As I sit down to type out this blog my heart is so heavy... Our dear friends, Dusty & Kenzie who I've written about previously are in the midst of a HUGE storm as we speak that began yesterday.
Kenzie is pregnant with Maddox, at 34 weeks and has been diagnosed with Trisomy18. Yesterday while at playgroup, Kenzie started experiencing some vision disturbances and went in to her OB to get checked out. While there they discovered she was having consistant contractions 4-5 minutes apart. Her doctor then decided that it was time to head to the hospital. We spent some precious time visit with them last night after we received a call from Dusty...he was out of town on business trying his best to make it back here to Houston. He DID make it back in town last night before any action really began. They spent the night last night and as I write this little Maddox still hasn't been born yet... SOOO..........
PLEASE pray for them!!
For peace, comfort, patience, strength, endurance, ALL of the above.
Joshua 1:9, "This is my command - be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD YOUR GOD is with you WHEREVER you go!"
A big obsticle they are currently facing is with the doctors not being as WILLING to do ALL they can to keep Maddox alive once he is born since he is at 34 week gestation (premature) on top of his health condition. Please pray that they would be convicted to do ALL they can to give this little boy a chance to spend some precious time with his family!
PRAY IN FAITH for a miracle!!! Mark 16:17-18 "These miraculous signs will accompany those who BELIEVE;.....(vs 18) They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they WILL be healed."
Romans 8:28, "And we know in ALL things God works together for the good of those who love him and who are called according to his purpose."
PRAY BELIEVING!! I know that God is so much bigger than I can ever comprehend! I know He has a perfect plan for my friends and this precious Life that has been given to them. But still it is so hard to sit back and watch someone I've grown close to in such a short amount of time walk through such a dark journey!
"Lord, may our FAITH and HOPE be found in YOU and YOU alone!"
I'll update as soon as I hear more... there are also some updates on her blog. http://thestanfieldjourney.blogspot.com/
Blessings!!
