Hey guys,

Just a brief prayer request... a family we know not that well, but well enough, needs some prayer. She was pregnant with, I think their third child, and last weekend the baby was born and he had ancephaly - no brain. It's been very hard for them and yesterday the baby died, which actually might be kind of merciful. Sometimes babies with that disorder live for weeks or even months but it's got to be so hard on the family.

Also apparently it's very important to take folic acid before you even become pregnant, it drops the likelihood of that or spina bifida... anyway, just remember them if you would.
