Father have mercy.
What a struggle, poor Gracie. Prayers continue for this brave young lady and her baby. God bless.
If two or more are gathered in my name.........Still praying.
UPDATE from Gracie’s parents-
Yesterday was Gracie’s best day to date. Our biggest concerns were the fact there has been no change in pain and swelling...fluid in lungs and swelling in thighs, knees and feet have built back up again. However, the pain is being much better managed now than before except for some reason when she sleeps any length of time the pain gets away from her.
Good news- Her BP numbers are coming down and the ketones are getting smaller too and we are hoping they move her out of triage soon.
She is at risk for blood clots and pneumonia but we are thankful to say the baby is doing well. Thanks so much for the continued prayers!
>>She is very weak and cannot stand on her own BUT the infection is getting better thank God!...now we need the swelling to disappear.<<
I am NOT being cynical when I say this is a “Jesus take the wheel” moment. When Man has done all he can — and the Bible is clear we have to do all we can within our limitations — then it is in the hands of the Lord.
I think having a lot of people praying helps a lot. When I needed comfort for loved ones ill and passing to God’s side the fact I had the FR family praying with and for me made a huge difference.
So, Lord, one last push to get our sister well and for strength and peace and a small corner of rest for the family.

The swelling from a bad infection like that takes a LONG time to go down.
