Please pray for this sweet Bird

Jessica home with Alex , but he is experiencing post-operative pain. I asked her if I could do a post asking for prayer for him, and she said I could.

If you follow Alex's blog, you also know that Jessica is near the end of her pregnancy with Alex's baby ~~sister~~ sibling. (Just teasing, Jessica.) She must be exhausted, physically and emotionally. Please join me in praying for relief from pain for Alex, and for restful sleep for both of them tonight.

When I first tried to post, I had thought he had needed to remain in the hospital, but thank God, he was well enough to go home. There is just NO place like home.

I'll be praying for your little Bird, Jessica. You get some sleep!

the beginning of mallorie rose's story

In October 2006, we went for an ultrasound for our fifth child, and were told that our daughter probably had a chromosomal defect. We were urged to get an amniocentesis so that genetic testing could be done, “so the doctors will know what decisions to make.” The specialist told us that he suspected Trisomy 13 or 18, and if he was correct, then no OB would do a c-section because it wouldn’t make a difference for the end outcome. Besides, no surgeon would operate on her back (she had a meningocele – spina bifida), because “Trisomy 18 and 13 are what are called lethal conditions. They are incompatible with life.”

That’s how our story with her began, but it is most certainly not the end. As her amazing pediatrician said about examining her at birth, “I looked into her eyes, and she looked back at me and said, I’m here for the long haul, chick.”
