Urgent prayers needed -UPDATE

"Psalm 34" Number of posts : 54431 Mood :

A very dear friend (who is also my church's Assitant Pastor's wife) is in need of many prayers. Her name is Monica . . . . . Monica is expecting a baby, and is about 32 weeks along. She's been having a lot of trouble with her health (especially her blood pressure) during the pregnancy, and was put on bed rest on Monday. This afternoon, she was taken to a small local hospital for an ultrasound, during which there was an "abnormality" found in the umbilical cord. Monica was taken to Devos Children's Hospital, with Preeclampsia. Right now things aren't looking good for her or her baby. Please keep them both in prayer. And Monica's parents, as well - who live hundreds of miles away.
The doctors have said that it's a grave situation, but God is the Great Physician! And I know He answers prayers.

Your friend, her baby and family are all in my thoughts and prayers. I hope everything works out. I can relate to the fear she may be going through, though not as serious, Devin was born 2 months premature because my water broke early, luckily all went well though. I believe the power of prayer was a huge factor. We had prayer chains going on from just about everyone we know.

Prayers for Monica and her unborn child. I would think they could go ahead and take the baby at 32 weeks.........I hope they doctors make the right decision, but it is in God's hands....

The baby's lungs aren't able to function yet. They did some tests on her, and the tests came back saying that her little lungs aren't ready for birth yet. But they may take her tonight, anyway, and work with what they have. They can't let things go on much longer.

This is terrible. My SIL went thru allmost the same thing a few months ago. Very scarey. Blue

My thoughts and prayers are with Monica and her family.

I had a cousin who had the same problem, but she could have her baby O.K. Sure that Monica will have my prayers.

Awww, they continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Devin had to be put on a vent for the first 24 hours, because his lungs weren't ready yet. They gave him something, I think called surfactant (not sure on the spelling), but it was like a miracle drug and soon he was able to breathe on his own.

I just got word a few minutes ago about Monica's progress. The update is wonderful news!! The doctors had prepared the family for the worst, because things were looking so bad, when suddenly, everything turned around. The abnormality is gone from the umbilecal cord, Monica's blood pressure is stable again, and down to near enough normal that she's HOME - and the baby is still where she should be for now . . . safely in Momma! THANK YOU for your prayers! And praise the Lord for beautiful answers!
