Prayer Request for a Tiny Angel

July 16th, 2004 | M0sby

[M0sby]

I am PINGING you all tonight because we have had a tragedy in our family today.

 

My little sister (Renee, 33) and her husband (Kirk, 39) were expecting their first child today.  Renee was induced this morning at a hospital in Grand Rapids, MI.  She was having normal contractions for about three hours and then after her water was broken she began to bleed heavily.  She was rushed in for an emergency C-Section and although the baby was delivered within 4 minutes she had lost too much blood for them to revive her.

My niece, little Samantha Sangsland is now in heaven and my sister and her husband are without the baby they have been proudly waiting to bring home.

Renee and Kirk are very faithful Christians and have much support from their church but I would like to ask for you all to please pray for them tonight and in the coming weeks as they plan a funeral to bury their first-born.

 

I am not able to comprehend this at the moment as I am too sad to be very coherent.  I will be flying out to be with them in the next few days and just cannot imagine what they are facing.  I cannot even imagine being able to even breathe, much less function.

 

We have been really busy around here, enjoying having our family back together after Dan's return from overseas and as such I have been very tardy in getting the latest prayer requests together for Logan's Miracle Room.  I apologize, and ask for you to please include us in your prayers.

 

It is kind of late for me to be putting this thread up, so I won't be able to respond very quickly, but I wanted to get the request up ASAP.

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

My heart goes out to your family, M0sby!! To go from the joyous expectation of a new baby to the tragic loss of that dear one must be absolutely crushing. May God reach out and wrap His loving arms around Renee, Kirk, and all your family! May they find the strength, the faith, and the hope to come to terms with this deep sadness.

I pray also for safe traveling for you. May God bless you and strengthen you as you comfort your sister.
