My bride has just found out that a niece of one of her coworkers has PPROM. In layman's terms, her water broke early. She is at the University of Iowa Children's hospital on bed rest. The baby is at 25 weeks, so there is great hope that the child will make it to viability.
In January 2014, this happened to my wife at 15 weeks. She spent four months on bed rest, and our little miracle was born at 35 weeks gestation. We understand what this young family is going through. Please pray for her, her husband, her child, and the good doctors.

PRAYING...
My wife has worked nicu for over 30 years. Prayers have been offered.
Dear God—
Dear God, Thy will be done, I pray.
Fiance was born at 24 weeks FORTY EIGHT years ago at 2 pounds.
I’m sure technology has come very far!
I will pray.
Prayers said.
O Lord, protect this child. Amen.
We saw things at the U of I NICU last year that were amazing. Our Little Bear was a miracle, they all said that, but there was a little boy under a pound there that went home shortly after we did.
Miracles still happen.
Here's praying for one for your wife's friend.

Prayers up.
O Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ our God, the Source of life and immortality, we thank Thee, for in the marriage of this young woman Thou has blest her to be a recipient of Thy blessing and gift; for Thou, O Master, didst say: Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.
Bless this fruit of her body that was given to her by Thee; favor it and animate it by Thy Holy Spirit, and let it grow a healthy and pure body, with well-formed limbs.
Sanctify its body, mind, heart, and vitals, and grant this infant that is to be born an intelligent soul; establish him in the fear of Thee.
A faithful angel, a guardian of soul and body, do thou vouchsafe him. Protect, keep, strengthen, and shelter the child in her womb until the hour of his birth. But conceal him not in his mother’s womb; Thou gavest him life and health.
O Lord Jesus Christ, into Thine almighty and paternal hands do we entrust this child. Place him upon the right hand of Thy grace, and through Thy Holy Spirit sanctify him and renew him unto life everlasting, that he may be a comminucant of Thy Heavenly Kingdom. Amen.
Joining you in prayer, in Jesus Name.
Prayers on the way.
