PRAY FOR RUTH'S BABY

[MIRIAM JACOB]

Please do pray for a friend and colleague, Ruth, who has a very sick baby. Ruth lost a baby last year and she and husband Adam were so happy when this pregnancy went well. Ruth had little baby Thomas by Ceasarian section 16 days ago. He was a good weight and everyone was happy. Then things started to go wrong. Baby Thomas started being sick after feeds and after a while he couldn't keep anything down and had to go into hospital. Things went from bad to worse as he caught the MRSA infection. They tried to treat him with a drip, but his veins are so small they couldn't do it. The last I heard was that the consultant was due to talk to Ruth about what they could do next. Please pray that the right decisions are made. Somehow, after having the experience myself of having a child in the family very ill, makes me feel even more deeply for Ruth and Adam and I pray they feel God's love and most of all, that little Thomas will survive and gets better. I must have faith; I must believe. Somehow the story of the ruler's son came to me, where he said "Lord I do believe, help thou my unbelief!" And Jesus healed his son.

Blessings,
Pauline.

I am so thankful for the prayers! Praise God I had a message today to say that baby Thomas and Ruth are home from hospital although still on medication.

I really feared the worst, at one point I'm afaid- when the last message I received was that Baby Thomas couldn't get the treatment he needed because his viens were too small, and he was deteriorating. Although I held to that verse "Lord, I DO believe.." I found it hard, especially as there had been no news for several days. When I got the message today I was so relieved and thankful!

Thank you so much,
Blessings,
Pauline

Ruth and baby Thomas continue to do well! He still has a bit of trouble with feeding, but nothing serious- and will probably resolve itself when he is old enough to have some solids!He is now a big, hungry baby!!!!!Thank you so much for your prayers!
