I have a special prayer request. I just talked to the mother of my special patient (Angel) and she gave permission for me to tell his story and ask for your prayers.

Angel was born on January 19; full term, and appeared perfect. However, when his Mom tried to feed him, he choled and turned blue. He was brought to our NICU and diagnosed with a tracheal-esophogeal atresia. He had surgery immediately to repair the trachea, but has been in the NICU growing until his esophagus can be repaired. He has constant suction to the back of his throat, and has had several complications.

In spite of his problems, he is developing normally, and is the SWEETEST baby. He coos and smiles and kicks and reaches for his toys, and enchants everyone with his big blue eyes.


He is going to have his major surgery on May 18, and we're hoping that his esophagus has grown enough that it could be connected without having to use part of his intestine, which would make life a LOT hareder for him.

Please pray for a miracle for Angel

Thank you and God Bless and Happy Mother's Day to all our wonderful ladies.

Love,

Donna

Heavenly Father, PLEASE put your hands on Angel and heal him! Make him whole again...let him come home to his parents! Lord, we've seen your miracles in Logan, in Sarah, in so many people's lives...please give us another for Angel!

In Jesus' Name, Amen

Dear God, please provide Your healing miracle to our little friend Angel. Shower him with love and keep him strong and free from pain. We pray that his esophagus has grown as needed to enable his surgery to be free from other complications for him. Send your angels to serenade his mommy through all of this so that she may also know Your love and comfort.

We thank you God for all of your blessings. Please guide Angel's doctors and the medical staff as they care for him. And God, we thank you for your earthly angel, Donna, who cares so deeply for all of us and continually gives her love to us.

In Your name we give thanks in prayer....

Merciful Heavenly Father,
Surround this little Angel and help all of his systems to grow in size and strength before the May 18 surgery date. Father, intercede, and let that esophagus be the proper length so that the doctors do not have to use a portion of the intestine. We accept with gratitude your intercession and willingness to intercede according to thy Will, for we have seen miracles abound when we gather together in prayer.

Surround DL and all her nursing colleagues and the doctors and other medical professionals caring for Angel. Guide them all and inspire them as to the proper actions and interventions this little one needs.

Surround the parents and family of Angel and comfort them while they hold vigil for him. We thank you for the team of angels who works with Angel, and all of the patients in NICU. Thank you for the team of angels you have assigned to each of the medical professionals in that hospital and all others.

We thank you and praise you Father, for the gift of Life. We ask that if it is according to thy Will, Angel's life will be long and full of opportunity and promise. Let this which we have called forth for Angel also be poured out on any and all who are in a similar situation of need.

Amen
