Prayer Request - December 28th

Wingards - Kelly's Nephew (Dakota)

Bennetts - It's a BOY!

Todd Ring - A friend of mine and former employee, Matt, who helped me start my business recently returned home from Iraq. On the way home from Mississippi his wife informed him that she had been unfaithful while he was gone and was not interested in working things out. He is taking this hard as can be expected. He is struggling with coming home and not having a loving home to return to. He has moved in with his parents in Benton. Pray for him to find a job and for him to have peace as he has to file for divorce.

Emily Hand - I talked to my friend April this weekend. They’ve decided to hold off on taking the baby just yet. Her amniotic fluid levels had risen slightly so they were going to keep her in the hospital until the baby is born and monitor her. She could be in the hospital for another 5 weeks or so so I just wanted to update you all and thank you for your prayers.

Urgent: Prayer Req. for Emily Hand's pregnant friend

Please pray for my best friend April and her unborn baby. She’s 31 weeks along today and went in for a routine dr’s visit and ultrasound yesterday before they were making the trip home for Christmas. They live in Wisconsin and were traveling home to Oklahoma to see her family for Christmas. She has diabetes so they do an ultrasound every month on her. So far into her pregnancy everything has been normal. She went in for her regular appt and to get checked up before they made the trip home for the holidays and the baby was measuring only about 2 lbs. Her amniotic fluid is low and the baby only has 1 blood vessel in the umbilical cord, not 2 as normal so therefore the baby isn’t getting enough nutrients to grow. They have started her on steroids yesterday and she’ll have another round today. They’re going to measure her amniotic fluid again today or tomorrow and if it is the same or lower, they will deliver her by c-section. Please pray for them and for God’s will with the baby. I talked to her last night and I could hear the worry on her voice. She seemed fairly positive but just knowing what we’ve experience my heart aches for her. I told her to just trust in the Lord that his Will will be done no matter what and that we would all be praying for her, her husband Carl, and Baby Nathan .

Thanks
Emily Hand
