Exclamation NOt SR related, but looking for prayers from anyone I can get them from

I haven't been here for a long time, since I no longer talk to or see my XAH. THis is about something else. I apologize that it is not drug related, but I need to do this for my friend.

My dear friend of 13 years had her baby today at only 23 weeks. The baby is a tiny fragile little girl and I can just ask for prayers that she will survive. My friend and her husband already lost one baby a year ago due to spinal defects...so this baby was all they could hope for. She is all I can think about and I am just looking for all the good thoughts and prayers for her that I can get

I am going to help her in anyway I can, but I can only do so much. I just hope she is in that 15% that survives at this age.....

Thank you so much for your well wishes...

Life is recovery related. Your request for prayers fits here as much as any other place.

Prayers are on the way.

Medicine can do so much these days and God's hand can guide them and finish the job.

My nephew was born at week 24...18 years ago. Medicine has advanced over those 18 years and God is still God. Prayers for the baby and the parents.

sending prayers your way, and a special prayer for mom and her little daughter.

just to encourage you, i delivered 6 premies and i had one premie grandbaby and they are all doing just fine. i had two that were right at 23 wks, now 16 weight 2'+ and 29 weight 1'+ yrso. i know how scary that can be but i think now, a lot of them do fairly well.

Leah, Sending my prayers for the little one. Like others have said, the medical field can perform miracles today with premature babies. Here is hoping that this little one makes it. Hugs, Marle

leah,

prayers, good thoughts, and gentle wishes - my 8 year old was born at 26 weeks, weighing 1lb14oz and is now a football playing, rugged, big guy 2nd grader (he was a surviving twin) - you would never know he was born prematurely - i wanted to let you know about a web site preemie-l.org - it's a great source of imformation and inspiration - and if you're friend has any questions you can give her my email - [email protected] - i used to run a nicu support group after ty was born - it was a scary time - you're a good friend...

love,
s
