PLEASE, please pray for a baby boy named Ezra. He was born with his intestines in his chest and his lungs are underdeveloped. He was doing well, but he's developed pneumonia and a blood clot.
The doctors are giving this baby boy just one more try at the request of his family.
PLEASE, prayer warriors! PLEASE pray for Ezra! PLEASE.
We just lost an 18 year old to cancer two weeks ago. Our family is reeling already.
Ezra needs lungs.
Prayers for the little one.
I do have to clarify something that I obviously misstated. When I said that our family lost a boy a couple of weeks ago, this was my cousin’s child. That branch of the family has been hit hard. This was not my child. I was saying ‘family’ as referring to the larger, extended family and not my nuclear family.
Too many people have PMed me and I’m horrified that I misstated this so badly.
And thank you so much for your prayers. I know that the family is grateful.
A loss in the family of a youngster is still a loss.
Adding my prayer for Ezra
Prayers...God bless
Prayers sent, God Bless.

We have an update on Ezra!!
“GOD IS GOOD!!!!! No challenge is too great for Team E!!!! Against all odds our little victor even surprised the surgical team when they said, “We gotta give it to him. He’s a tough kid!” But really, it’s a success for the whole team! Everyone each had a part in making the miraculous a reality! Ezra began with good CO2 numbers which became slightly elevated. With adjusted ventilator settings they decreased but we were maxed out and didn’t have “wiggle room” in case his lungs gave out. He maintained good numbers so he is now ECMO free!!!!!! Still holding strong and we will continue to monitor his blood gases. Ezra still has a perilous journey ahead but he has shown great strength in the face of adversity! We are so deeply moved by everyone’s support and thank God for his mercy!”
The little guy is off the vent! Improvements in EVERY area!
The family has requested continued prayers, as he’s not out of the woods, yet. But this is a miracle!
Two days ago, this little guy was pretty much done for. Now he’s breathing on his own for the first time in his life! :D
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
Everyone, keep praying.
Praise God for this answer to prayer!
Thanks be to God. Continued prayers.
Thanks so much for this great news. Marie.
Thank you Gd for saying, “yes”! lol!
Thanks for the wonderful update. Prayers of thanks going up to God, and prayers for continued healing.
Thank you for the update! Continued prayers for Ezra’s improvement and his family’s peace of mind. Praise God!
Very Good To Hear! no Matter His Plans are may we all play the part He Will us to!
God Bless!
Inspiring and joyful! Will keep the prayers going.
Great news! God bless little Ezra.
I’m so glad he’s doing so much better! Prayers continued. God bless
