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.
Prayers for Ada, may she be able to join her family at home very soon.
Psalm 139:13-16, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
Lord Jesus,
You are the great Physician and Healer
And You Yourself came down from the endless bliss of heaven, to earth ---
And experienced weakness, suffering, injury and pain and death
For our sakes.
Please now extend your gentle hand
And save this baby girl whom You brought into this world
Because You love her. Amen.
Thank you for your prayers.

We would appreciate an update sometime, Mountain Mama. I'm expecting good things for baby Ada and her family! Bless you, MM!
I have saved everyone's name that replied to the thread. I will update as I get information. I am going up there early next week and hope to drop off a card with some gas money to their family. I will be away from my computer for a few days, but will hopefully have some uplifting news when I get back on Wed/Thurs. Thank you for the prayers.
Thank you, MM! I'll keep my prayers going up for all concerned.:)
Prayers on the way for Ada.
