Prayer

I know for a fact that the reason Elijah has done so well through all of his medical junk and his surgeries is because he has had about a thousand people praying for him. He received huge amounts of prayer even when he was the size of a peanut in my belly. One of the things I have learned so far in this journey is that PRAYER WORKS. Sooo....

We seem to know a lot of people right now who are in serious need of serious prayer. I'd like to ask all of you to help out by sending up a few prayers for Madeline, who has been through more than everyone in the states of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin combined. She needs a new heart, but just recently got bumped off the transplant list because the rest of her problems are becoming quite serious. She's in a critical state right now. She's back on the evil ECMO machine for the third time in five months. Her dad wrote on her website this morning, "Few expected Madeline to make it through the night, but she did."

Another cute baby who I check in on regularly, Baby Isaac, has to go in for an unexpected open heart surgery next week. I cannot imagine having a week to emotionally prepare for an OHS, so please say some prayers for Isaac AND his sweet family.

And then there's Baby Kate, who has spent 120 out of the last 168 days in the hospital. The doctors don't know exactly what to think because her health has been like a rollercoaster since her last OHS.

All of these babies have parents who are AMAZING and who have gone through A WHOLE LOT, like, more than I can ever fathom. Please pray for them and tell your friends to pray for them, too. THANK YOU.
