A New Request

I had a number of thoughts today as I watched my four beautiful children -- one happily snoozing in his MamaRoo, and other three coloring -- and I want to share them at some point, but tonight I have a singular purpose for posting. Tonight I'm asking you to pray for not only my sweet boy, but for a friend of Adam's from high school who's going through a trying, challenging experience of her own.

Katy went into labor Sunday night, but failed to progress after several days. She finally had an emergency c-section Wednesday after spiking a high fever, and gave birth to baby girl M, who wasn't breathing. Katy is in one hospital, dealing with what turned out to be an e.coli infection, while baby M is in the NICU at CHO. At first, the doctors thought that baby M would die, and then they said she might live, but would be brain-dead. As of now, she's responsive, but they don't know the extent of the damage from the infection and oxygen deprivation. I'm asking all of you to please, please lift up Katy, baby M and their family as they suffer through this uncertain time. I ask you to pray for a speedy recovery for Katy, and for health for baby M. Katy has been a big blessing to me in particular as we've gone through our journey with Logan, often asking how he's doing and what she can do to help.

Thank you all for your continued prayers. Have a great weekend.
