Urgent Prayers Needed For Little Baby Boy Cooper
Prayer Request ^ | 11-22-03 | N/A

Posted on 11/22/2003 4:21:25 PM PST by JustPiper

I am posting on behalf of my brother-in-law, who is a VietNam Vet. His great nephew,Cooper Hawk is in need of a miracle. I told him and my sister Bernie, Miracles happen at Free Republic.

Little Cooper's parents are Alfred and Holly. Holly found out only three weeks before Cooper was borne all the problems he had. Being a good young woman, she left this to God and against her doctor's advice still brought little Cooper in this world.

Cooper's problems are so severe, where they lived in Florida, the only place with the machine Cooper needed to survive, called an ECMO machine, was located in Gainesville. So the parents alternate at the Ronald McDonald House, in order to be with Cooper at all times.

Cooper has spent his life since he was born September 17th, in ICU- NeoNatal. In two months Cooper has undergone such an enormous amount of procedures and surgery. The following are little Cooper's problems, that are so much for him and his parents to bear.

Cooper was born with DH (diaphragm hernia), his intestines were all pushed up into his lung and of course he couldn't breath properly. They did not even know if Cooper even 'had' a right lung. For the one lung was underdeveloped. The good news is, Cooper survived this surgery to correct the intestinal problem.

He has always been on a ventilator and medicated to keep him sedate, for too much upset would be problematic. He has a feeding tube naturally for digestion.

Cooper has a bone in his neck that is soft and a cleft palate. They do not know yet how deep this palate goes. He has a whole in his little heart and the ECMO recycles blood by-products for him.

Cooper is now two months old and weighs 8 lbs. 1 ounce. The prayers we are asking for today are for the fact Cooper has developed a blood infection and this is very dire.

I asked my sister Bernie, what prayers should I ask for.(They have some prayer chains going down there). I asked is it for Cooper to be home with his young parents for the Holidays.

What Bernie said to me ( she visits Cooper and cares for his five year old brother), Just please pray 'for' Cooper to live.

So here I am fellow friends, Christians and Freepers. Please pray for a miracle for Cooper, his is in such dire straits, no human, let alone a little guy should be born with all the odds against him as this.

Also please pray for his Mom Holly, who is going through her doubts in God, to feel filled with God's love and know He will provide the best for this little boy.

Father in Heaven, your servants begs your attention, please heed our urgent prayer for this baby boy. His brave mother stood by his life, she did not go the way so many do. She chose life Father.

Father we beseech you to honor that commitment, don't let her heart be broken. Healing is graciously bestowed as a reward from You for our faith. Our faith is in Your will for his life. But we pray you keep his life and his presence in the flesh, allow him to be a joy to his mother, and a testament to Your glory, dear Father.

In the name of Your precious son Jesus our healer and redeemer we ask it Father. amen

If Logan can make it against such odds, I think that Cooper will do well also.

Miracles come in all shapes and sizes, and at the oddest times.....

Our prayers for little Cooper Hawk.

Lord, You are mighty to save. Nothing is impossible for You, if it be Your will. We beg You in the name of Your dear Son our Saviour Jesus, the Christ, who healed those whose lives were despaired of: send forth Your strength and save this little child. Yet Your will and not ours be done.

And Holly, what a beautiful name, remember the Sans Day (Saints' Day) Carol, your name is a symbol of Christ himself and his blessed mother.

Now the Holly bears a flower as white as the milk
And Mary bore Jesus all wrapped up in silk.
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly,
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly.

Now the Holly bears a berry as green as the grass
And Mary bore Jesus who died on the cross.
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly,
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly.

Now the Holly bears a berry as black as the gall
And Mary bore Jesus who died for us all.
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly,
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly.

Now the Holly bears a berry, as blood it is red
And Mary bore Jesus who rose from the dead.
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly,
Holly, holly
And the first tree in the greenwood it was the holly.

I hope you can sing that sweet carol for Cooper at Christmas time.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the miracle of life. Thank you for even this amount of time that Cooper Hawk has been in this world as a blessed tiny bundle for Alfred and Holly.

We are praying for baby Cooper and Holly and Alfred. We ask for your blessings on this family and as always, the peace that is beyond our understanding.

We love you Lord and thank you.
Amen.
