I have a pretty small extended family, just 3 cousins total. Well, one of my cousins, Chad and his wife Ellie were anticipating the arrival of their first baby. Unfortunately when they had their routine ultrasound Wednesday, they were told that something wasn't right and she had to have an emergency c-section..I think about 5-6 weeks early. Baby Emma was born weighing about 3 pounds, she has hydrocephelus (can't spell, but it's common name is "water on the brain"), as well as some heart problems. She will need surgery for both. They are testing her for various "syndromes" and her future is unknown at this point. Please say a prayer for baby Emma and my cousin and his wife, as this is a lot to handle. They are holding up well, had Emma baptized yesterday and she turned to the sound of my cousin's voice, which was a good thing. She is in NICU with 7 doctors of her own and getting great care, but I think we all know the power of prayer sometimes too. Thanks so much!
