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.

These may help the Mother. I know they help me.

Mar 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth.

Mar 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

Thank you, but I believe God even gives us what to pray, nothing is to my credit.
