I am posting on behalf of my brother-in-law, who is a VietNam Vet. His great nephew,Cooper Hawk is in need of a miracle. I told him and my sister Bernie, Miracles happen at Free Republic.
Little Cooper's parents are Alfred and Holly. Holly found out only three weeks before Cooper was borne all the problems he had. Being a good young woman, she left this to God and against her doctor's advice still brought little Cooper in this world.
Cooper's problems are so severe, where they lived in Florida, the only place with the machine Cooper needed to survive, called an ECMO machine, was located in Gainesville. So the parents alternate at the Ronald McDonald House, in order to be with Cooper at all times.
Cooper has spent his life since he was born September 17th, in ICU- NeoNatal. In two months Cooper has undergone such an enormous amount of procedures and surgery. The following are little Cooper's problems, that are so much for him and his parents to bear.
Cooper was born with DH (diaphragm hernia), his intestines were all pushed up into his lung and of course he couldn't breath properly. They did not even know if Cooper even 'had' a right lung. For the one lung was underdeveloped. The good news is, Cooper survived this surgery to correct the intestinal problem.
He has always been on a ventilator and medicated to keep him sedate, for too much upset would be problematic. He has a feeding tube naturally for digestion.
Cooper has a bone in his neck that is soft and a cleft palate. They do not know yet how deep this palate goes. He has a whole in his little heart and the ECMO recycles blood by-products for him.
Cooper is now two months old and weighs 8 lbs. 1 ounce. The prayers we are asking for today are for the fact Cooper has developed a blood infection and this is very dire.
I asked my sister Bernie, what prayers should I ask for.(They have some prayer chains going down there). I asked is it for Cooper to be home with his young parents for the Holidays.
What Bernie said to me ( she visits Cooper and cares for his five year old brother), Just please pray 'for' Cooper to live.
So here I am fellow friends, Christians and Freepers. Please pray for a miracle for Cooper, his is in such dire straits, no human, let alone a little guy should be born with all the odds against him as this.
Also please pray for his Mom Holly, who is going through her doubts in God, to feel filled with God's love and know He will provide the best for this little boy.

This is a heartbreaking one Piper. My heart goes out to this family. I will do as she asked and ask that God intervene and allow this little one to live. His parents were brave enough to make the decision against medical advice to bring him into this world, so we need to ask God to bless their decision.
A dear friend of mine had a baby with similiar problems years ago, and today she is a healthy young lady, so God can do miracles. With all of us joining together to pray for this precious little one miracles are possible!

Oh Father God, we humbly come before you, yet again with urgent prayers for one of Your little ones. Lord, Cooper needs You to put Your hand on his body and heal it, 100%. He's just a little one, and he's gone through so much.
Please, Lord, cleanse Cooper's blood. Make it whole again. Make it well.
And Father, we ask for Holly, that she NOT wonder if You're there with her child. Please show yourself to her in ways that she won't have one small doubt left.
Oh Lord, there's so many children hurting. Please, hear our prayer. Please heal those babies.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Heavenly Father,
We are grateful, Father, for the loving heart of this mother who chose to be the handmaiden of the Lord, to give this boy the opportunity to live the challenging life which for some reason the Lord had planned for him.
Father, we are mindful of the time the Lord healed the blind man and the disciples asked if the parents sinned, thereby causing the condition of blindness in their child. His answer was basically that he was born blind in order to be healed by Jesus and by that, being a living testimony to the power of God and His plan.
Father, we affirm your Plans for this boy. We call forth your healing miracles, and call for the shattering of any and all opposition to his being able to fulfill the assignments which you have for him. We call forth healing and comfort angels to help him bear the challenges. We call forth healing and comfort angels for his mother and loved ones during the stressful times. Father, grant all of them abiding peace and joy and unbreakable faith during their trials.
Father, we are grateful for your love. We are grateful for your healing hands and heart working through the doctors, nurses, and medical professionals. Bless those who are ministering to this boy with wisdom and insight as to how best to guide his body to wholeness. Guide them. Let any and all surgeries, medications, treatments, and therapies be 100% effective with no or minimal adverse side effects.
Father, let only your Will be done. Let this also be done for any and all who are in a similar situation.
Amen

Thank you for the ping, Dubya.
Piper, my heart goes out to this little one.
May God cradle him in His arms and give Him the strength to keep fighting.
May the Lord bless his family. I know the pain of their suffering.

I'll put a link on Logan's Miracle Room.

"but I sincerely am trying to understand the rationale behind a second or third prayer on the same subject." Please open your Bible, then open your heart to the Word of God.
I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you in your quest.
