Prayers Still Needed

I wanted to give an update about Kelly. They had to deliver the baby this morning via c-section and they got to spend about 4 hours with her before she passed away. They need prayers of comfort now as that is the only thing anyone can do. As you would imagine the family is having a very hard time and they need Heavenly Fathers comfort more than anything. Please keep them in your prayers.

Prayers Needed

So I just found out about a lady in our ward that is pregnant. Her name is Kelly and their little girl is in our primary class. She had a still born baby boy at 40 weeks almost a year ago and is now 29 weeks pregnant with a little girl. She went into her doctor this morning cuz she just wasn't feeling right and they found that the baby has a condition known as Hydrops. Here are 2 links that explain about what this is:

They are going to attempt an intrauterine fetal blood transfusion as that is the only thing that they can do while the baby is still in utero. If that does not work they will have to take the baby by emergency c-section. The doctors are not hopeful as less than half of the baby's that have this survive. It causes the organs to shut down because of the swelling that is caused and it also over works the baby's heart and causes prenatal heart failure. Kelly will be in hospital for the rest of her pregnancy and odds are that won't be very long. Please pray for the family, their baby girl, and for the doctors that they will follow the best course of action for the situation. This is all we can do, and all the family is asking for, so I figured I could contact everyone I know and enlist their thoughts and prayers as well.

Thank you so much. Love you all!
