Timothy James

"Precious to God"


 

I was admitted to the hospital on Dec. 8th because my amniotic sac was leaking and I had begun to dilate. I was ordered to lie flat on my back until the baby came ( I was due April 2nd!). Well, on Dec. 17th my water broke at 7:15pm and Timothy James decided to come early. He was breech and already on his way out, so the doctor did an emergency C-section and at 10:20 pm he was delivered. He went straight to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and has been there ever since. Timothy was only 25 weeks along in his development (a "normal" pregnancy lasts 40 weeks) so he still has a lot of growing to do.

Prayer: Timothy is having trouble maintaining his platelet count (platelets are important for blood clotting). Please pray that he will begin creating his own and be able to maintain an acceptable level.

Timothy is currently undergoing treatment for a yeast infection. This treatment will last 4-6 weeks. He is resting comfortably, but he still needs prayer for the development of his lungs.
