Prayer Request
To my fellow blog friends that believe in the power of prayer like I do, this post is for you.
Yesterday, Madison Kathryn came into the world. Her parents and big sister are dear friends to us. Precious Madison was born with a severe congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart. On Tuesday, October 1st at 9:30am central time this precious baby will undergo the first of three surgeries to re-build this damaged chamber in her heart.
Thankfully, a very astute ultra-sound technician caught this early in Julie's pregnancy. This allowed them to move Julie to the hospital that is affiliated with the Minneapolis Children's Hospital where Madison was taken immediately after delivery. Based on her weight (8 pounds) and the fact that she was full term also makes her condition more favorable. The doctors have given Julie and Todd an 85% survival rate for Madison's condition. Obviously, there are all sorts of risks on a baby this tiny. Please pray for peace for Julie and Todd as they face the days ahead, wisdom and brilliance for the heart surgeons, loving caregivers in the NICU, no infection or any other illness that could put Madison at more risk. As a mother my heart breaks for Julie while she yearns to hold, comfort and protect her new daughter.
If you are able to take the time to pray for baby Madison, thank you! I know God has great plans for this special little girl!
Blessings,
Diana
