This is the first time in a long while that I am posting an original post. I have periodically responded to posts, but have been a very active "lurker" for a long time. I hope I'm posting this correctly.

I have often read an said prayers in in response to the PRAYER REQUESTS and I can't believe I am doing this but, here goes: My son was born two days ago, his name is Daniel Patrick and he is 7 pounds, 11 ounces, 21 inches long. My wife and have another child and she is five years old.

My son has been in the natal intensive care unit since birth due to very little activity- responses in his arms and legs, and he doesn't show hunger to date. There is no general term for his condition other than "floppy baby" syndrom which is an apt term in my view but hurts to say.

I have been asking the doctors lots of questions but they will not or can not give any prognosis, or idea since from one has told me- this condition in newborns has the greatest range of possibilities. He is having a spinal tap shortly and we are all praying hard for him.

Last year my daughter prayed to God in church for a baby brother and I had her say a prayer the other night with me thanking God for giving him to us (she isn't allowed to see him yet, though-as per the intensive care unit). She did and we are all very thankful. I am a big believer in prayer and prayer groups and ask all who have done for so many here to do so for our little Danny.

I will keep you posted, but I'm off to the hospital now.

Thank you!!!!!!

May the LORD Jesus Christ strengthen this precious life Daniel and the family and give wisdom to the doctors and nurses tending to his medical needs.

Please keep us informed! Did he receive any vaccinations yet? This might be the problem.
