Rough

Two families are having some really rough days and need our prayers.

First of all, a fellow heart board Mom lost her precious angel, Sam, today. He was 11 months old and had endured quite a lot in those 11 months. The latest was that his feeding tube had perforated his intestines, causing him to become septic. His body could not heal from the damage that was done. His heart became weak from working overtime. His Mommy and Daddy made the painful decision to let him go home to God today. So, while they loved on him, God called him home. It just sucks. There are no other words. This tube was supposed to help him gain strenght by making feedings easier, and there ended up being life threatening complications from it. May God comfort his family.

Secondly, our sweet neighbors could really use some prayers as well. They have two beautiful boys, Lukas and Noah, and yesterday Mommy was walking down the stairs with Noah, slipped and fell, lost her grip on Noah about halfway down the stairs so he fell the remainder of the way on his own with her behind him. He is doing MUCH better today, but it has been very scary. He will remain in the PICU until tomorrow, then hopefully be moved to a step down unit and then, be released home by Tuesday. His poor Mommy...this is something ALL of us have done, either fallen down the stairs holding our kiddos or nearly fallen down the stairs. She's pretty upset though, as any of us would be. So, please say some extra prayers for her...and of course for Noah.

Thank you!
