Prayers

Prayers would be appreciated for Nancy Campbell's daughter, Serene & family. Here is a post that was written in the Above Rubies e-group. I figure it can't hurt to post about it so that more warriors are praying!

I've been talking to Pearl this morning and everything is pretty busy in TN right now....so she asked me to post this to the group. Serene delivered Shepherd Collin last night at 5:50. He was born 7 weeks early *BUT* he weighed 5'11"!! Wow, if she'd gone full term he would have been at least 10 lbs!! He was breathing on his own at birth but was struggling enough that they took him to NICU. They have started him on antibiotics and he's on 30% oxygen right now. Serene is unable to nurse him yet (he's not able to suck and breathe at the same time). She's pumping and will begin nursing as soon as he's able. He will be in NICU for at least 10 days (b/c of the antibiotics).How to pray?? Pray for peace for Serene. Pray for Sam as he's (I'm sure) going back and forth between hospital and 10 children at home. Pray the Serene will be able to find somewhere to stay close to the hospital (or a room in the hospital) once she's released tomorrow. Pray for cooperative doctors that will do everything THEY can to help her nurse asap. Pray that Shepherd will be able to go home as soon as he's done this round of antibiotics. Pray for Nancy and Collin--their children from Liberia arrived Monday night and they are all leaving today for a family camp in WI this weekend. Pray for Nancy and Collin as they minister this weekend.I think that's all I know. If I learn more I'll pass it along.

Thanks for letting us know. That sure is a big baby for being born so early. Praise God he is well.

Sounds like he is doing good for being born that early. Also, I love the name Shepherd.
