Timothy James

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.

Urgent Prayer Request: Timothy seems to have caught a cold over the holiday weekend. Right now he just has regular cold symptoms - runny nose, fever, cough, etc. - but as we all know he is at greater risk for developing a secondary infection which could land him back in the hospital. He is requiring a little more oxygen than usual as a result of the symptoms.

Please pray with us that this would be able to be treated at home; that mommy, daddy, and the nurses would have wisdom about how to treat it; and that God would heal him quickly before it turns into something worse.
