Pray for Jaden

My sister's sister-in-law (yes, it's a mouthful), Jennifer delivered her baby four months early. His name is Jaden, and he's having a rough time...as is the whole family. Please pray for baby Jaden and for Jennifer and her husband. He is their first, and I can't even imagine what they must be going through. He weighs about a pound right now, and doctors are struggling to keep him going while his tiny little body continues to develop. It is not unheard-of for such a little one to survive and develop into a healthy, happy baby...even if it were, we serve a BIG GOD who can do anything! Read Mom's update below...and please be in prayer!!!!

Hello all,

The baby had a rough night last night. Doctors called the family in to say their good-byes because the baby's vital signs were not good. When they got to the hospital, there were three nurses trying to rally him without success. When Jaden heard his mommy's voice, he was fine. It's just been so amazing how he responds to Jennifer. I think the hospital should let her have a bed beside him! Anyway, he stabilized and they went home. Then doctors told them today he had an infection...normal since he has no immune system yet...and they're flushing him with antibiotics which usually makes them lethargic. However! Jaden has been very active all day! Yeah, Mom's been there. So we need to pray for Jennifer's strength to hold...and that the hospital will let her come anytime day or night. Oh! Another good sign...he's tinkling...all over the place...and the doctor says that's great!

If God wakes you up in the night, please pray for Jaden. We need to keep the prayer vigil going especially at night. We do have some missionary friends in Asia praying, and I think their day might be our night, but we still need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit for the night vigil here. Don't be aggravated when you can't sleep. Just pray.
