(I don't know what happened with my half-finished post-sorry!)
I'm praying here too!
We experienced a miracle 2 years ago, when my water broke at 19 weeks. Although we were encouraged to abort (by our Catholic doctor at our Catholic hospital  ), and told by other doctors that we needed a miracle if our baby was to survive, he was born perfectly healthy.
My whole family grew so much in our trust and in our faith in God, and we learned that His will for us, no matter how painful, was what we desired. It helped so much in the months leading up to Joseph's birth, as I was in the hospital and away from the rest of my family.
I know that God is working, and that He loves Matthew more than even his own mother ever could. Whatever the outcome, He is your loving Father! I hope sharing my story with you helps even a little bit!

Emily- my dc ask every day about how Matthew's heart is. I will tell them we need to say extra prayers- both for him and for your peace. What a terribly hard road you are on.
May Our Lady protect you both.

You all are so dear to me to be praying for our little baby. I am sure that I was held up by your prayers. My blood pressure today was higher than normal, but tI think it was from my nerves.. The news wasn't great, it looks like Matthew will need to try to make his debut a lot sooner than we all want ( premature wise) I wrote the events of the day On God's Canvas and everything they told us as well as a few fuzzy adorable photos for you all as well as my family to read.
I am still praying for a miracle for Matthew's heart to be completely healed. Thank you for your prayers for him.

I will be praying for little Matthew and your family tomorrow during my Holy Hour.
May the Lord keep you at peace during this time.
PS: He looks beautiful in those pictures and you can really start to see his features
