I just heard about a woman who could really use your prayers.  Her name is Christina and she is 1 1/2 weeks past her due date.  She went into the hospital for a C-section, and at some point perioperatively, the baby was noted to no longer have a heartbeat.

I haven’t heard any further updates on the condition of either the mother or the baby.  Please pray that both are well and healthy and strong, and pray for a good outcome.  Please pray to ease the anxiety of the parents.  Pray for the wisdom, skill and attentiveness of the attendings, residents and nursing staff who will care for mother and child.

Please Lord, do not let Christina know the pain of losing her baby.

Update:  Lily Anne was born weighing 8 pounds, 3 ounces!  Both mother and daughter are doing well.  Thank you so much for your prayers!  🙂
