Last night, I spoke with a good friend of mine who, together with his wife, are going through a VERY tough time. I told him that they would all be in my prayers and I ask that they be in yours as well.

My friend Ernest and his wife were about 23 weeks along in their pregnancy when some medical problems arose that required her to be given some medicine to actually prevent her from having the baby at this time. She was actually beginning to go into labor at a little over five months along. Due to some more complications, the doctors had no choice but to deliver the baby last night. He weighed only 1 lb. and is eleven inches long.

To make matters worse for them, the doctors suggested to 'make preparations' since the baby is so premature.

What can one say to comfort a good friend in a situation like this?

Please keep him and his family in your prayers....they really need a little help from above at this time.
 
Been there and know what they're going through. God bless and give them all strength for the days ahead. That's also only one ounce less than what my wife weighed when she was born.

may they find the strength they need in their faith, may they be beacons of light for each other, and may the blessed child grow up healthy and hearty.

I'm not the most religious sort, but I'll do what I can. Prayers sent. Best of luck with the baby, I hope he pulls through.

No updates yet, and I really don't want to disturb them, so I'll just be waiting for my buddy to call me.

Thanks for all your prayers and replies.....
 
Is this the same family profiled on tv? I saw a piece this morning on the Today show. If so, they are going to have lots of prayers sent out. More prayers sent!
 
Premies have a rough road to travel.

Prayers for the new addition and parents !

silenthunterstudios, it's not the same family. I haven't been keeping up with the news, but I'm sure that my buddy would have let me know if there was a story about this in the news.

Thanks again.
