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.

Prayers for Cooper.
Oh Holy Lord, please bless Cooper and give the doctors the knowledge to make a miracle happen.
And please Lord, come back into Holly's heart. Let her see that You are in all things, that although it may look bad now, You have a plan and all things good come to those who have faith in Your Sacred Heart.
In Jesus Name....Amen

O Lord, please touch this little one with Your mighty hand, to heal him and to give him a future and a hope. Let little Cooper be healed to show Your power, and make his life a testimony to your greatness and mercy. Bless his mother with peace and faith, with assurance that You will undertake for her child. Bless her for not allowing Cooper to be killed before he was born. Heal her heart of the burdens she carries for Cooper, with all of the surgeries and attendant worries to a new mother. Grant her the desire of her heart to see Cooper thrive and grow.
We ask for a medical miracle, the likes of which will dumbfound the doctors, and let them see that Your hand was in it.
We ask this in the name of Jesus, the name that is above all names.

Holly, Please don't ever doubt God and His mercy. Cooper will never be far from His heart. And may He bless you for your strength in resisting the medical 'advice' to surrender before Cooper could even be born.
Extraordinary, baffling hardship in this world can sometimes serve to pull you so close to Him it is almost overwhelming.
He is with you. Be with Him.

Sorry to offend you, but I sincerely am trying to understand the rationale behind a second or third prayer on the same subject. Texas Termite could tell you a lot about that.
So could we. But you have to have an open heart and mind.

I join with other Freepers here in asking for a double miracle - for Cooper's healing and for Holly's faith.
