I would like to enlist the services of the Prayer Warriors for the grandson of a little girl who lived in my neighborhood when I was growing up. She's obviously not so little now, but is in need of your prayers. Keegan James Dondlinger was born yesterday, November 23, 2012, but was due March 4, 2013, three days after my own grandson is due. He weighed 1.85 lbs, but he looks very well developed for being so young and so little. He's been able to open his eyes, and to grasp his mother's finger.

The eight week old son of my bride's best friend is facing major surgery tomorrow. Christopher's arteries feeding the heart are to small, and there is at least one hole in the heart itself. Please pray for him. The surgery will be tomorrow morning, and will last (God willing) for many hours. There is a real risk that Christopher will nor survive the surgery or the recovery.

Prayer Warriors...I was contacted asking you all to PLEASE pray for a little guy named Brently. He's only 2 months old and has a disease called Klippel Treaunay Syndrome. Please Google it...there's many sites explaining it, this, being one of them. This little boys entire left side from and including the hip, leg and feet are encased with a hugh mass of veins and blood. Many transfusions are being given and the leg seeps. Doctors in OKC, and Arkansas cannot do anything, the next step is Boston. Short of amputating, my friend can’t see what can be done. Pray for...

Freepers, we first started praying for these babies when their mother was 21 weeks gestation and showing signs of labor. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2549381/posts) They were born at 26 weeks gestation. Hannah and Emma are their names. Emma was born healthier than Hannah, who has already had to undergo surgery to deal with blood and fluid on her brain. Emma, who wasn't on a breathing machine had to be put on one shortly after being moved to another hospital where her sister could get more specialized care. Tonight, they are both fighting upper respiratory infections or something unknown and are in great need...

Granddaughter Grace Elizabeth was brought to us on July 13, just a couple of weeks early....she was a bit 'sluggish' regarding suckling instincts, etc., so she was held in the Sacramento hospital for a few days. After a week at home, her weight dropped and the listlessness worsened, so she's been re-hospitalized since last Monday......the staff Neuro suspects some seizure activity, and his diagnosis will be restudied this coming Monday. Requesting Prayer Warrior activists to kick it in on Grace's behalf. Regards, Bat

I would like to ask the prayer warriors at FR to send many prayers for my friends, Walter and Amber and their children.

My stepdaughter had her baby prematurely. He was born with really serious heart problems. He has finally gained enough weight that they think it's safe to do his heart surgery. We have been told that the surgery will be first thing tomorrow morning. We could sure use your prayers for baby Leif.
