Prayer Request

Please say a prayer for my new nephew, Connor. He has be jaundiced since he was two days old. He is now thirteen days old. For those who don't know, my family has a hereditary blood disorder that isn't a huge deal from day to day but it can cause major complications along life's way. Passing it on to our children is a 50/50 shot. Kristen and I both inherited it. Callie has it, but Madison does not. Although babies can't be tested until they are 9 months old, the pediatrician is certain that Connor has it as well which is why he has been jaundiced for so long. It's typical for babies with it to do this, but not for this long. He has been sleeping in the "lamp suitcase" on and off since day two because he gets better, then worse, then better again.

Please say a prayer that he will get rid of the jaundice and he can come out of that light suit case.

Oh I hate to hear that. Brooklyn had it really bad but thank God it went away after three days.

We'll pray that this little one starts getting better quickly!

That's awful. I can only imagine how I would be if that was going on with Lincoln. We will be praying for him and Kristen too.
