Praying for Baby Ella

First allow me to apologize if you are looking for a cute anecdote about our family with this post. This will not be one of those posts.

Tonight (or this morning/afternoon, depending on when you read this), I am asking you to join me in prayer for a precious baby girl who will be born Monday morning (August 9) via C-Section. For those of you who don't know her story, her name is Ella Dawn. Her parents have gone through much difficulty in conceiving her and this pregnancy has been very physically demanding on her mother, Amy. On top of this, halfway through their time with her it was discovered Ella had two rather rare heart conditions - particularly rare when they are combined.

Not being a medical person I cannot accurately go into much detail, but I do know this - immediately after being taken from her mother's womb, Ella will be whisked away to her first surgery to repair her broken heart. The given prognosis to this point has not been completely promising, but we, as her church family, have bonded together in begging healing for this precious baby girl.

Please join us.

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." - James 5:16
