Some ladies may remember a a friend of mine who had open heart surgery two years ago.

Melinda, had her sixth baby today, a little boy but unfortunately the birth resulted in a ceasarian and she lost alot of blood due to a tear in her uterus and needed a blood transfusion.

She nearly needed a hysterectomy and there is still a great risk that they will need do it.

Melinda was quite tired leading into this birth and so this is such a hard outcome for her...please pray that she will recover well with no complications, no hysterectomy.

Many thanks, dear friends!

Update on pg 2

I'm praying for Melinda, Anne...how devastating and difficult after giving birth. May Our Lady surround her in peace and may her powerful prayers assure a speedy and uncomplicated healing!

This is my biggest fear, and a friend of our had hers rupture in two places. She ended up having a hysterectomy several months later because things weren't quite right. It was very hard for her.

Praying for your friend. And she needs to be very gentle on herself in her recovery.

I will be praying for Melinda's recovery. She has been through so very much! It had to be quite frightening for her. I will pray for peace and comfort, too.

God Bless,
