Please pray for Noah


I received an email from Noah's mom this morning and reading through their blog just breaks my heart. Part of me has wondered if Kyleigh has some kind of Mito disorder (with her multiple system failures) and I pray that we will never have to find out.

Noah is 2 1/2 and is living with Mitochondrial disease. He's TPN dependent, and has heart, bone marrow, blood pressure, autoimmune, and immune system issues. He and his family could DEFINITELY use any and all prayers you can muster up!

IT is with a heavy heart that I post this. Sweet little Kayleigh earned her wings on May 11, 2009. Her family's sweet spirit still comes through in every post about the memorial and their life from here on. I hope that you will continue to pray for the Freeman family as they learn to live without their little Kayleigh.

URGENT PRAYERS NEEDED FOR KAYLEIGH. It seems that after her g-tube placement / nissen surgery Kayleigh now has a big part of her cerebral cortex that is not functioning (read: brain dead). This little girl is a miracle in tiny form and we are praying with all our hearts alongside her family and friends that God will see fit to give her one more miraculous healing.

Go here to read her story and her parent's desperate plea for prayers.

Pray for Stellan!!!

Prayers for Stellan

When I was very new to the Blogosphere I came across MckMama's blog. Her youngest baby, Stellan, is truly a miracle and he is currently in the ICU with SVT (which is what nearly claimed him in utero!) So if you are out there and praying today... pray for Stellan!

This blog is dedicated to the children who face life altering medical issues and have to overcome obstacles each day just to live their lives. Our daughter, Kyleigh was born with a large set of chronic medical issues. She has 17 separate diagnoses, 37 specialists to care for her, 3 hospitals, and more love than she will ever know. But our story is NOT unique. Every single day, parents just like me, are forced to make decisions they should never have to make! They sit in hospital rooms around the world, praying and crying out to God for the healing of their children's bodies.

I hope that each day you will open this blog, lay your hand on the screen and cry out to God for their healing. I hope that you will pray for every single parent that they will be given strength, peace and joy to see them through their journies.

Won't you join them in their prayers?

Pray for Jonah


Urgent Prayers needed!!! I happened upon a blog of Patrice and Matt Williams. Their beautiful little baby Jonah was born with a RARE Skin condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa. This is a very intense condition that causes even the lightest of touch or tapes such as tegaderm, etc... to produce blisters and break the skin. If you would like to read more about the condition itself click on the diagnosis above and it will take you to Wikipedia. Right now... this little boy and his family need prayer!!!!!!! I know that we have the means to offer that! So please. Forward this blog link to everyone you know. Send out a mass email to Facebook friends and Email contacts and lets gets a new round of prayers started for this little amazing man!

Pray for Eithene

Today our friend Eithene needs a few extra special prayers. Last night there was a pretty scary episode of unconsciousness that landed her in the ICU. You can read about it on their Caringbridge site. Miss Eithene continues to be a mystery to many of her docs. She is a little extra special to me as she and Ky share SO many similarities in diagnosis!

PLEASE PRAY that God would give her doctors the wisdom and patience to find answers and get a new routine that would keep her healthy and HOME for a while!
