    Default Please Pray for us

    For those of you who know my wife and I were expecting a baby with a due date of March 2008. We found out to day that the baby has a rare case of dwarfism that is fatal. The baby's rib cage will not grow big enough to support its lungs and let them develope. All the doctors that we have talked to said the chance for death is 100%.
    Due to our Christian beleifs we are not going to abort the baby. We feel there will be more closure for us if my wife carries full term and delivers that baby and we are able to see it for about an hour, (from we have been told the life expectancy is).
    I just ask that yall keep us in your prayers and thoughts, as this has been the toughest thing I have ever gone thru.

    Thanks

    This is an awful situation, and I hope that you and your wife find the strength to get through it, and never have to deal with anything like this again, and that you can find resolution sooner rather than later.

    I'm so very sorry, Brandon. I just had an old friend die yesterday, and I've been crying a good bit. I can't imagine how much harder losing a child is.

    Hard times can draw you closer to God, and he will always be with you, even unto the ends of the earth.
    Just hike.
