Prayer request for Sara Grace (a preemie)

myself | 08/26/03 | TejasRose

[TejasRose]

I would like to ask all of you to pray for my friend, Marijon's granddaughter. Her name is Sara Grace. She was born on June 6, 2003, 3 months early. She weighed 1 pound 6 ounces at birth. She has been in neonatal ICU since that time. At 2 weeks of age, she had to have a colostomy for perforated bowel. As you can imagine, she has had ups and downs, but as of last week was weighing a whopping 4 pounds! Last Thursday, they did surgery on her to re-connect her colostomy. On Sunday, she developed an infection, and on Monday her heart stopped beating, and she stopped breathing. They got her heart beating again, and she is now on a vent. The doctors say they think it was the infection that caused her heart to stop, but thus far, they have not been able able to determine the type of infection, although they know it's bacterial. She is on two different kinds of antibiotics, and today, 24 hours later, she is trying to breathe on her own, and they are trying to wean her off the vent. The doctors say the next 24 hours will be most critical. I would appreciate the prayers of all you prayer warriors for this precious little girl.

I have a picture of Sara Grace, but I am too technically challenged to know how to post it! Would one of you untechnically challenged freepers freepmail me so I can send you her picture to post? Thanks! :-)

I apologize if this gets posted twice, but I want you to know that my wife and I will pray for Sara and her parents.

Sara will come through this. Stay by her side always.

The Lord has her in his hands. I know this because the power of prayer helped my wife and I go through the same ordeal.

My son Ryan was born 2lbs at 28wks gestation. He endured several operations to correct a triple hernia, pneumothorax, and perforated bowel. He was on a ventilator for a long period. 3 months later we took him home. All along the doctors were preparing us for the worst. We never gave up faith. It was the prayers and well wishes of friends and family and the good doctors at Lenox Hill in NYC that helped us get through and Ryan survive.

Ryan is now 9yrs old at the top of his class academically and a star hockey player. Sara will be just fine. Keep the faith!

O.K sounds like a plan, Shall we say the same place, around 9:00-9:30am?

As for me I've always been where I am now, it's just that every once in a while, I think some freepers need to take a brief hiatus, you know, just to recharge the old batteries.

Here is the coding you would need for posting a picture (you will need to take out the spacing to make it work.)

Well look at that, TR...she's WAVING AT YOU!!!!

Father God, please place your healing hand on this precious baby. We've all watched in absolute awe, the miracle called Logan, and all that you've done for him. Please, Lord, heal Sara in the same way. Please give her family peace. We pray that you guide the hands of the medical profession that is watching over her. In Jesus' Holy Name, Amen!

[DLfromthedesert]

Prayers for Sara Grace. I've seen many babies go through these crises, and most get better quickly as they respond to the antibiotics, and get better rather quickly. I pray that Sara Grace will be home with her family soon, and continue to prosper.
