Prayer Request

This is an urgent prayer request for my sister Lisa and her baby Grady. They are on the way to the hospital right now to have a C-section at just 33.5 weeks. Her amniotic fluid is too low and the baby's environment has deteriorated, so they have to take him now. Lisa did have the steroid injections last week to mature his lungs more quickly "just in case" and "in case" has happened.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers this week as Lisa recovers and as little Grady gets an unexpectedly early start in life. I will keep you all posted.

Thanks in advance for your prayers!

Please do keep us updated! They are definitely in our prayers. I'm at almost 38 weeks along with baby #2, so my heart goes out for them - you do everything humanly possible to give those little ones a great start. God is watching over them and will give them strength!

I should have said earlier that Oct 19 is a splendid day to be born on--it's my husband's birthday!

Hope all is well with your sister in law and little Grady. My great niece was born at 28 week 2.5 lbs and is home and healthy now. Medicine has come a long way now.
