Volunteer Mom, Sarah Doyle

One of our volunteer moms posted this to our online group. As she is recovering and healing she needs as many prayers as she can get. Thank you for praying for Sarah, she is a wonderful amazing mom in need of many prayers.


So I just woke up...in a hospital bed! Happy mothers day wkd-I had a seizure and mild heart attack and my mom found me passed out-I will be here for awhile, I have been diagnosed with eclampsia-had my mom not found me when she did I wouldn't be here to write this! It' tried to kill mr while pregnant and eclampsia is what sets in afterwards-trying to kill me now. I didnt feel right since having the twins but just didnt bother with it thought 2 pregnancies in one yr just hit me hard. I never stopped bleeding from it either, so they have me going in tomorrow to have the piece of my placenta removed that is causing it all. Really im in shock I cant believe this happened to me! Im ok for now thank god it could have been worse and may get that way. My mom called 911 and she brought my laptop knowing I need love and support-from you guys! (From Sarah Doyle)

Please keep Lisa in your prayers, she has carried her baby full term and has just found out due to her heart condition the baby will not survive.

Prayers For Caylin

Caylin is a preemie who needs your prayers today. She is in the NICU and is only 6 weeks old. She has come down with pneumonia. As you can imagine this is very very dangerous for her. Please pray intently today at some point for this mother and her daughter. Thank you so much. Please pass this along to anyone who may join us in prayer.

Lilly

Lilly was born prematurely and had a tracheotomy. She is now undergoing a surgery to remove it and to close the hole. These surgeries will cause her and her family to be in the hospital for 2-3 months. Please keep Lilly in your prayers.

UPDATE 4/4-Lilly had her first of many surgeries yesterday. She really needs our prayers. Here is a status update from a friend "Update on Miss Lily. Please continue to keep Lily in your prayers. She had a rough night. Her blood pressure and heart rate keep dropping. She is having problems keeping her airway clear and her sats keep dropping really low. She is not peeing and is starting to swell. They also think one of her lungs collapsed from where they took rib cartilage out to do the reconstruction"

Could everyone be sure to say a little prayer for Anquan, yesterday they had to airlift him to childrens and he is on a venilator they are thinking he has Pneumonia ~(From his Mom)

He is 6 months old. 

Two Moms In Need Of Prayer

Two very special moms are in need of prayers, please. Maria is carrying a baby (James) with what is expected to be a fatal condition (OI2). The other mom is carrying conjoined twins who cannot be separated. Breathtakingly difficult situations, both moms need lots of prayer support. 

Chris Charles     A mother’s love is something That no one can explain, It is made of deep devotion And of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfish And enduring come what may For nothing can destroy it Or take that love away… It is patient and forgiving When all others are forsaking. And it never fails or falters Even though the heart is breaking… It believes beyond believing When the world around condemns, And it glows with all the beauty Of the rarest, brightest gems… It is far beyond defining. It defies all explanation, And it still remains a secret Like the mysteries of Creation… A many splendored miracle Man cannot understand And another wondrous evidence of God’s tender guiding hand.

Pray for Preemie Kennedi Zahar

Kennedi Zahar was born at 24 weeks gestation at 1lb 10oz. She is now 34 weeks old and 5lb 1oz; she is still in the NICU in SC. It is about 1hr and 15min from where I live. I'm so proud of her because she is fighting this fight mostly without my presence, I can only afford to see her 2x a week. So please pray for her continued success and that she will be able to come home soon. About her name: The morning I gave birth to Kennedi I went online looking for names for her, because her dad and I had not decided on a middle name yet we only had Kennedi. I typed in baby girl names and instead of starting under the "A" like usual I started at "Z". There was the name Zahar it meant "small blessing" when I saw that I had to make that her name. Kennedi Zahar, for she is our "Small Blessing" Thank you for your prayers, Coffei Update: Kennedi has passed her car seat test and will be coming home soon! God is good. I have been in awe of Kennedi's mom this entire time as she has been driving back and forth to the hospital and only getting to spend a few days a week with her little girl. I am so happy she will have her home soon.

Pray for Preemie Alicia

Alicia is currently in a NICU getting stronger every day. When I asked her mom what she would specifically like us to pray for she said, "I am worried about Alicia's growth. She seems to have hit a spot where she is staying steady but not going up" So please keep that request in mind for little Alicia.

Alicia also has a new cousin who was born premature.

Baby Coltyn

My son, Coltyn, was born at 31 weeks. He was 2 lbs 15 oz and on Friday at 7 weeks old, he had to be revived and life flighted to Temple. Please pray for his recovery!

Baby Noah

Baby Noah is micro preemie born at 24 weeks. He continues his fight in a Texas NICU. He is up and down, good days and bad days, but he is a strong fighter! Please keep him in your preemie prayers as he grows and gets stronger.

Update: 4/16 Noah is getting stronger each day! He took his first bottle today as well. God bless him and his family as they continue their journey.

Baby Rhonda

Rhonda is a preemie who was born on Christmas Eve at only 24 weeks. She is still on oxygen and has a feeding tube. She is up to 5lbs and 5.5oz though which is a wonderful thing to see her growing. She has been in the NICU for almost 3 months. Please pray for her and her families strength as they continue down this long road. 

Baby Joaquin

UPDATE 3/28 (From his mom)
Joaquin started having issues with his oxygen and
his heart rate earlier in the day yesterday. His hemoglobin levels
were low so they thought this was the cause of all his issues. He
received a blood transfusion at 1:30 pm and he was still having the
oxygen and HR episodes throughout it. His oxygen levels dropped down
to 40 which is not normal for him at all and his blood oxygen gas was
very elevated so the doctor decided to put him back on the vent and
start him on antibiotics.

Please pray for preemie Joaquin who was born at only 25 weeks. This is his mom's second time in the NICU. He has had his ups and downs but is fighting everyday. Today he developed an infection, so prayers are really needed to pull him through. His mom sent a picture to post along with the prayer request. May God bless him and his family.

Baby Olivia

She was born at 28 weeks and was a true fighter. I met her mom through our national NICU mom group and we messaged often. Her mom was full of strength even in her most recent message to me amidst her devastation. They will always be a part of our Preemie Prints family and I ask that you keep little Livie and her family in your deepest prayers. God bless them all. I have to say that she is one of the most adorable baby angels I've ever seen.

When I asked her mom a week ago to send me her prayer request this is what she wanted me to add:
"Oh yes please add us...what a blessing! I would like prayers for Olivia Grace's health, for the Vassar NICU Team, and all the families with premature babies that they have all that they need to get through this hard time..."

"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit."
