Please keep Kelly in your prayers. She is delivering her 6th child sometime today. She was induced late last night at 34 weeks because of high blood pressure.

She has VERY difficult and dangerous pregnancies but has remained open to life in an amazing way. She is a faithful Catholic homeschooling mom who suffered brain damage (and almost died) during the birth of her 5th due to high blood pressure. (and had scary pregnancies 2 - 4 as well)

Please pray for her and her sweet Gemma who should be born sometime today. thanks!!

Thanks for the prayers for Kelly! She had her baby by emergency c-section. Baby is doing well, and mom will be watched carefully for the next few days at least.

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers!

Gemma is doing okay, but has high bilirubin and the hospital is trying to limit her breastfeeding, even though she is nursing like a champ.

Kelly's blood pressure is rising again and they haven't yet found the right med combination to control it.

Please continue to pray for these 2. thank you!!

Thank you for all your prayers! Kelly and Gemma are both home from the hospital today and both are in excellent health. Gemma is doing just fine - and the doctors were surprised they were able to send a 34 weeker home after just 3 days.

She credits all the prayers of so many for their health as it truly feels like a miracle that both are healthy.
