kaiyah is a tiny little girl, weighing just under 3 lbs. she was born by emergency c-section nearly two weeks ago. her mommy, tara was on strict bed-rest because her placenta was in the wrong position, but unfortunately, little kaiyah had to come out much earlier than she wanted to, for fear of something else going extremely wrong.
when she was born, her little lungs were much stronger than the doctors had expected. she was a little fighter, but then it was found out that she is anemic...and then the valve coming from her heart wasn't closing properly...and then she had to have 2 blood transfusions...and then she got a blood infection...and now they have found quite a bit of bleeding in her brain. this means that, if she survives, she will most likely have brain damage.
please pray for kaiyah and for her parents, tara and ian thompson. they are going through a roller coaster of emotions right now. please pray for kaiyah's older brother, ethan, who is just over 1 year old. he has been having a hard time of being passed around to different relatives' houses so that his parents can make trips to the hospital. and please pray for tara and ian's family. ian is rob's brother (rob is our brother-in-law), so their family is our family and very close to our hearts.
"We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intecedes for us with groans that words cannot express." -Romans 8:26
thanks.

My heart goes out to Tara, Ian, Ethan and the surrounding family and friends, and for little Kaiyah. I will be in prayer for the peace that is beyond understanding for the parents especially. God bless you as you support them in this incredibly difficult time. Love Mom
I prayed with tears, and am keeping her sweet picture on our screen to remember to pray.
Love Leah
