Ladies, Matthew was born last night. I spoke to Emily's daughter just a minute ago. His little lungs are not developed enough and they are afraid he will not make it. He has been baptized. Please Please pray! That's all I know right now. If I hear anything else I will update ASAP.

I just spoke to Emily and she said that yesterday she wasn't feeling him move so they went in. His heart rate was erratic and he wasn't getting enough oxygen. So they tried giving him heart medicine through the cord and it worked for a while, but his heartrate dropped real low so they did an emergency c-section. He weighs 6lb7oz and he is stable right now. But when they were working for so long trying to get him stable he wasn't getting enough oxygen to his brain and now he is very still. They weren't given any options right now, but they will need to decide what to do in the next 48-72 hours.
There is still time for a miracle, keep praying!

Said a special prayer for this little one.

May Our Lady hold him close during this time.
