Prayers for Heather, Babies, Josh

Received word from Greg that the babies, Logan who was born at 6:22pm, weighing 4 pounds, 13 ounces and 18" long along with Lillian who was born at 6:23 and was 4 pounds, 10.5 ounces and 17.5" long, are here and doing well for "pre-me's." Keep Heather, Josh, Jackson, and his new brother and sister, Logan and Lillian in your prayers.

We received a call from Greg (http://gregengland.com/) last night or rather Barb took the call. We have a habit of saying something out loud to make the other guy laugh, whenever one of our spouses answers a call from one of us. I can’t remember what I said to make my friend laugh but I could tell by the look on Barb’s face that this wasn’t your standard, “Hey, how are you doing,” phone call.

Greg called to ask for prayers for his son, Josh, and his daughter-in-law, Heather. Heather has been pregnant with twins and has had some difficulties. She was being closely monitored by the hospital and had gone in for a checkup. Apparently a shot or an I.V. was administered and she immediately passed out.

Long story short – she had gone in distress and the doctors were taking the babies. When Barb got off the phone we gathered our family in the kitchen, held hands, and prayed. I did not like the reason behind why we were praying for we wish Heather and Josh nothing but the best. Still, there is nothing more comforting when your family can go to our Father in prayer for a loved one.

About an hour later we received a call from Greg’s wife, Janice. She said the babies (yes, I’m a guy and totally forgot to ask what sex they were or any of the vitals) had been delivered and were having problems “exchanging gases” but for the moment, that seem to be their only problem. Heather according to Jan, seem to be “well” for the moment.

So family, take a moment and lift this young couple, Heather, Josh, their baby, Jackson, and the 2 little ones that just arrived in prayer.
God bless.

Greg's life will never be the same...what an exciting time (now that they are here and okay)
 
Thanks for the prayer support.
 
I am praying.
 
That's a done deal brother. We've been through this twins birth stress with ours. They spent their first two weeks in intensive care. We will be praying.
 
Still praying that all will continue to go well.
