Baby Lydia

Heh guys, just wanted to ask you to pray for some new friends of mine.

They are Jeff and Janelle.  The live in the building next to us.

I ran into her and her newborn (4 weeks old) on the front step and got to talking.  Her baby is teeny weeny and I noticed she had a feeding tube in her nose.  I asked if she was a preemie and she said that they took her 4 weeks early because she had stopped growing.  I didn't think anything of it until I talked to our other neighbor who shared that this little girl has a chromosomal anomaly called Trisonomy something (I haven't had a chance to research it on the internet)

Anyway, the life expectancy is 6-12 months.  The little girl is 4 lbs.  She has a 3 year old sister named Selah and this couple has moved to here to be close to the prayer room during this time. 

Janelle's daily routine is to take Lydia into the prayer room from 8-10 a.m. to soak in the presence of the Lord and to receive prayer.  I think this is beautiful.

It also makes me so thankful for healthy children.  Again I am reminded how much I take this luxury for granted.

Please pray for this little family if you can
