Kim (Eight Wonders) had a baby boy, William Anthony, on Thanksgiving Day. Since then, he has lost almost a pound and when Kim took him to the doctor today they immediately sent him to the hospital and they are doing tests to try and figure out why he is losing instead of gaining weight. It is possible they will be transferring him to the Children's Hospital, I guess depending on the results of the tests at the local hospital. They seem to be concerned at this point that there is some problem with either his heart or kidneys. Please keep William and Bob and Kim (and his 8 older siblings) in your prayers.

Thank you, Ruth. Praying for Kim and her beautiful family.
(I am so so sorry, Kim, if you're reading this! I know it is a long shot after 7 children but have them check for Cystic Fibrosis, just in case.)

Update- 12-30
I just spoke to Bob's sister. This is very serious. He is wasting away pretty fast. Kim will be pumping and they are measuring his intake and output. The x-rays showed something is wrong with his kidneys and are not functioning properly, but they don't know why. Our priest has asked at Mass that we pray the Chaplet at 3:00 every day.
Kim needs so many prayers right now. She is going out of her mind. Bob is home with the 8 children, including a 2 year old and twin 4 year olds. This is going to be very difficult for the whole family. I am so heartbroken for them. He is such a precious little baby boy. Please beg for a miracle for this sweet little baby.
I'll update again as soon as I hear.
