all you do. Prayers for speedy recovery for both Becky and baby. Blessings and Hugs to you all!!!
May 7th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Mike and family,
i’ll add my prayers to those of all the many friends, family and listeners im sure are already praying for y’all and for baby samuel. he is such a beautiful little guy and a precious gift from GOD! i’m so happy for y’all and can’t wait to watch and see newer pics as he grows stronger and gets to come home with y’all!!

May 7th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Mike, Becky and Abby Grace you know nothing is too big for God, you will get through this in time. Stay strong, like you always have, I too am praying for your family. I have had many obstacles in my children’s life’s. I am a grandmother also, I take to heart every specials moments and pray through all the heartaches and try to get through them with help of family and friends and of course lots of prayer.
Mary
May 8th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
My prayers are with you Mike, Becky and Abby Grace. A special prayer for Abby Grace who I know in her own way she understands. Children are amazing. I know that Sam is here for a purpose and he will be going home soon.
God bless you all & Happy Mother’s Day Becky :-)
May 9th, 2009 at 6:17 am
I am so happy that baby Sam is doing ok.
May 12th, 2009 at 9:26 am
Praise God for baby Sam and his progress. We are all praying for his continued gain in strength, and that he will be a living testament to the glory and grace of God.
(we pray for Becky, Abby Grace and Mike, too. You guys must be incredibly fatigued!) Just know there’s a lot of love and concern in the greater community of believers, and we are hold ing you up.
May 13th, 2009 at 7:39 am
I had my daugher at 24 weeks, weight 1.8 lbs. I know how is like to go and visit your little one to the hospital. My daugher went to heart and eyes surgery and a bleeding to her head. Now Emma is going to be nine years old, third grade, a smart girl. To God be the Glory.
Mike, Sam is going to be ok, just keep on praying.
I have a Sammy two, a premie too, 33 weeks and 3.7 pounds at born.

We are going through the same thing in our church the pastor’s wife just gave birth a couple of
weeks ago to a little girl. We pray for her and now we are going to pray for you because you are not alone in this. GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR NEW FAMILY.
May 14th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Put it in God’s hands. My little nephew was like that too. He was 2 lbs and 2 oz. He was just like that. The doctors said that he wasn’t going to make it. But we believed in God, and now he is 5 years old, and just like a normal kid. May God Bless You & Your Family. You Are In My Prayers.
May 15th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
He is just beautiful. Congratulations Mike & Becky on such a handsome boy. God brought him into this world and I’m sure he has great and magnificent plans for him one day. Just think how happy your daughter will be to have him come home soon. Someone to evenutally share her toys with and play games with. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May God Bless you and your family and keep you all safe.
May 16th, 2009 at 7:38 am
Sam is the best,Gods help is in his little hands.Becky God has given you the the baby that blesses you.I hope you day is wounderful.GOD Bless you and I will keep you in my prayer.
May 17th, 2009 at 8:05 am
Mike and Becky, I thank God that Sam is here. My daughter was 1 lb 3oz at birth. She is blind, mentally challenge, development delayed, and non-verbal. She is loved daycare she attends, which I thank God for; she is loved by the members at my church, Friendship Community Bible Church in Sugar Land, and she is loved by the so many members in her on family. Everywhere she goes, she is loved. I came to realize that God give special partents special children to take care of. So we are very special in God’s eyes for allowing us to take care one of his very special children. I listen to you and Susan every morning on the way to work.
May 18th, 2009 at 9:32 am
Mike & Beky, my daughter was 3.10 lbs when she was born 4 years ago and you could not tell it today. She is so energetic, independent and sharp! It was very difficult for us as parents to see our little girl in the NICU every day, and some days not even be able to hold her, but God took great care of her, and helped her develop into a perfect little girl.
God is taking care of your sweet little boy and has great plans for him and your family. God bless you!!!
May 19th, 2009 at 9:48 am
Need new pic’s of Sam
May 19th, 2009 at 10:23 am
I have so enjoyed hearing the “Sam updates” each morning as I drive to work, and have been praying that he will continue to grow big and strong. I am a nurse in NICU 2 at TCH (just across the hall from Sam). Several of my colleagues and I have been praying for him…and anxiously awaiting his “graduation” to NICU 2. We look forward to watching him grow with you.
May God continue to bless your family!

I just wanted to say that My heart goes out to you both. It is hard have a premi at first but the children make up for it. Being a mother of five and having twin premi’s, I can understand some of the joy and happiness you have. Never let anything keep you down because it is all worth it. In Christ, Jenny
May 22nd, 2009 at 5:17 pm

May 30th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
I was a preemie 43 years ago-weighed 3 pounds. i consider myself a miracle and I know Sam has a special mission in life. I pray for you all daily. God Bless!!
June 1st, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Hi Mike and Susan. I love your show. Thanks for embrasing each of us in the morning with your love and humor. Thank you for also including us in your lives, though I know that has to be hard at times. I am praying for you all. Being pre-mature is not as scary as it use to be. I am sure Sam will do fine. I am raising twins that were early. They only weighed 2lbs. and 3lbs at birth. Michael had to have a little help,s he was the smallest. He is a 17 year old now. I know you probably hear a lot of these stories, but one of my Principal’s had a daughter, kind like your daughter, though I think she is more severe. She can’t do anything for herself, doesn’t show a whole lot of emotions, but they have loved her and taken care of her her whole life. About two years later they had another little girl who has been healthy and loving. The older little girl is in her forties I think. The youngest one just had a baby of her own. You and you wife are doing a great job. It isn’t easy I know, but you will truly be blessed. May God continue to watch over all of you. Thank you for being there to remind us that God is there and that there is hope. Love you guys. Judy
June 1st, 2009 at 5:58 pm

