Friend update...

I wanted to give an update on my good friend that I asked prayer for earlier. She did indeed have her baby last Thursday. A little boy, 7 lbs and 15 oz. The c-section was very hard on mama. The baby was born crying and using his little lungs. He also ate from a bottle shortly after birth. An ultrasound has confirmed what the ultra sound in utero saw. Pretty much a situation that historically has not been compatible with life. The family came home from the hospital on Sunday, providing comfort measures to the baby. Yesterday though, I talked to grandma of the baby and they said at that point the baby seemed to be gaining strength. He went through a spell where I guess his temps were dropping and he seemed pretty weak, but apparently he has bounced back from that point. I saw a glimmer of hope in grandma's eyes yesterday, although I know they are still fully aware of the possibilities. But you know, God performs miracles every day. Really it is miracle that this baby even made it through delivery. Would you please pray that God will continue the miracle in this little guy. My heart aches for them and I deeply want to see this little baby make it through these incredible obstacles. God is the only way that will happen. Thank you so much!
