I have several posts I’ve been writing in my head and I keep meaning to sit down and put pen to paper (or rather keystrokes to the screen) but those will have to wait for another time.
I’m writing today to ask for prayers for a good friend of mine who is currently in the hospital and doing everything she can to hang onto her baby boy who is currently nine days away from viability. Just thinking about her possibly losing him keeps bringing me to tears and I hate, hate how difficult this pregnancy has been for her every step of the way. I won’t be linking her until I clear it with her, but suffice to say she is a big contributor to the IF community and has been a huge source of support for me and many, many others.
It breaks my heart to think of her in the hospital right now not knowing how all of this will turn out. This is just so incredibly unfair, I don’t even have the words to express how unfair this is. She and her wonderful hubby do not deserve to be in this awful, scary position.
In my heart of hearts, I believe she and her tough little man will make it through this. We’ve spent the past few months making so many plans about all the things the boys are going to do together, so please, please, please God, let them be okay. For her, for her hubby, their family, friends, everyone who already loves this baby so very much.
I was just talking to her last night, it must have been a few hours before she went into the hospital, and she was saying how much people’s prayers and positive thoughts have been keeping her going through these difficult months so please if you are the praying sort, say a little prayer for her and her little man, or send some good thoughts their way.
And please baby boy, just hang in there and stay put a few weeks longer! Your auntie Joyce promises to spoil the heck out of you, okay?
