Urgent Prayers Needed

My sister and her husband are expecting their first baby at the end of July beginning of August. While doing their big ultrasound today they found that the baby has an omphalacele. Basically this means that some of the abdominal organs are growing outside of the abdomen around the umbilical cord. The extent is not known. It is sometimes linked to other chromosomal disorders. It has been suggested that they get an amniocentesis, but they are unsure of this. They are going to see a perinatologist tomorrow. Please pray for them and the baby. This was an exciting time for them and now they are left with alot of questions and uncertainty tonight.Pray for Jami and Blake to have peace and hope. Pray for healing, God is bigger than this and can heal this sweet baby and use this for his Glory. Pray for Dr Gonzolez, that God will give him the knowledge and wisdom to make Godly decisions tomorrow. For the grandparents and other family that we all have patience and understanding of how they feel and what they are going through.

I will definitely be praying for them! Is she still delivering at that "hospital where I used to work"? If so, my dad is really good friends with the head of Neonatology (they were in residency together many moons ago), and she is WONDERFUL! Keep us posted!

BTW, go check out my blog....YOU WON! Yay! Email me your address and I'll mail it to you next week!
