So grateful...

My cousin just sent me an email asking us to pray for friends of theirs who delivered their baby boy early....he was only 23 weeks along. He was born in December, and wasn't due until March...I have spent some time this morning reading their blog, and my heart breaks with this couple and their tiny baby! They have had to go through so much in his short little life so far....infection, so many treatments, blood transfusions, worry about brain bleeds, worry about kidney function and breathing on his own....
I can't help but be amazed at our situation....here I was labeled a "high risk pregnancy" and was monitored for EVERYTHING...and I delivered two perfect, healthy babies at 37 weeks (full term for twins) who had not one thing wrong with them.....and this sweet girl who was pregnant with ONE baby, and had a perfectly healthy pregnancy, went into labor at 23 weeks and now is fighting the battle of her life....it makes you realize that it is not us who is in control, but GOD, and these babies are only really ours to borrow while we are here on earth.
Please pray for this tiny baby boy...his name is Coy...(God will know who you are talking about ;)...that he continues to get stronger and thrive...and for strength for his parents.....
Praise God for his health thus far....and for those of us who don't know what this feels like....
