A few days ago, I requested prayers through FReepmail for my friend's baby. Upon reading baby Ada's update today, I knew that I needed to go bigger, she needs all the prayers she can get. Ada was born April 26 and wasn't doing well. She was taken to Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh where the diagnosis was that her heart did not develop with the rest of her body. Ada was supposed to undergo surgery today but the doctor thought it was too risky. They believe that she may need a heart transplant instead.
Ada's mom was my assistant coach and a close friend while I was teaching. Even though I moved to another state, we still keep in touch and arrange visits to catch up. Their family is a wonderful, Christian family that has already suffered their share of heartache. A couple of years ago, my friend's sister was killed in a car accident approx. 10 days before her wedding. My friend and her husband have two other children. She has been having to drive 2 hours each way to the hospital daily to see Ada. The hospital doesn't have any beds for her right now.
Please pray for this family and little Ada and for the family that could possibly save her life through their tragic loss.
Please continue to keep us updated on the baby's condition. Continued prayers for her.
Still praying for little Ada, her loved ones,the doctors, and the whole situation.
Not callous, I think it might comfort a family imo.
Thank you for the update. Prayer bump for Ada and her Mommy and Daddy.
God bless you all. Prayers to your family.
Prayers again that Ada will soon be able to go home and join her family.
I pray that little Ada gets a chance at precious life with a brave heart.
God Bless this family. Our prayers continue for this little one.

Adding my continued fervent supplications to the Father...
Continued prayers for baby Ada. May the Good Lord give her strength to persevere and grace to heal.

Father,
You who are Almighty and infinite, You who are worthy to be praised in the highest, hear our prayer for baby Ada and family. Send the Comforter to heal every aspect of Ada's life and situation, Lord. We pray for a miracle for this family, Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son and our Savior. Amen!
prayer bump!
I have great news!!! I got a card from Ada's mom, Ada received a heart on 6/4/06 and is doing very well!!! She said to please pass on her most heartfelt thank you for all of the prayers. She knows that you all helped so much, and they meant so much to her family. She knows that Ada is in God's plans and Hands.
Heavenly Father, we come to You on our knees offering sincere thanks that this was Your Will. We thank You for providing a heart for Ada. We ask that You continue to be with Ada as she heals. We also pray that you comfort the family that, even through their dark times, were able to open their hearts and give this precious gift through their loss. In Your name go the glory. Amen
