Please pray for my sister-in-law. She's expecting baby girl #10 and has had problem pregnancies for the last three pregnancies. She has maxed out her High Blood Pressure medicine, exhausted natural remedies. She needed an emergency C-section with her last pregnancy (twins) at almost 32 weeks (the twins were in the NICU for weeks). Child # 7 was born at 35 weeks and skipped the NICU.
So far she has been in the hospital twice for monitoring of toxemia. Just last night she noticed a strange rash on her face. The tests aren't done but her doctors agree that this more than likely is a symptom of medication induced lupus (rare - but most rare things happen to her).
Right now her little girl is over 33 weeks and weighs over 5 pounds (Yay!) So the big decision that her doctors are mulling over is whether to take the baby now. Erin has had a lot of crosses and is being very brave despite all her ailments. She was in the hospital on Thursday and Friday, but she is home right now. She has a doctor's appointment on Monday morning that will more than likely end up with her back in the hospital.
So to make a long prayer intention short, please pray for the following: Erin and Johanna's health; Holy Spirit prayers for her doctors; for Lupus to go away; and if it be God's will for Johanna to be born preterm -- for Johanna to have the strength of Samson so she can skip the NICU, so that she and Erin can come home together.
Thanks
Maryan (Mom of 4 boys)

UPDATE: Thank you all for your prayers -- they bought Johanna almost another week.
Now I beg you ladies to please pray for Erin who's going in for an emergency C-section tonight around 6 pm. Baby Johanna is 34 weeks old today and looks like she weighs 5 and a half pounds. However, in addition to all of Erin's complications, baby Johanna's heart is not responding correctly to a stress test, the cord is wrapped around her neck twice and is pinched somewhere. There's a small chance Erin will be induced but because of the cord and Erin's health issues, it will most likely be a C-section. This is over 2 weeks later than her twin's birth in her last pregnancy, so that is good!!
Thank you!!

Thanks all for the prayers and by the way (I can't believe I forgot to put this in!) The name is Hebrew and means: God is gracious. That's why they picked it.
And please do spread the word Jenn around our circles...
Thanks all...I'm just sitting here praying for Erin and all the other intentions on this list..
