We need a Miracle...

Hello friends and family of Neal and Angie, this is Holly her older sister. I don't know how many of you have heard, but Sunday night Angie was admitted to the hospital. I don't know all the technical terms, and won't go into much detail, but she is now in labor and the baby will be born in the next few days. The little guy is healthy but she is only about 22 weeks along. The chance of survival for this sweet little guy is very slim. This is their first baby, we waited a long time to get him. I have a testimony of the power of prayer, I know that Heavenly Father knows Neal & Angie's situation and is very aware of their little family right now. We just need a miracle! So would you please say a little prayer for my sister and her family. We need all the faith & prayers we can get. Thank you so much! I will try to update my blog and Angie's as often as I can. Thank you!



Update....

First of all THANK YOU so much for all the prayers in Neal & Angie's behalf. We can all feel them. There is truly strength in numbers. My parents flew down yesterday morning to be with them, and Neal's parents should be there today. Angie is dilated to a 10, they are still trying to hold off full out labor. She was unable to be on the pain meds, since they were making her heart race, which I'm sure was pretty miserable for her, but last night they got her heart rate back down and she was able to be back on the morphine. What a blessing! She had a good night my mom said. The doctors are pretty amazed at her pain tolerance and that the baby has not come yet. She is 23 weeks along exactly today. If our sweet little guy can make it 7 more days the statistics of him surviving go up dramatically. They can give Angie a steroid shot to induce lung growth in him. We are just holding on and hoping for a miracle! Please continue to pray for them. We would appreciate it so much! I will update if anything changes or as often as I get any new news. Thanks again!
