***UPDATE***

Baby Ben passed away early this afternoon. Please continue to pray for the family!

***UPDATE***

3:00 PM - 11-9-2009

The mom is still in ICU, but was sitting up in a chair for visitors today. The Dad has not slept (understandably so) since things started happening yesterday. They have family surrounding them right now. And can use lots of prayer.

Ben, the surviving baby, is also in critical condition. Pray for his blood pressure to rise so that his kidneys will begin functioning. Functioning kidneys are critical to the baby’s survival. They are asking for a “BIG miracle.” Pray for Paul and Katrina that God will give them His peace and strength to make it through these difficult days.

***ORIGINAL POST***

I have a prayer request that I'd like for you to lift up tonight. A couple that goes to our church has been expecting with twins. Corbett and I visited with them a couple of times, as one of the twins was small. Another church member led us to them to share our thoughts, prayers, and experiences with them.

This mother was admitted on Wednesday to the hospital after a routine OB visit. They thought they would have to take the babies then, but they held off. However, today, we learned that the smaller baby passed away - and then they immediately delivered the other baby. This baby is 26 weeks gestation and weighed 2 lbs 4 oz. We don't know any other information than that on the baby, other than it is doing okay at this time.

We also heard that the mother is not doing well. She is in need of a liver transplant and is not recovering well. She is stable at this time, though.

My heart is heavy tonight for this family. If you would... please lift them up to God for comfort, healing, and that they may feel a blanket of encouragement through these prayers!

Thanks,

Jana
