Pray for Our Daughter & Caleb

Update: 1:30

Our daughter is doing well. Caleb seems to be doing well too.

His birthweight is 4lbs 8 oz and there was no need to intubate him. He is breathing well on his own but they do have him hooked up to a CPAP machine as a precaution.

Thank you for the many who are praying. It’s not that God needs to hear more prayers from as many people as possible before He acts.

It’s that as we join in our voices together for the same purpose, the Lord blesses those who kneel before Him. There are many examples of God moving in big ways in response to the prayers of one person in Scripture.

God blesses and enlarges the faith of those who take the time to submit to Him in the realm of prayer.

Thank you again.

Update: 7:30am

Just talked with Rach & Ryan. She’s doing fine. Caleb was born and is doing ok but they said he’ll be in ICU for 6-8 weeks. Said he cried more than Jethro and he was kicking, which are very good signs.

Apparently the placenta started tearing away which is a rare condition.

Rachel isn’t sure how long she’ll be in the hospital.

Just a quick post…our pregnant daughter was taken to the hospital this morning with bleeding and contractions.

As I write this at 6:30am they are delivering her son, Caleb. But he is only 30 weeks and 3 pounds. This will mean he spends time in the ICU and fortunately there is a level 4 Neo-natal ICU at the same hospital where our daughter is now.

The Lord is in the details.

If readers would be so kind as to lift our daughter, Rachel, son Caleb , and dad, Ryan up to the Lord for His watchcare over them we would very much appreciate it.

Isaiah 41:10 says, “Fear not for I am with you. Be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

We are heading up to be with them today.

Thank you so much for your prayers and I will post updates in this brief post.