June 2nd, 2009 at 8:56 am
Hello Mike, walking into a NICU is a complete diffrent club. I remembered stepping in and seeing my tiny baby boy Zachariah. weighing 2pds 10oz I cound not not believe how perfect and complete he was. God has done great things but when you go home with him, he will just be a reminder on how GREAT GOD REALLY IS. Zach is now 6months and is 19pds. Take all of this and use it to help others and in a couple of months this will al be a story to reach others. God Bless you, your wife and baby Sam.
June 5th, 2009 at 7:37 am
Listening to KSBJ is my morning theraphy going to work and God has answered all of my prayers. I had two miscarriages before my oldest son whom I conceived for 6 months literally in bed. He is turning 20 in September. After him I had another miscarriage, so the fear of having another baby increased…BUT…my faith in God was stronger than the fear I was feeling. Now I have 4 healthy, beautiful children..20, 14, 9 and 6 years old. To Mike, Becky, Abby Grace and Sam…our Heavenly Father is always watching over you. Everything in life has a purpose and only HE knows the reason for these. Our GOD is an AWESOME GOD, a LOVING FATHER who will never let His children down. MY prayers are always with you…and to little Sam and I believe that you are strong, a great fighter because GOD is your stronghold and shield amidst all these trials. God bless you all.
June 5th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
God is an awesome God and he will take care of baby Sam. FYI… I was born when my Mom was in her sixth month on May 22 and her due date was the end of August at 1lb 13 ozs. I turned 46 years last month!! God Bless you all.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:08 pm

June 10th, 2009 at 12:04 pm

I know you’re probably feeling exhausted, but keep focused on the fact that the reward is worth the effort! My twin boys got out of The Woodlands NICU Easter weekend. They spent Lent in the NICU, having been born Ash Wednesday. They are such a joy to my heart and I know you feel the same about Sam. Enjoy the blessings and the adventure!

My Cousin had her baby a little around her 5 months of pregnacy during May 2008. She weighed 1 lb. 2 ounces. She had serious problems with her intestines and had been operated several times. Her mom (Irene) wanted to throw a big celebration for her 1st birthday but a couple days before her actual birthday she was taken to the ER for an infection. She has been in and out of the hospital and just recently got another operation. Please pray for Baby Ariana, her parents (Irene and Robert) and sibiling Noah as they are having a tough time right now. I will have all of you in my prayers. Thank you and God Bless you all!!

Some months ago, you said on the air that a friend had a dream you were going to have another baby. You asked callers to call in and tell of their dream experiences. I called in and said that I had not one, but 5 friends tell me they had a dream I was expecting. I tried to encouraged you that God was in control and knew what he was doing. We were on the air and so I gave you the nervous and short version. What I didn’t tell you was that … At first I thought it was funny. By the time friend #3 came around, I began to get real suspicious. By the time friend #5 came around, I said “Don’t tell me… you dreamed I was going to have a baby”. I didn’t tell anyone. But I was terrified, angry and hurt. My life was in the midst of the firy furnace and I did not think I could handle the blessing which was to come. I was angry mostly with God. He was my best friend and I didn’t understand how he would allow me to go through this, knowing how much turmoil I felt in my soul. Needless to say, by God’s grace, I have grown much. He taught me much through this experience. But what I wanted to say most is that the baby I was expecting, the baby that I thought I could not handle… God used him to bring me the joy I so needed, to get through the trials and struggles that I was facing.
Take joy and courage… God is with you always and in control. He will see you through the waters, the valley and guide you to the top of the mountain. I know your baby boy will be such a blessing in many ways. Praying always for you and all your family,
A faithful listener!

My middle son was 8 weeks early. He was on a ventialtor for 2 weeks, and died twice They told us he would be brain damaged, blind, CP, etc….well he is now 22 years old, and graduated from college with his Assocate’s in computer networking. He has a full time IT job, and is enrolled in a Bachelors program. He is neither blind, or brain damaged, and is perfectly healthy.

My granddaughter lives in San Antonio and called me to let me know about a new theme park that just opened in San Antonio just for special needs people. It is the only one like it in the world and it opened here in TX!!! It has a carosel, train, wheelchair swings all among other things. It is called Morgan’s Wonderland – after the owner’s daughter. It sounds truly awesome for our special needs kids. I have another granddaughter and a nephew that are special needs and am going to check it out further. God bless you.

Hi Mike,
I listen to KSBJ 89.3 every morning on my way to work and on my way back. I you said your daughter Abby Grace was diagnos of several conditions that requires attention. I absolutely believe that Abby could be healed. I belong to a ministry http://www.christembassy.org and the man of God has a healing ministry…go to http://www.enterthehealingschool.org . His name is Pastor Chris, he will be in Houston from 3rd -5th of September 2010. I have a book i want to send to you free from pastor chris on healing. This book will increase your faith to believe in Abby’s healing. I am very positive come september 2010, Abby will get up, run into your arms and be like every other children her age. I need your postal address to send the book.
Please visit those websites.
Thank you and God bless you and your family. Also my regards to Susan, you two are awesome.

Hi my name is Gláucio.
I live in a city in Brazil called Altônia is the state of Parana, I was seeing some good things on the internet and saw the boy’s menssagem Logan.
Get more delighted, thrilled with such wisdom, perhaps by the age of Logan for a lesson to us through many here in Brazil.
I believe that God used this guy to give us a valuable lesson in life, and I will carry throughout my life where I am now here are 2:30 am
That anyone reading this menssagem intende that even at a distance as great as that God makes changes that change the life of any person.
God bless you all and that from today my life I’ll look at it another way
Thank Logan
