Please forgive me for essentially plagiarizing an existing title (no I don't work for the NYT), but it's very important to me and what better way to get the attention.
Please keep little Connor in your thoughts and prayers. He is the son of a very good friend of mine since college. Due to a medical condition in his mother, he was delivered at 27 weeks. When born he weighed in a 2lbs. 3oz. and is now hovering around 1lb. 14 oz.
His lung development so far has exceeded expectations and he did cry upon "removal" but, needless to say, he will remain in NICU for the foreseeable future. He is being fed via the vein in his umbilical cord. He is doing as well as can be expected, so far so good. However there are many hurdles still to come. Mom is doing better and is recovering from the C-section.
Please send all of the good vibes and prayers you can to little Connor and his parents. They can use all of the help they can get.
Please forgive me for the title, but would you both do me the favor of getting the word out about my little buddy. You obviously have the experience and the connections! Thank you! -Lone
Meek, long time no "speak". Would you do me the favor of one of your Meek PINGs? Thanks in advance!

My prayers for this wee tiny one!

Will pray for the little one and his family.
Prayers sent. My firstborn was delivered at 27 weeks at 2 lbs 4 oz, and is now an advanced 2 1/2 year old who already knows all his ABC's and can count to thirty...so tell them there is plenty of hope for everything to work out great.
My now 7 year old son was a 23-24 weeker and was 15.5 ozs at birth. He's doing great in 1st grade with minimal issues from his prematurity. God can do amazing things!
Prayers are up for the wee one...
prayers for Connor and his family
Hope the mom is okay!
Prayers for little Connor for sure. Like others who have- mailed my little girl was very premature and lightweight. Now a teenager and lovely.
In our thoughts and prayers. Please let the parents know they are not alone. My wife and I have been in the same situation. My 11yr old son (honor roll and star hockey player) was born at 28 wks via emergency c-section 2 lbs 8 ozs. Stayed in the NICU until his due date about 3mos.
From the mom of a preemie - prayers sent.

Prayers up for baby Conner and family!
Prayers sent for baby Connor and his mom and dad!
My wife and I just had out fourth daughter on September 15. She came four weeks early, as my wife was experiencing preclemsia and low anionic fluid. She came out crying and immediately began experiencing breathing problems. Jennifer was taken to NICU and was released two weeks later. Currently she has a voracious appetite and wakes us up every two to three hours.
The level of care and expertise at the NICU is laudable. They rarely lose a child. However, seeing your child hooked up to IV’s and machines is traumatic. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your friend, her husband and child.
Prayers sent for young Connor and his family.
Prayers going up!

I join in urgent prayer for this little one!
I don't know about good vibes. But prayer goes up to HIM that can. May HE allow this tiny baby the gift of a long and eventually healthy life, in Jesus's name so be it.
Answering this call to prayer for one of God's wee ones. May the Lord be with Connor, his parents, and the medical professionals caring for him!

Thanks for the ping BG. Prayers going up for another precious one.
My daughter had a little girl 8 weeks, but smaller than expected for even that size...2LBS.9Oz. early...
..she's now 10-1/2 months old and is thriving!
She's all caught up, weight & height and everything! and is beautiful and bright!
Today's NICU is fantastic....the nurses are there for those babies!
Prayer is powerful!
Prayers away for the little guy!!
Conner annd family will be in my thoughts.
Hi Conner!!! ..... I've been there and done that! And it's the prayers of all who care on FR that kept me and my family going.
You stay strong little one, let your mommy talk softly to you, tell you how strong you are and how much you are loved and touch you ever so gently. You'll know her by her smell and the sound of her voice.
Our prayers will be with you and your family. Welcome to our world little one. We love you! And tell Mommy she's in our prayers for a quick and complete recovery too!

You have created this tiny, precious life, and You have filled this beautiful child with Your love. Now we pray for Your strength to flow through him, fortifying him for the life that lies ahead for him, and giving him everything he needs to be established in the good health You want for all Your children. Be with his mother and help her to recover quickly so that her arms can be ready to hold and love her beautiful child. We are confident, Lord, that You will provide everything that this family needs. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
I'm sure they see nothing to forgive you for. We are all happy to offer up our prayers for any precious baby that needs them.
Prayers and love for little Connor and family.
